The world’s first MicroCSP Solar Thermal Plant was inaugurated on 10 December, 2009 by Sopogy. The inauguration took place at the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii. This thermal energy project that spreads across 3.8 acres in the Kona desert is titled: “Holaniku at Keahole Point”. This title is derived from a Hawaiian term that refers to a location that is self-sufficient in all aspects.
International Rollforms made an announcement of the installation of a solar energy system at the company’s New Jersey manufacturing plant, which measures 65,000 square foot. This installation is part of the company’s effort to create a greener environment and to increase its business efficiency.
Burnaby School District is installing rooftop solar power systems at its two new school buildings. Rooftop solar power systems supplied by Victoria-based Carmanah Technologies are used for this purpose, in an effort to fulfill sustainability objectives and move closer to achieving LEED certification for the school buildings.
First Light solar energy park, a joint venture of SkyPower and SunEdison, was named as "Solar PV (photovoltaic) Project of the Year" by the Canadian Solar Industries Association (CanSIA). This was announced in Toronto during its annual Solar Conference. First Light solar energy park generates more than 11 million kW of power per annum.
Catch the Wind Ltd. had undertaken a field trial program for its Vindicator(R) Laser Wind Sensor (LWS) with Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD). The final results of the trial have been released by Catch the Wind. The results clearly established the efficiency of the Vindicator LWS system. This system detects strong currents of wind and aligns the wind energy system to achieve maximum utilization in such a scenario. The energy output of a turbine fitted with Vindicator was seen to increase by an average of 12.3% due to the alignment.
GE has received a $1.4 billion contract to supply wind turbines from an independent power producer, Caithness Energy, for a new 845 MW wind farm project that is to be constructed at Oregon. GE also has to provide services for the wind power project as per the contract terms.
The EcoTec UniQ boiler incorporates a large fire box along with an ash drawer and a flue pipe that can be adjustable along with draught limiter. With an automatic sweeping done for flue gas ducts, the water absorbs more heat to reduce the consumption of pellet. There is an internal water buffer tank with the capacity up to 350 liters. The pellet boiler has a self-igniting burner and the wood pellet is fed automatically through an auger pipe to the chamber and then to the boiler.
The operation of the Wattsun active solar tracker also maximizes the amount of power generated by the solar array from approximately 10 per cent to about 50 per cent. This is dependant on climatic conditions. This solar tracker from Susitna Energy Systems is ideal for hot summer conditions, when there is a higher power requirement for water pumping applications. With the use of the Wattsun active solar tracker, it becomes possible to pump a higher volume of water.
Solectria Renewables produces various models of grid-tied solar inverters that are suitable for commercial applications. The PVI 15kW photovoltaic inverter is a DSP controlled inverter that can be used for three-phase utility PV systems and for industrial applications. The PV inverter includes different control devices and techniques such as precision MPT algorithm, space vector PWM, and low loss rench gate IGBTs. The maximum efficiency rate of the gird-tied inverter is 97 percent.
The guy-less tilt down tower has small footprint and it is easy to assemble. The tower kit includes structural steel tower, winch line, industrial winch, fasteners, pulley, anti-corrosion paste, down tower cable, cable strain relief, electrical tape, wire nuts, split bolts, 3-phase lighting arrestor, box connector, PVC conduit, 8 x 8 feet junction box, rebar, ground rod and tower bonding point
