Without this technology, electric motors would always run at full speed and renewables, such as solar and wind power, could not be fed into the electricity grid. http://www.abb.com/cawp/seitp202/85b14cadbc1d544bc1257b5b003de5af.aspx http://www.abb.com/cawp/seitp202/85b14cadbc1d544bc1257b5b003de5af.aspx Tue, 7 May 2013 06:20:12 GMT 2013-05-07 - ABB has turned one of its Japanese factories into a rooftop solar power plant to demonstrate the potential of solar power in a country seeking clean alternatives to nuclear energy. http://www.abb.com/cawp/seitp202/3d6590f999465fabc1257b6300366c63.aspx http://www.abb.com/cawp/seitp202/3d6590f999465fabc1257b6300366c63.aspx Wed, 24 Apr 2013 14:11:51 GMT 2013-04-24 - Stability of the grid has a special meaning in the renewable power generation sector. Storing energy from the grid and feeding it back when required offers a range of options that enhance the stability, performance, power quality and reliability of electricity grids integrating renewable sources. ABB and Prudent Energy have numerous references in this application field and their number keeps growing. http://www.abb.com/cawp/seitp202/99f78b02c1ce6861c1257b4e00449362.aspx http://www.abb.com/cawp/seitp202/99f78b02c1ce6861c1257b4e00449362.aspx Fri, 19 Apr 2013 15:13:27 GMT 2013-04-19 - It is universal, abundant and costs nothing. Yet only in the past few years have ambitions to harness the sun’s rays for affordable electricity started living up to their backers’ expectations. http://www.abb.com/cawp/seitp202/85e3b8ea81fc301ac1257b520052f77b.aspx http://www.abb.com/cawp/seitp202/85e3b8ea81fc301ac1257b520052f77b.aspx Tue, 2 Apr 2013 10:52:40 GMT 2013-04-02 - ABB’s successful central inverter series, PVS800 is now available in larger sizes. The new 875 and 1000 kilowatt (kW) central inverters reduce overall system cost and have even higher total efficiency with one of the most compact and easy-to-maintain designs on the market. The operating temperature and altitude rating have both been extended and the modular direct current (DC) input design provides greater flexibility for system integrators. http://www.abb.com/cawp/seitp202/2b3895514a7d3b86c1257b3c00320eab.aspx http://www.abb.com/cawp/seitp202/2b3895514a7d3b86c1257b3c00320eab.aspx Thu, 7 Mar 2013 08:18:49 GMT 2013-03-07 - ABB has expanded the production of its solar inverters by opening a production line in India to support the rapidly growing local photovoltaic (PV) market. The first orders from new production line have been delivered already and over 200 megawatts (MW) of orders is booked. http://www.abb.com/cawp/seitp202/cd04bab9196d3374c1257b2700292320.aspx http://www.abb.com/cawp/seitp202/cd04bab9196d3374c1257b2700292320.aspx Thu, 7 Feb 2013 08:28:12 GMT 2013-02-07 - ABB has been awarded contracts to supply solar inverters for two large-scale greenfield PV projects in the United Kingdom. The inverters are to be installed in bespoke containers designed by the client and are scheduled to be commissioned in March. http://www.abb.com/cawp/seitp202/fe73714ef9aefbfbc1257b0b002abc2d.aspx http://www.abb.com/cawp/seitp202/fe73714ef9aefbfbc1257b0b002abc2d.aspx Fri, 11 Jan 2013 13:53:39 GMT 2013-01-11 - ABB’s first megawatt-scale photovoltaic (PV) power plant in Latin America using ABB central inverters has been commissioned and is successfully feeding power to the electricity grid in Mexico. http://www.abb.com/cawp/seitp202/c9ae71d8c2f180bfc1257af00041535b.aspx http://www.abb.com/cawp/seitp202/c9ae71d8c2f180bfc1257af00041535b.aspx Sun, 23 Dec 2012 21:09:49 GMT 2012-12-23 - One of the biggest problems facing a fish farm is how to prevent predatory birds from feeding on the fish. Loud noises and flashing lights are two methods of prevention. A more innovative one is a roof-top photovoltaic plant that protects the fish and earns the farm revenues. http://www.abb.com/cawp/seitp202/099b33661e81174ec1257ad1003a743e.aspx http://www.abb.com/cawp/seitp202/099b33661e81174ec1257ad1003a743e.aspx Thu, 13 Dec 2012 07:21:22 GMT 2012-12-13 - ABB has been awarded contracts for supplying solar inverters for approximately 33 megawatt (MW) in Greece. These inverters are to be used in several different system integrators’ projects scattered around the mainland of Greece, scheduled to be commissioned in the coming two to three months. http://www.abb.com/cawp/seitp202/a89da7899d2987dec1257ad30026387d.aspx http://www.abb.com/cawp/seitp202/a89da7899d2987dec1257ad30026387d.aspx
