2012 Green Engineering Grant Program renewed
National Instruments will renew its Green Engineering Grant program in 2012. In the last two years, the program has provided assistance to more than 40 companies developing next-generation control and measurement solutions in the renewable energy market. The program helps small companies and research groups around the world with up to $25,000 USD in software and training for graphical system design tools and techniques.
Brian MacCleery, Principal Product Manager - Clean Energy Technology, National Instruments said, "The NI Green Engineering Grant program is helping clean-tech startups get the training and graphical system design tools they need to accelerate the crossover to the era when clean energy is cheaper and more abundant than fossil fuels. National Instruments is proud to work with leading green engineering innovators like Xtreme Power, whose utility scale energy storage technology can make it possible to get a greater percentage of our power from intermittent, renewable sources."
Richard Jennings, Software Engineering Manager, Xtreme Power said, "Thanks to NI hardware and LabVIEW system design software, we were able to use a single integrated development environment for everything from FPGA and real-time targets to user interface and diagnostic PCs. The NI graphical system design approach helped us focus on our application instead of getting bogged down in low-level syntax and implementation details."
