The company is a leader in the installation of protection and control systems for renewable energy substations in Spain. Ingeteam recently contributed to the commissioning of the Francisco Pizarro photovoltaic plant (Cáceres), the largest in Europe, which integrates 590 MW into the grid. Ingeteam technology is present in the form of automation, protection and control systems at the substations where renewable energy is evacuated, and which transform the energy from the generation plants for its transmission and distribution. The company thereby enables evacuation to the grid of more than 35% of the renewable energy generated in Spain. November 2022 data from Red Eléctrica indicates that the presence of renewable energies in the energy mix has increased to 46.9%, highlighting the importance of evacuation to the grid. Renewable energy generation in November rose by 5.6% in Spain compared to the same month in 2021, totalling 10,200 GWh. Significant renewables integration is a major challenge for the electricity system. In this respect, Ingeteam provides solutions to make the grid more intelligent and optimise its use. These include innovative technologies based on FACTS (flexible alternating current transmission systems), which provide operators with tools that enable them to quickly react to changing operating conditions, thereby providing stability and optimising existing infrastructure resources. The positive scenario for renewable energy in Spain has been one of the main foundations that have enabled Ingeteam to win numerous contracts around the world. The company currently has more than 30GW of renewable power evacuated worldwide, with installations spread over 5 continents. Notable amongst the main facilities commissioned this year is the Francisco Pizarro photovoltaic plant (Cáceres), which has managed to position itself as the largest in Europe, integrating 590 MW into the grid. Ingeteam supplied 92 power stations for this project, the scope of supply for which also includes the control and commissioning system and the protection and control system for the evacuation substation. For Jorge Haya, Director of Ingeteam's Power Grid Automation business unit, "the future will be renewable or there won’t be a future, so our challenge is to put all our electrical power conversion and control electronics technology at the service of this energy transition, of this new sustainable energy model, based on the generation of renewable energy to boost the most efficient consumption, all whilst leaving the smallest possible environmental footprint".

The shipyard was built more than 100 years ago to provide repair and maintenance services to vessels transiting the Panama Canal. It has recently been purchased and refurbished to bring it back into operation. In addition, the shipyard has approximately 6,500 m2 of workshop space, which is currently being refurbished. The reactivation of the shipyard will have a direct impact on the national economy by boosting the creation of direct and indirect jobs, reactivating and strengthening the entire Panamanian maritime conglomerate. Ingeteam has supplied the main dewatering equipment for emptying docks 2 and 3 when ships come in for repairs.  In total there have been 3 pieces of equipment, one Indar HE pump for the main dewatering of the dock and two Indar BF as auxiliary pumping for the leaks in the dock. The equipment was designed ad hoc, to cover the whole range of operation required in the emptying of the dike, with a wide variation of pumping heights. In addition, they are high flow and high power submersible units for fast and controlled dike emptying, thus reducing prolonged consumption and achieving a more efficient operation. A robust solution when it comes to efficient water treatment and energy use. Thanks to our submersible technology, we eliminate the risk of flooding in the pumping room. We offer a more compact and easy-to-install solution with no vibration in operation and very low maintenance costs. We also use Duplex stainless steel as a special material to ensure durability in saline conditions. Finally, we also supply Ingeteam Variable Frequency Drives and Starters as a complete solution and integration for an efficient pumping system. The consortium Astilleros Puerto Balboa S.A. (Astibal), of the Spanish group Astilleros Canarios S.A. (Astican), was the only bidder in the tender for the shipyard, which started operations in 1916, is located at the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal and is the only facility in Panama with three dry docks. Dock number 1 has the capacity to receive Panamax type vessels, with a length of 318 metres and a width of 33.6 metres, with a maximum draught of 7.9 metres. It is for this reason that it is considered a very important asset for the maritime industry. The other two docks have been used for repairs of smaller vessels such as tuna boats, fuel barges, tugboats and other vessels providing auxiliary maritime services, with the following dimensions: Dock 2 is 130 metres long by 25.9 metres wide with a draught of 6.4 metres. Dock 3, on the other hand, is 70 metres long by 15 metres wide with a maximum draught of 4.3 metres. In addition, the facilities include an administrative building, pump room, 6 work and storage hangars. Astibal will carry out in this shipyard all kinds of ship repairs including underwater works, surface treatment of hull and tanks, repair and maintenance of engines, electrical equipment, piping, steel, tail shafts, propellers, fitting out. We are fully committed with all our products and services with the management and efficient use of water resources to provide solutions with our advanced water engineering to achieve an efficient use of water. Always hand in hand with a team that believes in the project and that contributes its grain of sand in the energy transition in which we find ourselves to achieve a cleaner planet.

The plant control system and power station commissioning tasks were also included in Ingeteam's scope of supply. The Francisco Pizarro solar plant reflects Iberdrola's confidence in and its firm commitment to local suppliers. Iberdrola has entrusted Ingeteam with the supply and commissioning of the largest solar power plant in Europe to date. It is the Francisco Pizarro solar plant, located in Cáceres, which reflects Iberdrola's commitment to providing its projects with local technology. With an installed capacity of more than 590 MW, the solar power plant is already in operation and generating enough energy to power 334,400 households a year. Ingeteam provided its technology via the supply of 92 power stations, 312 solar inverters, the power plant controller (PPC), and electricity substation and solar power plant connection works, thanks to the expertise of its team of commissioning technicians. Jesús Echarte, commercial director of Ingeteam's solar power business, emphasised that "this project is very important for Ingeteam, as it has further strengthened our long-standing and very good commercial relationship with Iberdrola. It has also allowed us to play the role we like best: that of a technology partner, where we accompany the customer in all phases of project development. Wed, 21 Dec 2022 09:00:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:3448 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/3445/language/en-US/Ingeteam-technology-on-Spains-largest-oceanographic-research-vessel.aspx#Comments 0 https://www.ingeteam.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=3366&ModuleID=3021&ArticleID=3445 https://www.ingeteam.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=3445&PortalID=1&TabID=3366 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/3445/language/en-US/Ingeteam-technology-on-Spains-largest-oceanographic-research-vessel.aspx Ingeteam is to supply equipment including Indar electric motors and Ingedrive power converters for the Odón de Buen, a powerful vessel owned by the Spanish Oceanographic Institute which will commence operations in 2025. The company will be fitting the latest green propulsion technology for silent running with minimal C02 emissions, so assure the conservation of marine animals. Ingeteam thus confirms the leading role in the development of components for Spanish oceanographic vessels, for which it is one of the main suppliers. Ingeteam's cutting-edge technology is to enable the immensity of the ocean floor to be observed close-up in a more sustainable fashion, thanks to the electrical equipment that the company is to supply to the Spanish Oceanographic Institute for the Odón de Buen, which is to be Spain's largest marine research vessel. This highly specialised equipment features the latest technology in green propulsion, which will enable the Odón de Buen (named after the founder of the Spanish Oceanographic Institute) to run in complete silence. This is essential for ocean observation and working with scientific echo-sounders. The vessel also has low CO2 emissions to minimise its impact on and disturbance of marine organisms. Ingeteam is currently manufacturing the Indar electric motors and Ingedrive power converters for the vessel's main and tunnel drive propulsion units. In all this means 2 motors and 6 power converters with different ratings, enabling gas emissions into the atmosphere to be reduced. The company is also to supply the propulsion control system for the vessel, which is designed to increase the efficiency of the main and auxiliary propulsion units. The technological solutions developed by Ingeteam for this vessel will help to make it possible for the first time to study marine ecosystems, habitats and the ocean floor anywhere in the world, including the areas around the poles, at depths in excess of 6000 m. The vessel is to be 85 m long and 18 in width, with a range of 50 days. There will be room on board for a 500 m2 laboratory. Its cost is close to €85 million, and construction is under way at the Astilleros Armón shipyard in Vigo. The vessel is to come into service in 2025, in a further landmark in the solid links between the two companies as they seek to lead the worldwide oceanographic market. The Odon de Buen is to have a clearly global, multi-purpose remit. It will enable projects to be diversified in areas such as marine biology, geology and fishing, to name but a few. Ingeteam is thus confirming the leading position in the design and development of innovative technological solutions for handling scientific instruments for detecting marine organisms, and in implementing silent running technologies for oceanographic vessels. The company is a pioneer in this field. It has become one of the main suppliers of components for the oceanographic vessels of the Spanish Oceanographic Institute. These components, which the Basque firm makes for low-noise motors, are fundamental in such vessels, as they emit the lowest possible level of vibrations so as to comply with specific regulations in the field and assure the preservation of the marine environment and ecosystem. Ingeteam's recent contributions to the field of marine research include a sophisticated refit of the power converters and propulsion units of the Vizconde de Eza, a long-distance vessel with a track record of over 100 campaigns. The company also fitted a dynamic positioning system that enables the vessel to hold its position and thus take more precise observations even in poor weather. At international level, Ingeteam has participated in projects such as the Norwegian vessel Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, which features an electrical propulsion system that is considerably more efficient than conventional diesel units. It is also highly reliable, as each electro motor is powered by its own converter and the layout of equipment is flexible, which facilitates maintenance and minimises environmental impact. Also stand out other vessels like REV, RV Tom Cream, RV Bélgica II, Baia Farta, CGS John Cabot, CCGS Captain Jacques Cartier, BIP Victor Angelescu, Bipo Inapesca and the RV Investigator. In short, the idea is to place cutting-edge technology at the service of the scientific community so that scientists can see (and hear) more and further, and thus continue making discoveries in the inexhaustible biodiversity that can be found in the depths of the seas and oceans around the world.

This ship is South Korea’s first smart electric passenger ship. Ingeteam has been working on the project for the last year. Specifically, Ingeteam supplied and commissioned its converter Ingedrive LV400 DC Grid type, which enables a more efficient grid by reducing the number of power conversion stages and allows variable-speed generation of the gensets, thus operating at the most efficient point. As a result of this and Ingeteam’s technology, the vessel can be considered a “green ship”, increasing its added value. With a capacity of up to 375 passsengers, the ship will shortly begin service. Specifically, it will sail the "Whales Sea Travel Line" near Jangsaengpo, a port in the southern area of Ulsan, South Korea’s seventh largest city with a population of 1.1 million. With a length of 89.2 metres, a breadth of 12.8 metres, the ship will sail at a maximum speed of 16 knots. Its construction began last year at the Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in Ulsan, and it uses information and communication technologies making it a smart electric ship. The equipment supplied by the company is fully redundant in case of failure of any of the converter outputs, and it is a DC grid and can therefore serve directly as the ship’s power plant.

It is the result of a continuous and evolutionary design based on HV IGBT semiconductor technology. A solution so cutting-edge in the industry that it is already emerging as the new standard for future offshore wind megaturbines. Ingeteam has developed the INGECON® WIND FULL CONVERTER MV, a new product range of medium voltage full power converters designed to improve the performance of the world’s most powerful offshore wind turbines. The converter is already available for offshore turbines up to 15MW and is projected to be ready for 18MW machines by 2024. This latest innovation is part of Ingeteam’s suite of full power drive train components, including the high-performance INDAR generators. The company’s offshore wind converters and generators can be combined and integrated to form a highly optimized and competitive full power drive train solution suited for the most demanding offshore environments. Advancing full power drive train performance Ingeteam has developed a full range of drive train products for full power conversion topologies to meet the strong performance requirements in the offshore wind market. Its power converters and generators are designed with a common objective in mind: to maximise energy yield, lower turbine downtime and offer an optimised electrical system highly competitive both on costs and efficiency. INGECON® WIND FULL POWER CONVERTER MV product range is the result of a continuous and evolutionary design based on HV IGBT semiconductors technology. The evolution of the HV IGBT during the past years has allowed to deliver a solution that increases the power density of the converters design with minimal changes, offering superior performance compared to other solutions in the market. Ingeteam’s HV IGBT is a widely used technology that has been proven during years of operation in harsh environments such as traction, marine propulsions and dredging applications. The full power converters can reach up to a 18MW rating thanks to the parallelization of two conversion lines, which provides redundancy in terms of de-rated operation under a conversion line fault. Unlike other solutions, INGECON® WIND FULL CONVERTER MV operating with HV IGBT packages does not require a double cooling system, leading to unmatched energy density. “One of the main electrical drive train topologies is based on two electrically independent connections, one per conversion line. The power converter redundancy increases turbine availability if one of the conversion line fails. This is a key advantage in the offshore market as it increases the energy yield and the return on investment.”, explains Carlos Gironés, R&D Director of Converters & Controls at Ingeteam Wind Energy. Ingeteam also offers two different generator series for full power conversion topologies. The INDAR PMG series feature generators based on Permanent Magnet Technology, which require very low maintenance and offer high reliability. The INDAR PMG series can feature a wide range of cooling systems and voltage levels. They can accommodate for direct-drive, medium-speed and high-speed machines. On the other hand, the INDAR IG series work with a coupled 3-stage gearbox by means of a flexible and insulated coupling. Next generation converters for giant offshore wind turbines Ingeteam’s full power conversion solution comes as a response to some of the most important challenges facing the offshore wind market today. Next generation converters for giant offshore wind turbines must be able to guarantee the fulfilment of the most demanding grid codes and to meet ever increasing power quality standards. They need to operate reliably in the toughest offshore environments, to facilitate maintenance needs and are generally expected to make a meaningful contribution to lowering offshore wind LCOE. “We wanted to provide our OEM customers working on next-generation offshore turbines with a power conversion solution that combines optimized cost, high efficiency, easy maintainability, and improved reliability, all combined into one rugged product. Years of R&D have led to a power conversion solution that, by parallelizing two conversion lines, can push the previous power rating boundaries at medium voltage past the 13MW limit to reach 18MW. Such a cutting-edge solution in the sector is already emerging as the new standard for future offshore wind mega turbines.”, concluded Carlos Gironés, R&D Director of Converters & Controls at Ingeteam Wind Energy.

Committed to efficient water resource management and use in the entire value chain, Ingeteam has created a specific division focused on offering optimal solutions for pumping systems, energy distribution and automation of water management processes. Ingeteam, from its Water sector, offers solutions for the entire water cycle. We cover everything from deep groundwater abstraction, to abstraction for desalination plants to produce drinking water. We also provide solutions for water and wastewater management, both domestic and industrial, with pumping station applications, for example in wastewater treatment plants. Finally, and very importantly, we offer solutions for surface runoff management and flood control, a major challenge in areas vulnerable to climate change such as the Mediterranean basin. It goes without saying that for all these applications we have an after-sales service, which supports our customers and ensures the highest level of service operations 24/7. Regarding our product portfolio, we have a range of Indar submersible multistage centrifugal pumps, with a wide range of flow and head, suitable for potable water and water with low solid content. We also have Indar centrifugal volute pumps for water with a high solid load and Indar axial impeller pumps for high flow and low head applications. This portfolio also includes control systems, frequency converters and operation and maintenance services for the different applications mentioned above. Evolution of the water cycle management Water cycle management has experienced a very important development in the last forty years, especially in countries like Spain, where water resource availability and the supplied volume are irregular. The need to guarantee the water supply at an affordable cost and with a minimum environmental impact has been the driving force behind this evolution. This scenario has led to using a mix of different water sources. In addition to conventional sources, drinking water is obtained from seawater through desalination processes. On the other hand, reclaimed water is also obtained through tertiary purification processes, covering a significant portion of the purposes and demands water is used for. This implies, for each application, different water characteristics – supernatant, suspended sands, etc. – and very different pumping conditions, in more or less corrosive environments. These two reasons have been the fundamental drivers for pumping solutions to offer product designs such as hydraulic pumps and motor types with higher performance, and wire-to-water solutions, which are better suited to the new requirements of water management. This is exactly what we do at Ingeteam Water: design the product to offer our customers the best solution in terms of operability, durability and reliability, without forgetting energy efficiency, for all stages of the water cycle. The search for more efficient and environmentally friendly solutions, as well as the digitalisation in the sector, are the levers that drive current and future solutions. The importance of water in the energy transition The relationship between water and energy is intrinsic. We could say that one cannot exist without the other. On the one hand, water is an energy-generating resource in hydropower plants and can also accumulate energy, as in pumped storage hydropower facilities. Energy is also used for water withdrawal, transport, distribution, treatment and reuse for all authorised uses, such as in the industrial, domestic, agricultural, municipal, etc. sectors. Climate change and its consequences are on the agenda of all governments. Energy transition programmes impact most industries and water is not an exception. Water-based energy storage projects, taking advantage of hydroelectric generation infrastructure with reversible power generation processes and subsequent pumping, show the importance of water in the energy transition we are going through. It is a solution that allows greater flexibility when it comes to adapting the generation capacity of the system to the existing demand. It is essential to ensure efficiency in the management of the resource, especially in sensitive activities such as distribution, ensuring optimum operation of infrastructure, from water withdrawal to delivery. To achieve this objective, Ingeteam adapts the operational design of the pumping stations, adjusting the pump curve (Best Efficiency Point) to the facility as much as possible, thus avoiding hours of pumping inefficiency. Avoiding losses in the network is essential to increase the energy efficiency of the system and avoid overconsumption of energy. It is also necessary to promote water reuse after appropriate treatment processes. This entails obtaining a water resource in optimal condition, with a lower energy cost than would be the case with conventional water sources or through desalination. This practice is especially necessary for areas with water stress due to the seasonality of water demand and the unevenness of rainfall patterns. This is the case in the entire Mediterranean basin and the Spanish Mediterranean coast, with very pronounced seasonal population fluctuations and an irregular rainfall regime. Ingeteam’s Indar pumping solutions Ingeteam is the right partner for the design of pumping solutions. In this regard, the role of pump manufacturers has evolved from that of a mere product supplier to that of solution providers, accompanying our clients in their projects from the initial design phase.  Our goal is to collaborate closely with the customer, offering our extensive experience in the design of Indar pumping systems, optimizing their performance and innovating and developing our products. We aim to offer the best engineering service, according to the specifications of each project. We could give as an example our Indar permanent magnet submersible motors (PMM) filled with water and free of oils, which offer better electrical performance while caring for the environment, or Indar centrifugal pumps that provide greater operational reliability with their anti-clogging impellers. All this can be summarised in that Ingeteam, from its Water sector, offers the best support to its customers to achieve the best solution with the lowest energy consumption and operating cost throughout a product’s life cycle.

Ingeteam supplied the battery containers, the power conversion systems, the control system, the commissioning of the array and the operation and maintenance services. Ingeteam was selected as a technology partner by Global Power Generation (GPG), the international generation subsidiary of the Naturgy group, to equip an electricity storage project in Australia. The 10 MW, 20 MWh capacity battery system is associated with the 109 MW Berrybank 2 wind farm in Victoria, which GPG will start operating in the coming months. The battery storage facility, located in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), will support ACT's distribution network at the Queanbeyan substation, in partnership with the region's transmission grid service provider, TransGrid. This project represents a milestone for Ingeteam, as it is the first large-scale storage project in Australia for which the company has provided a comprehensive supply. In this regard, José Antonio Unanue, Director of Ingeteam's BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) business, stated that "this project has been a real challenge for us, as it involved the comprehensive supply (power stations, battery containers, control system, etc.) for a project developed in the antipodes, in a very complicated context due to the numerous restrictions posed by the pandemic. The project could not have been completed without the essential contribution of our subsidiary in Australia. Which is why we in the BESS business are very pleased and proud to have successfully brought it to fruition". Ingeteam supplied two power conversion systems (all-in-one electricity substations integrating battery inverters, transformers, medium voltage cells, etc.), four 2.5 MW/5 MWh battery storage containers and the control system to manage the operation of the entire storage plant. Ingeteam conducted the commissioning of the plant and will also be responsible for operation and maintenance via its local subsidiary. This is the second large-scale storage project in Australia that Ingeteam is involved with and the third in Oceania. Ingeteam had previously supplied power conversion systems for projects on the continent. Global Power Generation (GPG), a joint venture between Naturgy Energy Group, SA (75%) and Kuwait Investment Authority (25%), manages a total installed capacity of more than 4 GW in 8 countries.

Ingeteam’s order book is at a record high and its in-house technology development has made it a key player in the electrification of society. The anniversary event was attended by the President of the Basque Government Iñigo Urkullu, the Head of the Bizkaia Provincial Government Unai Rementeria and the Government Delegate Denis Itxaso, among other authorities. Ingeteam’s 50th anniversary celebration was held today in the Euskalduna Palace in Bilbao, with a stirring tribute to the four families who founded the company. 50 years ago a group of four engineer friends travelling home after completing post-graduate engineering studies in Germany, decided to set up a business. Despite the tough situation at the time, they founded the company TEAM in 1972, and it later merged with Ingelectric to create Ingeteam.   The foursome – Javier Madariaga, Víctor Mendiguren, Miguel Gandiaga and Alberto Belaustegui – laid the foundations for Ingeteam to become what it is today, a company with a staff of 4,100 and four Spanish production centres, in Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa, Navarra and Albacete. It also has production facilities in Milwaukee in the United States, Brazil, Mexico and India, and sales offices in 24 countries. In short, Ingeteam is a multinational operating in all 5 continents. The anniversary celebration was attended by the Ingeteam’s Chairwoman Teresa Madariaga and its CEO Adolfo Rebollo, together with the President of the Basque Government Iñigo Urkullu, the Head of the Bizkaia Provincial Government Unai Rementeria and the Government Delegate Denis Itxaso, among other authorities. The event also attracted participation from customers, suppliers and company employees. In the words of Ingeteam’s Chairwoman Teresa Madariaga, “Ingeteam will follow the path set out by its four founders, with the same effort, drive and enthusiasm as they had at the start, to continue at the forefront of technology for at least another 50 years to come”. Likewise, Ingeteam’s CEO Adolfo Rebollo said he wished to “thank the customers, institutions and all the colleagues that have been part of the Ingeteam family. To those of you who are here today and to those who are no longer with us, thank you for making it possible to celebrate Ingeteam’s 50th anniversary today. With deep convictions and innovation potential, we want to become established as leaders in renewable energy generation, in storage, smart grids and clean, efficient energy consumption. We want to gain even more recognition for changing the energy model, and we will dedicate all our efforts to that in the forthcoming years.” Over these 50 years, Ingeteam has successfully established itself at the cutting edge of technology in the sectors it works in: wind energy, solar power, electric mobility, electrical grids, green hydrogen, hydraulic generation, the naval, traction, metallurgy, water and mining industries and energy storage, among others. Technology milestones To outline some of Ingeteam’s main milestones, in 1984 the company embarked on the development of the first hydroelectric power generation regulation systems, a generation control system that would later be applied to wind energy and photovoltaic power. In the 1990s, together with the electric companies, it specialised in the turnkey supply of turbine regulation and control units and the entire automation process for hydroelectric plants. In the same decade it launched a series of subsidiary companies, firstly in Germany and later in the Czech Republic, Mexico, France, South Africa, Chile, Thailand, Panama, the Philippines, Uruguay, Morocco, the UK, Honduras, Vietnam and other countries. In 1995, Ingeteam pioneered the development of variable speed machines, a technology that has since become the gold standard of the wind energy industry. The company’s development of power electronics systems for the wind energy sector in 2000 gave rise to variants applicable to other types of renewable energy, such as photovoltaic solar power in 2001, which was just starting out at the time. In 2010 Ingeteam took its first steps in the electric mobility sector, developing electric vehicle recharging posts. The company’s focus on the electrification of society, together with its technological capacity, has enabled it to become established as one of the main players in this sector. Ingeteam began to operate in the energy storage sector in 2009 with various R&D projects. In 2014, after carrying out a series of distribution substation projects, it built the first utility-scale facility, a 9 MWh station annexed to a photovoltaic generation plant. In 2021 it launched its green hydrogen business with the aim of becoming the leading company for power electronics related to green hydrogen generation. Over its 50 years of business, Ingeteam has succeeded in securing major contracts with the world’s top companies, winning public contracts and competing with the main technologists on a global level. Its technology is used in wind farms and photovoltaic plants worldwide, on ships and cruise liners, in desalination plants, on trains, metros and trams, in biomass, hydraulic and metallurgical plants and in mines, among other areas. The company is currently implementing an ambitious strategic plan involving the recruitment of 1,000 people in the next three years, more than 100 of whom will work in the R&D area, and €210m investment, €140m of which will go to R&D so that it can continue its commitment to in-house technology. The company is a key player in the electrification of society, as can be seen from a record order book resulting from in-house technology development. Thanks to this firm commitment, Ingeteam has invested 5% of its annual turnover in R&D for several decades.

The plant is scheduled to come into operation in July when it will start generating enough energy to power a 150,000-home city. Neoenergia, part of the Iberdrola Group and one of the largest energy distributors in Brazil, has entrusted Ingeteam to supply solar inverters, substations and protection and control equipment for a solar plant in Brazil. Neoenergia has already started to test the solar park located in the municipality of Santa Luzia, in the state of Paraíba. With a capacity of 149 MW, the solar PV plant is scheduled to come into operation in July, when it will start generating enough energy to power a city of 150,000 homes. It should be noted that both the manufacture of the central inverters and the integration of the substations were conducted locally, at the company's production plant in Campinas, a city in the state of Sao Paulo, where it has been based for more than 20 years. Specifically, 18 power stations or substations have been supplied, each including four central inverters, thus achieving a “turnkey” 6.56 MW solution. Substation protection and control cabinets have also been equipped with IEC61850 IEDs from the INGEPAC family, which have been manufactured at Ingeteam's facilities in Curitiba, Brazil. The Luzia 138/34.5 kV substation facility will evacuate the 130MW of capacity generated by the solar complex. With the commissioning of this project and the ongoing installation of others, solar power supplied by Ingeteam in the country now totals 1.5 GW. For José Nardi, director of Ingeteam's solar business in Brazil, "we are one of the few inverter manufacturers that can offer local production, so we are now much more predominant, as this is one of the requirements of the Brazilian authorities for the development of new energy projects".

The first converters, manufactured in Sesma (Navarre), will be installed in projects in Belgium, the United States and Spain. With these orders, Ingeteam reinforces its commitment to the green hydrogen sector.  Ingeteam has started manufacturing the first units of its new INGECON H2 C-lyzer converter in Sesma (Navarre), for the Green H2 sector. The first orders for green hydrogen converters will be installed in Belgium, California (USA) and Bizkaia (Spain). Ingeteam's INGECON H2 C-lyzer converters are responsible for supplying direct current so that electrolysers can separate the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The power and control electronics for electrolyser power supplies are therefore a key aspect in green hydrogen production via electrolysis, as the supply of power to an electrolyser has a major impact on its efficiency and degradation. For Harkaitz Ibaiondo, director of Ingeteam's green hydrogen business, "the fact that we have won these first three orders for different customers, in different countries and on different continents and in such a relatively short period, demonstrates the confidence that our technology has generated amongst our customers". These first orders reinforce Ingeteam's value proposition and its commitment to the green hydrogen sector, an industry with great growth potential where the company has much to contribute given its extensive experience in the field of power electronics applied to renewable energy generation.

Europe's largest green hydrogen production plant, located in Puertollano, Ciudad Real, is now operational. The project, developed by Iberdrola for Fertiberia, generates green hydrogen using a 20 MW electrolyser that separates hydrogen and oxygen molecules from water via electrolysis. Green hydrogen is the raw material for producing green ammonia, which in turn is used to manufacture low-carbon fertilisers. In addition, the project includes a 100 MW photovoltaic plant and a 5 MW/20 MWh battery energy storage system. Ingeteam was chosen by Iberdrola to be its technology partner for this battery system, which consists of a turnkey supply, where Ingeteam supplied the lithium-ion batteries integrated into 40-foot containers with water cooling and the battery converters integrated at the power stations with the remainder of the elements that are necessary for medium voltage connection. Ingeteam also conducted the on-site assembly of the storage system and its subsequent commissioning. José Antonio Unanue, director of Ingeteam's storage business, emphasised that "this is a highly significant project. A few weeks ago Iberdrola and Ingeteam were in the news for commissioning the first photovoltaic plant in Spain to incorporate batteries (the Campo Arañuelo project), and now additional progress has been made for plant hybridisation with the construction of a project in Puertollano that combines solar generation with battery energy storage supply an electrolyser to produce green hydrogen - also a strategic sector for Ingeteam". The battery system is used to store part of the photovoltaic energy generated during the daytime so that it can be used during the night. Thereby extending solar energy availability for the production of green hydrogen via electrolysis. The Puertollano project generates renewable hydrogen for the production of green ammonia and fertilisers by Fertiberia.

In the case of Euskadiko Orkestra, through this collaboration we have for many years been establishing a meeting point between the industrial company and the world of culture. The case of a symphony orchestra and its operation is one of the best examples of teamwork, which is also the basis of our way of working. The result is spectacular. As have been the different concerts conducted by the prestigious conductor Robert Treviño on this occasion in the performance of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 2, nicknamed "Resurrection", accompanied by two vocal soloists, the soprano, Sarah Fox, and the mezzo-soprano, Justina Gringyte, as well as the luxury of having the Orfeón Donostiarra and its many members on stage. A delight for our ears and eyes. The three auditoriums were filled with an audience totally devoted to the masterly performance. And they were attended by various representatives of the different institutions and business network of the Basque Country such as Bingen Zupiria, Minister of the Department of Culture and Linguistic Policy of the Basque Government, Iñigo Ansola, Director General of the Ente Vasco de Energía, Alberto Fernández, Director of Technology and Innovation of the Basque Government, Eneko Goia, Mayor of San Sebastian, Manuel Salaverria, President of the Basque Innovation Agency (Innobasque), Fernando Irigoyen, General Manager of Kutxabank, Pedro Esnaola and Javier Zubia, President and Director of the Gipuzkoa Chamber of Commerce respectively, among others. They were accompanied by the President of Ingeteam, Teresa Madariaga, the CEO of Ingeteam, Adolfo Rebollo and the Director of Corporate Development of Ingeteam, Alex Belaustegi. Video commemorating a decade of collaboration between Ingeteam and the Euskadiko Orkestra. ABOUT THE MUSICAL PIECE With this programme, the Euskadiko Orkestra rescues a work that had to be suspended when the pandemic began in 2020, and whose recovery acquires great symbolic value. It is Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 2, nicknamed "Resurrection", which took the Bohemian composer six years of work and which, in its hour and a half duration, traverses an extraordinary soundscape shaped by reflection on life and death. In it, Mahler also introduced for the first time the human voice and the ultraterrestrial theme, which will be central to much of his later symphonic output. Robert Treviño, who has enjoyed great success on international stages conducting Mahler, will be joined by two vocal soloists specialising in his music, soprano Sarah Fox and mezzo-soprano Justina Gringyte, and by a choir that has performed this symphony all over the world and has made it its calling card: the Orfeón Donostiarra.

The prototype 50 kW stack electrolyser was put into operation in 2012 with a 200 kW plant. Testing, which was conducted at the National Hydrogen Centre in Puertollano, Ciudad Real, focused on validating the electrolyser technology and developing control algorithms to optimise the efficiency and life of the electrolyser. Ageing tests and monitoring continue to be conducted 24/7, i.e. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at the National Hydrogen Centre. Ingeteam's technology is present in the very first electrolyser in Spain, which still produces hydrogen to this day. That electrolyser was developed between 2006 and 2012 at the Sarriguren innovation park (Navarre), in a project developed jointly by Ingeteam and Acciona Energía. Following project completion with the installation of the first 50 kW prototype at the National Hydrogen Centre, Ingeteam took time to reflect on what its value proposition in the green hydrogen sector should be, to ensure that its technology contributes to the decarbonisation of energy and to making hydrogen a truly clean energy vector. During electrolysis, the process conducted by the electrolyser, water molecules are split into hydrogen and oxygen by the supply of electrons. The power and control electronics for the supply of electric current are therefore key to the production of green hydrogen via electrolysis. The technology used to supply electrons into the water has a major impact on the efficiency and lifetime of the electrolyser. On the other hand, electrical conversion technology ensures the proper integration of a green hydrogen production plant into the electricity grid. Considering Ingeteam's extensive experience in power electronics for large renewable energy generation plants, at which the company already has 80 GW of grid-connected converters, and Ingeteam's presence and knowledge relating to more than ten electrical conversion applications, it is clear that Ingeteam's value proposition resides in its role as a strategic partner in power and control electronics technology for electrolyser manufacturers. Given that power and control electronics are one of the key electrolyser subsystems, Ingeteam’s Green H2 mission is to contribute with its electrical conversion technology to make green hydrogen competitive, and to facilitate the integration of large hydrogen production plants in grids with a high penetration of renewable energies. Harkaitz Ibaiondo, director of Ingeteam's green hydrogen business, stated that "at Ingeteam we are proud to have been pioneers, once again, in a technology that we developed and which is currently set to play a fundamental role in the decarbonisation of energy, such as the production of green hydrogen". In this regard, the executive added that "our extensive experience in the field of power electronics applied to renewable energy generation places us in a very good position to face this new challenge. Which, coupled with our in-depth knowledge of electrolyser technology and the technical requirements for powering it, makes us a leading player in this field, with a unique value proposition in the market". It is worth noting that Ingeteam is celebrating its 50th anniversary positioning itself as a key player in the energy transition.

Ingeteam has been selected as the technology partner to equip the largest energy storage system in Italy, which will also be one of the largest and most important systems in Europe and in the world. This battery system will have a power output of 70 MW and an installed capacity of 340 MWh. The project, which is to be installed in northern Italy, is set to start operating in 2023 and will serve to support the country's power grid. This concept is based on a market associated with the wholesale electricity market in which certain generators are paid to maintain energy in reserve in order to cover peaks in electricity demand. This project is a real landmark, given that it will offer an energy storage capacity that was almost inconceivable until a very short time ago. The development of this battery system will play a very significant role in the medium/long term with regard to grid support. Furthermore, it will be a key factor in the process for the decarbonization of Italy, as determined by the PNIEC (Piano Nazionale Integrato per l’Energia e il Clima), which was recently approved by the Italian government. In this respect, Stefano Domenicali, managing director of Ingeteam Italy, highlighted the fact that "this project in itself represents the energy transition towards a renewable energy-based model, in which energy storage plays a fundamental role. It is necessary to promote the transition to a new energy model decisively and ambitiously, and not only to achieve a clean energy model but also because renewables are the most competitive generating technology, as well as being the drivers of local employment and the only ones to ensure that each country can achieve energy independence". It is important to note that the power stations to be installed in this project are fully European in manufacture, as well as the integration of the batteries in containers. Ingeteam is thereby strengthening its facet as an integrator, given the fact that it will supply the lithium-ion batteries integrated in containers and the power stations that include, together with the converters and control solutions of the Ingeteam make, the additional elements required for medium voltage connection (transformer, switchgear and ancillary services). Moreover, Ingeteam will perform the field assembly of the storage system and its subsequent commissioning.  Ingeteam recently commissioned the Arañuelo III photovoltaic plant, the first large-scale PV plant in Spain to incorporate an energy storage system, comprising a 3MW / 9 MWh battery system in this case. As well as being the first large-scale solar plant in Spain to incorporate batteries, this project offered a further innovative feature with the inclusion of the battery storage system within the PV plant as a distributed system with a DC-Coupling configuration. In this mode, the batteries are installed within the solar array and the battery converters share the DC connection with the PV inverters. The role of energy storage Storage associated with renewable technologies plays a key role in progressing in the energy transition and in the electrification of the economy. Its integration in the power system of the future will provide important advantages such as the optimization and more flexible use of the energy available, improvement in the quality of the electricity supply, integration of the energy generated by renewable sources and ensuring the stability and reliability of the grid. The availability of energy storage systems makes it possible (among other things and as a more basic application) to store excess energy at times of high production and low demand, and to use the stored energy at times of insufficient production and high demand.  In this respect, Ingeteam is not limited to the supply of the power electronics, batteries and other associated equipment. Instead, it is a flexible and competitive technology partner, able to provide solutions to its customers' needs in all sectors and applications in which its customers are present, and at all the project development stages.  Ingeteam's scope of supply for the battery project in Italy: 59 battery containers, fully integrated with the ancillary systems for cooling, automatic fire detection and extinguishing, etc. Each container will have rated values of 2.88 MW / 5.76 MWh. 15 power stations fitted with all the necessary equipment to inject medium voltage power: inverters of the Ingeteam make, LV/MV transformer, medium voltage switchgear, auxiliary services transformer and auxiliary services switchgear. 59 INGECON® SUN STORAGE Power Series B battery inverters.

Previously, the hamlet only had access to electricity for 4 hours a day, but Ingeteam provided equipment and services to install a solar energy supply and storage system. The quality of life for the 750 inhabitants of Vila Restauração in the Amazon improved considerably, having transitioned from a mere 4 hours of electricity a day to an uninterrupted supply. Moreover, the energy they now have at their disposal is clean, as opposed to their previous reliance on a diesel generator unit. This R&D project was developed by Alsol Energias Renováveis ​​(Energisa Group company). The energy generation and storage system consist of four solar inverters with their respective solar panels; four storage inverters with their respective battery banks; two biodiesel generator units and low-voltage switchgear for microgrid automation and protection. System operation During the day photovoltaic power generation not only supplies electricity to the hamlet but also recharges the batteries that will come into operation later in the day. Therefore, during the night the hamlet is powered by the batteries charged during the day. What happens when it is cloudy? When it is cloudy, the battery charge is low and the photovoltaic system cannot provide enough energy to power the hamlet and recharge the batteries, at which point the generator unit is activated to provide the necessary energy to the hamlet and also charge the batteries. It should be noted that the entire operation of this microgrid, consisting of a generation system on the one hand and an energy storage system on the other, is automated. This enables systems to be created in which photovoltaic energy generation can be adjusted by varying microgrid frequency to avoid overloading battery banks and meet the demand of the hamlet's residents, thus achieving a balance between energy generation, consumption and storage Thu, 24 Mar 2022 08:10:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:3337 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/3333/language/en-US/Ingeteam-is-supplying-its-solar-inverters-for-two-Mercury-Renew-projects-in-Brazil-totaling-210-MWp.aspx#Comments 0 https://www.ingeteam.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=3366&ModuleID=3021&ArticleID=3333 https://www.ingeteam.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=3333&PortalID=1&TabID=3366 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/3333/language/en-US/Ingeteam-is-supplying-its-solar-inverters-for-two-Mercury-Renew-projects-in-Brazil-totaling-210-MWp.aspx   The supply is divided into two PV plants: Brígida (80 MWp) and Bon Nome (130 MWp).   The solar inverters were manufactured at Ingeteam's PV plant located in the state of São Paulo, and the medium voltage skids were also assembled in Brazil.   Ingeteam has already concluded the supply of 108 solar inverters made in Brazil and 32 substations or power stations also assembled in the country. The supply was directed at two PV projects from Mercury Renew, a Grupo Comerc Energia company. The Brígida 80 MWp solar plant, that has been operating since April last year and was inaugurated in July by the minister of Mines and Energy and the minister of Tourism. The Bon Norme 130 MWp solar plant has been commissioned now. Both plants are part of the same solar complex located in the state of Pernambuco.   For these photovoltaic projects, Ingeteam has supplied 32 power stations of the INGECON SUN MSK model. Each contains various solar inverters, power transformer, medium voltage switchgear, auxiliary services panel and auxiliary services transformer. José Nardi, the solar business unit manager at Ingeteam Brasil, emphasized that "these contracts, as well as being iconic projects for our subsidiary, are also great news for driving the industry and local Brazilian employment, given that we're the only solar inverter manufacturer to produce locally in the country".

The hub, which is located in Elche in southern Spain, at a site that is very close to Alicante airport, offers two charging stations, one in each direction of the highway and with a rated output power of 4MW. The stations comprise sixteen RAPID ST units with different output powers and offering the possibility of charging up to sixteen vehicles simultaneously. Four of the points permit charging at 400 kW, the highest power on the market, making it possible to fully charge a vehicle in approximately five minutes. The other twelve points have a charging range of up to 200 kW. What is more, this charging station is equipped with the new INGECON SUN STORAGE Power Series B. This is an AC/DC converter that generates a direct current bus for the RAPID ST, in other words, it converts alternating to direct current and the Ingeteam chargers are then responsible for adapting the voltage to each vehicle's specific requirements. Therefore, the sixteen charging points at the hub, including the 400 kW charger, which is the most powerful on the market, can achieve a total output power of 4MW.  Ingeteam is continuing to work towards its goal of achieving a more sustainable future, under the premise of obtaining zero emissions and aiming to create the best technology that will contribute to decarbonization and to the achievement of a more sustainable energy model.

Last year, the company supplied solar inverters for eleven PV plants with a rated power of 100 MW or more, one of which was Francisco Pizarro: Europe’s largest solar farm. Furthermore, Ingeteam signed 1.5 GW of O&M contracts for solar PV plants in 2021.   Ingeteam. February 21st, 2022. Ingeteam closed the year 2021 with good numbers despite the pandemic. The last year, the company supplied 4,229 MW to the solar and energy storage global markets. These numbers represent the best historical records of the company. Moreover, Ingeteam also signed 1.5 GW of operation and maintenance contracts for the solar PV sector. In 2021, the key markets in which the company has grown its solar business are Spain, Australia, USA, Brazil, Chile and Colombia. However, the products sold last year were supplied to 23 countries in all five continents. José Luis González, Sales Director of the Ingeteam Solar Photovoltaic Area, emphasised that "we expect to consolidate our position in the markets in which we are most active and well-established, yet without losing sight of any new opportunities that may arise in other countries with good growth prospects." The company has an extensive product portfolio, ranging from string inverters, directed at residential, commercial and industrial systems, up to central inverters, directed at large-scale plants rated at hundreds of megawatts. In fact, in 2021 Ingeteam supplied its PV inverters to eleven plants whose rated capacity is either equal to or greater than 100 MW. In this group of large-scale solar plants, particular mention should be made of Francisco Pizarro, Euope’s largest PV plant (590 MWp). Energy storage Energy storage is a key sector for Ingeteam, where the company has positioned itself for the considerable development expected in the short and medium term for systems of this type, both at a residential level and also on a large scale. In fact, Ingeteam markets its battery converters for both segments, and last year it supplied and was awarded contracts for a total of more than 400 MW / 1,000 MWh. Those supply contracts were principally signed for countries such as the United States, Spain, Australia, Chile and UK. Global leader in the provision of Operation & Maintenance Services Furthermore, the company has achieved a new annual record for maintained power, exceeding 18.5 GW of renewable power across the globe, of which 9.5 GW correspond to solar power in more than 570 PV plants. This means that Ingeteam is currently securing its global leadership position as an ISP (Independent Service Provider) of operation and maintenance services at energy generation plants.    Ingeteam by the numbers: +25 GW of solar and battery inverters +54 GW of wind converters +18.5 GW of O&M contracts for renewable energy plants   Mon, 21 Feb 2022 08:17:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:3319 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/3312/language/en-US/New-contract-in-Morocco-for-remote-control-units.aspx#Comments 0 https://www.ingeteam.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=3366&ModuleID=3021&ArticleID=3312 https://www.ingeteam.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=3312&PortalID=1&TabID=3366 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/3312/language/en-US/New-contract-in-Morocco-for-remote-control-units.aspx Ingeteam will contribute to the digitisation of the electricity grid in Morocco with a new contract for remote-control units for a project in Casablanca. These remote-control units are based on the INGESAS™ IC3 platform and will centralise all the substation’s alarms, statuses, and measurements, which can be displayed on any device thanks to its HTML5-based web server. INGESAS™ IC3 offers a complete solution for facility information management and delivery to higher levels, given its capacity to handle the most commonplace communication protocols without needing to add more modules, since these are included in the FW at the plant: IEC 61850 Client and Server IEC 61400 -25 Client and Server IEC 60870-5-101 Master and Slave ICE 60870-5-104 Client and Server IEC 60870-5-103 Master DNP 3.0 Master and Slave MODBUS RTU / TCP Master and Slave PROCOME Series and TCP Master Tue, 15 Feb 2022 10:00:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:3312 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/3295/language/en-US/Ingeteam-commissions-the-first-PV-plant-with-batteries-in-Spain.aspx#Comments 0 https://www.ingeteam.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=3366&ModuleID=3021&ArticleID=3295 https://www.ingeteam.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=3295&PortalID=1&TabID=3366 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/3295/language/en-US/Ingeteam-commissions-the-first-PV-plant-with-batteries-in-Spain.aspx This is also the first Spanish project in which Ingeteam has installed its new DC/DC converter, permitting a battery storage system with a distributed installation within the PV plant. The 40 MW Arañuelo III photovoltaic plant is now up and running. This is the first large-scale PV plant in Spain to incorporate an energy storage system, comprising in this case a 3MW / 9 MWh battery system. This solar plant is part of the Campo Arañuelo photovoltaic complex developed by Iberdrola in the district of Almaraz in Extremadura and formed by the Arañuelo I, II and III solar plants, with a total installed capacity of 143 MW. Ingeteam was the technology partner selected by Iberdrola to equip the Campo Arañuelo solar complex. In the case of Arañuelo plants I and II, the supply was the usual one for a PV plant: PV inverters, transformer stations, PPC (power plant controller) system and commissioning. The novelty of the project relates to Arañuelo III given that, in addition to all the above, Ingeteam also completed the turnkey supply of the energy storage system. In other words, Ingeteam supplied the lithium-ion batteries, the integration of the batteries in the 45-foot containers, the converters, the SCADA monitoring system, the civil work, the field assembly of the storage system and its subsequent commissioning. Furthermore, Ingeteam was also responsible for the supply of the digital protection and control system for the Arañuelo III substation. The scope of supply included the systems responsible for the protection and control of the line delivering power to the grid from the plant, the 30/132kV step-up transformer, the collector circuits and the connection circuit for the energy storage system, providing the renewable energy control centre (CORE) with real-time information and access to any of the elements. A new battery converter As well as being the first large-scale solar plant in Spain to incorporate batteries, this project offers a further novel feature with the inclusion of the battery storage system within the PV plant as a distributed system with a DC-Coupling configuration. In this mode, the batteries are installed within the solar array and the battery converters share the DC connection with the PV inverters, offering the following key technical advantages: Possibility of utilizing the extra power from the solar panels that is not used in the peak production hours (Clipping Recapture). This makes it possible to minimize the losses by charging the batteries from the PV array, given that the connection between the panels and the batteries only passes through the DC/DC converter. The discharge is also more efficient, due to the fact that no power transformer is required, in contrast to the AC connected solution. This novel technique to create a hybrid PV generation system with battery energy storage, was made possible thanks to the development by Ingeteam of a new battery converter: the DC-DC series of the INGECON SUN STORAGE Power family. This converter is coupled to the DC input of a PV inverter, thereby obtaining in practice a hybrid central inverter with a direct coupling to the solar panels and batteries alike and with a single AC output that is coupled to the LV/MV transformer. The Campo Arañuelo complex is already producing clean energy to supply a population equivalent to 65,000 homes a year and will prevent the release into the atmosphere of 41,000 tons of CO2 each year. Scope of supply for the Campo Arañuelo PV complex 29 power stations fitted with all the necessary equipment to inject medium voltage power: LV/MV transformer, medium voltage switchgear, auxiliary services transformer and auxiliary services switchgear. 72 units of the INGECON® SUN 1640TL B630 solar inverter with a rated power output of 1.64 MW. Two units of the INGECON® SUN STORAGE Power DC-DC battery inverter with a rated power output of 1.5 MW, for Arañuelo III. Two 45-foot, fully integrated battery containers, each for 1.5MW / 4.5MWh, for Arañuelo III. Three INGECON® SUN Plant Controller systems. Hybrid plant controller (solar + batteries) for Arañuelo III. SCADA monitoring system for Arañuelo III. Civil work and assembly of the storage system at Arañuelo III. Commissioning of the three photovoltaic plants and also the storage system at Arañuelo III.

Ingeteam has surpassed the 2GW figure of solar inverters supplied to the US.   Ingeteam is celebrating the ten-year anniversary of the completion of its US offices and production plant, located in Milwaukee, WI. Built on a former brownfield in the city’s Menomonee Valley, the LEED Gold certified building was completed in 2011 and has brought over 150 new jobs to the area.Since opening, over 3,000 new Indar brand wind turbine generators have been manufactured at the 114,000 sq. ft facility, and the company has supplied 2GW of solar inverters for the US market. During the past decade, the Service division has also been providing support to the different business units across the US and collaborating with wind and solar customers offering a wide variety of services: troubleshooting, commissioning, EOW inspections, QA/QC, blades services, training, preventive/corrective maintenance, up tower services, spare parts and full O&M services. Ingeteam's activity in renewables continues to increase in the US. In the state of California, Ingeteam has just supplied an energy storage project that aims to study whether distributed clean energy would offset the growing demand for electricity in the area. The battery inverters supplied by the company are capable of storing 20MWh for 4 hours. Also in California, Indar's Submersible Motors & Pumps Business Unit, belonging to the Ingeteam Group, has supplied a submersible motor pump to the Charles E. Meyer desalination plant that will carry high-sea water to 100,000 California households. The pumping system, installed on the seabed, ensures a 30% supply of drinking water to the city of Santa Barbara. Indar's experience in pumping solutions has also made it possible to solve the drought problem affecting Lake Mead, the largest artificial reservoir in the United States that supplies water to areas of Nevada, Arizona and California. In recent years, this reservoir has been affected by drought and its water level has reached historic lows. Thanks to the submersible pumps, installed at a depth of 40 meters, it has been possible to extract water from the deepest part of the lake. “We owe this milestone to the sound vision of our executive management, the support of local officials and economic development teams, and the dedication of our entire Ingeteam staff. Most importantly, we thank our customers who bestowed their trust in our company, its products and services”, said Nohra Nasr, Vice President and General Manager of Solar PV and BESS at Ingeteam Inc. Adolfo Rebollo, Chief Executive Officer – Ingeteam S.A. added, “Today, we contemplate our achievements with pride and motivation to continue our mission and objectives of upholding our status amongst the top pioneers in the renewable industry worldwide and in the US. We are fully committed to clean energy, and to job creation and manufacturing in the US. I am thankful to all who contributed to our successful deployment in the US. We feel home in Milwaukee.” Tue, 23 Nov 2021 10:32:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:3273 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/3269/language/en-US/Ingeteam-to-showcase-its-latest-onshore-and-offshore-wind-power-technologies-at-WindEurope-Electric-City-2021.aspx#Comments 0 https://www.ingeteam.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=3366&ModuleID=3021&ArticleID=3269 https://www.ingeteam.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=3269&PortalID=1&TabID=3366 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/3269/language/en-US/Ingeteam-to-showcase-its-latest-onshore-and-offshore-wind-power-technologies-at-WindEurope-Electric-City-2021.aspx Ingeteam to showcase its latest onshore and offshore wind power technologies at WindEurope Electric City 2021 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 09:30:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:3269 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/3268/language/en-US/Ingeteam-will-supply-four-Medium-Voltage-Variable-Speed-Drives-for-the-STM-VRM-Mills-of-a-Greenfield-Copper-Mine-in-Russia.aspx#Comments 0 https://www.ingeteam.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=3366&ModuleID=3021&ArticleID=3268 https://www.ingeteam.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=3268&PortalID=1&TabID=3366 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/3268/language/en-US/Ingeteam-will-supply-four-Medium-Voltage-Variable-Speed-Drives-for-the-STM-VRM-Mills-of-a-Greenfield-Copper-Mine-in-Russia.aspx In the second quarter of 2021, Ingeteam was awarded a contract for the delivery of four Water-Cooled, Medium Voltage Variable Speed Drives from the INGEDRIVE MV100 family, with a 24P DFE diode rectifier, 3 Level NPC Topology with HV IGBTs and dv/dt output filter. INGEDRIVE MV100 Medium-Voltage Variable Speed Drives will be installed at the Greenfield Copper Mine in Russia.  The Variable Speed Drives will be used to drive four VRM Mills, each with a power of 6.5 MW and a gross volume of 50’000 liter these will be the world’s most powerful Stirred Mills ever manufactured.
