About US

Creative Power Systems, Inc.(CPS) is a Michigan, USA Corporation devoted to the research, product development, design, manufacture, test, and sale of distributed generation products, energy storage, distribution automation, smart grid monitoring devices, and software for the real time monitoring, analysis, and control of both transmission and distribution electric power systems. CPS owns and operates a complete high voltage and high current test laboratory facility with indoor and outdoor test spans up to 345 kV ac steady state voltage, impulse up to 1,080,000 volts dc, fault current up to 50 kA ac, and indoor test spans up to 4000 A ac steady state current. In addition, CPS has performed engineering consulting work throughout the USA and rest of world. CPS manufacturing is performed at its own facilities in Detroit, Michigan, and Prague, Czech Republic.
