Solar plants - Import export

Sunlight can also be channeled and focused to heat water, which can drive steam turbines in large-scale power plants. This Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) was once dominated by glass mirrors due to their unmatched reflectivity. Recent advances in aluminum reflectivity and brightness, partially due to our processing innovations, however, have made the material an effective substitute. Compared to glass, aluminum solar panels offer significantly lighter weight and better ratio performance versus cost.

Overhead and underground conductors in various designs and constructions for the construction of new lines, the repair of existing transmission grids, the connection of transformer substations, solar and wind power plants. Furthermore, the upgrading of existing lines with high-temperature conductors to increase transmission capacity.

Solar power plants, wind parks and combined heat and power systems have established in energy generating technology. To achieve a high operating reliability, MicroControl solutions ensure perfect system control and precise transfer of measurement data. As for example in the adjustment of solar panels, in temperature measurement in block-type thermal power plants or in torsion measurement in wind power stations.
