Manufacturing of highly efficient photovoltaic systems is marching on. A Korean development sets a new benchmark not only in respect to the efficiency of the solar cell itself, but also “condenses” the sunlight and multiply concentrates it. The result is an outstandingly power dense system designed to most advantageously harvest energy from a so far still sparsely used natural resource. Maxon supplies the drives for continuous tracking of the actual solar position. Read the rest of this entry »

Electric motors in machinery consume huge quantities of electricity, even small improvements can lead to dramatic savings. ABB’s low-voltage drives, which control the power consumed by electric motors, saves an equivalent of 140 million tons of CO2 each year. Not bad. Read the rest of this entry »
