‘Renewable Energy’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Thermometers feature advanced signal processing from
Ircon, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ircon has introduced the Modline 6 Series of infrared thermometers with advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release ABB drives reduce swimming pool energy bills from
ABB Automation Tech (Drives and Motors): "ABB drives have helped a UK holiday park operator save GBP77,000 a year on energy bills for its swimming pools. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from ControlEng Corp
- take a look at Servosoft ECM determines energy costs
which says: "Servosoft now includes an Energy Cost Model (ECM), which calculates annual and lifetime energy cost, and provides a benefit analysis of adding more capacitance or switching to a regenerative drive. ".
Take a look also at the news release from National Instruments, NI expands HIL simulation platform,
as well as Airchannel helps timber specialist save energy from Airchannel,
and Lifebatt battery modules include management system from Lifebatt.
