Chain systems cut the cost of transporting energy and dataEnergy chain systems can not only transport energy, data and media to machines and systems, says manufacturer igus UK. They can also influence their energy consumption costs
The unreliability of powerTony Hooper of Scorpions Power Systems considers the issue of power reliability
Energy harvesting set for a 'tsunami wave of new technologies'Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman of IDTechEx, considers new possibilities for energy harvesting (EH) or scavenging — the use of ambient energy to provide electrical power for small electronic and electrical devices
Regulations drive energy-efficienct pump demandGovernment incentives are driving the energy-efficient pump market in Europe, says Syed Tauseef Ahmad, Research Analyst Industrial Automation and Process Control – Europe, at growth partnership provider Frost & Sullivan
Wind turbines cope with Antarctic conditionsA Scottish company has supplied eight wind turbines for use on a base in Antarctica where they must withstand temperatures of -60degC and winds of over 90m/s
Careful pump selection pays off with energy savingsPumps tend to be seen by many in the heating sector as small, insignificant components, and it doesn’t really matter which one you use as part of a system — they’ll all do the job. "How wrong can you be?" asks pump manufacturer Wilo
Plastic bearings aid small turbine developmentOnly a few years ago, small wind turbines were manufactured using simple mechanical design and control technology. Today this has evolved into increasingly high-tech products which compare well with larger systems — and now plastic bearings from igus are helping to make the most of the technology
Monitoring for efficiencyEffective condition monitoring can be a key aspect of achieving efficient energy use in rotating plant and equipment. Here we look at thrust monitoring solutions offered by Sensonics in critical pump applications
