System Conception & Design for
Renewable Energy Sources
Renewable = { Degradation Rate <= Generation
Rate }
This is the key to understand what renewable energy resources are about!
Resources which use does not satisfy this definition are depletable and should
be conserved as much as possible.
This characterizes our philosophy in this area of services.
We are here connected in a network of specialists on thermal and
photovoltaic systems for solar energy conversion. This network includes, besides
consultants and installers, laboratories specialized on sputtering (selective black cermets and mirrors) and
photovoltaic cells.
Your Advantages
Solar
energy applications are bound to represent an ever more important part of
the energy supply of most countries, particularly of those with large to
moderate number of insolation hours per year. Those who appropriate
earlier the technology of these applications will have a remarkable
competitive advantage over the laggards; The
specialists in our
network are able to propose and develop advanced solutions
in terms of methods and materials, particularly regarding environmental
effects of manufacturing; Integrated
systems, obtained from a single source, concur to better and more
efficient solutions; Development
and manufacturing may go hand in hand with our network.
Our Capabilities
Spanning the whole field from the design and development of individual
components to the whole solar energy conversion system:
- Development and scale-up to manufacturing of high-quality
solar radiation absorbers
- Selective black cermets, with characteristics adjusted to various
ranges of operation temperatures;
-
- Development and scale-up to manufacturing of high-quality
solar radiation concentrators
- Concentrating mirrors, created by sputtering on a variety of
substrata and in various sizes and shapes, particularly compound
parabolic concentrators (CPC);
-
- Development and scale-up to manufacturing of high-quality
energy transfer systems
- Various methods of thermal energy transfer from collector to the
application, depending on the thermal level required (two-phase
thermosyphon, boiling fluids, thermal oils, water, etc.);
-
- Development and scale-up to manufacturing of combinations of
thermal-photovoltaic systems with concentration
- Such a system provides for simultaneous transformation of solar
radiation into thermal and electrical energy, while increasing the
efficiency of the photovoltaic cells;
-
- Development and scale-up to manufacturing of evacuated
concentrating radiation absorbers
- Special type of radiation absorber built with an integrated,
evacuated concentrator suitable for operation at temperatures above
150 °C.
