The company's next challenge is to complete the launch of its products on the international market where it already has important references in Europe and South America. A contribution to decarbonization and the energy transition to an increasingly more electrified society, underpin the activities of the Ingeteam Group. In order to achieve these objectives, the promotion of sustainable mobility in the company is a priority. Mikel Borrega, the Head of the Ingeteam EV charger business unit, reveals that "if the EV market continues with its present growth, we expect to have a 35% year-on-year increase in sales over the next three years". This, in turn, would result in a further increase in the already heavy investment made over the last four years, during which the number of employees in this business unit has grown threefold. Mikel added that "over the next three years, we would like to expand exports to 80% of our sales". Ingeteam's EV charging systems can currently be found in more than 20 countries. The latest countries to be added to the list are Portugal, Greece and the Ukraine, all from the European continent, a market targeted by Ingeteam over the last few years. Now Ingeteam is broadening its horizon to include the American continent, starting with the Latin American countries in which Ingeteam already has either branch offices or factories, such as Brazil, Mexico and Chile. Ultra-rapid charging Ingeteam is noted as a manufacturer of EV chargers for installation in public places, particularly the DC models, with the potential to deliver up to 400 kW. The most powerful charging station in Europe is equipped with four terminals manufactured by Ingeteam and is able to make an ultra-rapid charge of 400 kW. This makes it possible to charge a vehicle battery in five to ten minutes, similar to the normal time taken to refuel a vehicle. This ultra-rapid charger model is a real revolution in the large-scale charging installations sector, given that it offers the possibility to create large-scale charging installations (up to 1 MW), minimizing civil works and simplifying the installation and commissioning work. Furthermore, the integration of storage systems into the system and the provision of renewable energies is simple and easily manageable thanks to Ingeteam's experience in large-scale installations. As far as technology is concerned, Ingeteam has developed some extremely compact power electronics, making it possible to distribute the electronics in the energy dispensers. This brings a number of advantages such as a more compact, flexible system that is able to simplify future upgrades in order to increase the power or the number of dispensers. To date, Ingeteam has supplied more than 4,500 EV charging points, in both AC and DC, installed in countries such as Spain, Italy, South Africa, Mexico, Turkey, United Kingdom and Australia.   Thu, 10 Sep 2020 06:25:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:2621 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/2619/language/en-US/Ingeteam-offers-new-Single-VFD-Solutions-for-soft-starting-a-series-of-LNG-compressors.aspx#Comments 0 https://www.ingeteam.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=3366&ModuleID=3021&ArticleID=2619 https://www.ingeteam.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=2619&PortalID=1&TabID=3366 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/2619/language/en-US/Ingeteam-offers-new-Single-VFD-Solutions-for-soft-starting-a-series-of-LNG-compressors.aspx Due to the remote location, poor grid quality, and large inrush current associated with the direct on-line (DOL) connection of electrical motors, INGEDRIVE™ Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are becoming more commonly used as motor starters. By nature, a VFD is able to limit the inrush current being supplied to the motor to a minimal percentage of the rated current of the motor, allowing it to have a small impact on the grid upon starting, while also being able to start the unloaded compressor with the time window specified by the operator. This is something that soft-starters cannot accomplish, since they are not able to fully control the inrush current supplied to motor. Additionally, the VFD has the capability to vary the rotational speed of the motor by delivering a variable frequency output. This allows the system operator to operate at reduced levels during times when full load production is not desired Basis of Operation As per a project developed for a privately held midstream company in the United States, the operator sends the Start Motor #X command in order to start one of the LNG compressors, and the VFD closes the appropriate Variable Speed Contactor, connecting the output of the VFD with the unloaded motor that is to be started. The VFD will start the motor by gradually increasing the output frequency until it is spinning at the rated speed. Once the rated speed is achieved, the VFD will synchronize the output phases of the VFD with the grid. After the synchronization of the VFD Output and the Grid has been confirmed, the Full Speed Contactor will be closed. There is a momentary overlap when both the Variable Speed Contactor and the Full Speed Contactor are closed, making it a bump-less transfer involves negligible mechanical torque pulsations. Unlike some other VFD systems, we offer the possibility of using no additional output reactors on the output of the INGEDRIVE™ VFD to have a Closed or bump-less transfer since the sinusoidal output filter can be added as a standard feature in the VFD. Once the Full Speed Contactor has been closed, the transfer can be completed by opening the Variable Speed Contactor, leaving the electrical motor connected to the grid for full speed operation. This process can be repeated for all four of the motors. When the motor is to be stopped, the Full Speed Contactor is opened, allowing the motors to freewheel down to zero speed, or the Variable Speed Contactor can be reconnected for a controlled stop. Converter driven compressor soft-start diagram. INGEDRIVE™ Frequency Converters INGEDRIVE™ is available with powers up to 44 MVA, from 400 V to 690 V in low voltage and from 3 kV to 6.9 kV in medium voltage, offering a high level of performance and reliability together with a user-friendly interface.

This facility will supply sufficient power to meet the demand of all the homes in a city of the size of Bilbao for an hour.   Scottish Power Renewables, Iberdrola's subsidiary in the UK, has awarded Ingeteam the contract for the supply of the company's biggest ever ion-lithium battery storage system. The project will provide back-up for the UK's biggest on-shore wind farm at Whitelee near Glasgow. Its storage capacity will be 50 million Watt-hours, equivalent to the average hourly power consumption of 150,000 homes. Ingeteam is to supply the control system, the power converters and the ion-lithium batteries. The facility is intended mainly to expand the wind farm's ability to manage the energy delivered to the grid at all times.  With the type of storage system to be installed at the Whitelee wind farm, Iberdrola will be able to take part in the frequency regulation market of the UK national grid. It will also serve to assure supply capacity with an optimal balance of generation and consumption, and will enable the wind farm to be commissioned with its grid powered down and isolated from the main grid.   The plant is expected to come on line at the end of this year, with testing to ensure compliance with TSO grid code (UK electric system operator) due to be completed in the first quarter of 2021 The control systems and power converters covered by this agreement will be based on the Ingeteam Group's own in-house technology, and the order will be placed with the newly opened plant in Ortuella (Bizkaia). The system to be supplied by Ingeteam is similar to a laptop battery, though a million times bigger. It enables energy to flow both ways between the grid and the battery. The control system and power converters ensure that the battery charges and discharges properly. During troughs in demand for power from households and industry the wind farm can continue producing electricity at peak capacity, and the surplus clean energy generated can be stored in the battery. When demand is lower than the peak generation capacity of the turbines at the wind farm in existing wind conditions, the opportunity to generate clean energy is not lost. Surplus energy is stored in the battery. When energy demand exceeds clean generation capacity in existing wind conditions, the plant can make up the shortfall by feeding in energy from its batteries to supplement that produced by the turbines. Electricity is generated as A/C and must be converted to D/C to be charged into the ion-lithium battery, where it is actually stored in the form of chemical energy. When demand from consumers for electricity increases, the control system sends a command to the power converter to draw energy to meet excess demand from the battery and deliver it to the grid. It takes just a fraction of a second to "connect the battery", draw energy from the D/C battery and convert it properly to A/C for input into the high-voltage grid, where it is added to the energy generated by the wind turbines. Iberdrola is working with partners such as Ingeteam on its move into renewables, smart grids, large-scale storage systems and other aspects of the new energy model, such as electric mobility. This agreement joins another which was signed recently for the supply of inverters for the Francisco Pizarro plant, which is to be Europe's biggest PV plant and Iberdrola's biggest plant of any kind anywhere in the world. Further agreements have also been reached in recent months for inverters to be incorporated into PV construction projects in Spain and Mexico. Ingeteam continues to focus on technological development, investing over €30 milli8on per year in R&D. This has enabled the group to develop the technology needed to provide quotes which are highly competitive in both technical and financial terms. The success of this modus operandi can be seen in the confidence shown in the group by major global customers such as Iberdrola.  Tue, 14 Jul 2020 05:00:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:2597 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/2592/language/en-US/Ingeteams-advanced-simulation-models-to-ease-wind-power-grid-integration.aspx#Comments 0 https://www.ingeteam.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=3366&ModuleID=3021&ArticleID=2592 https://www.ingeteam.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=2592&PortalID=1&TabID=3366 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/2592/language/en-US/Ingeteams-advanced-simulation-models-to-ease-wind-power-grid-integration.aspx Ingeteam, a global technology Group specialized in electric power conversion, presented today its advanced simulation models developed to address the complex grid stability and connectivity issues that come with the integration of wind power into global electricity transport infrastructures.

It is a web application that provides Business Intelligence tools with the aim of improving the efficiency of the management of the life cycle of the assets. It allows reducing the operation and maintenance costs of any renewable installation, based mainly on: Maintenance analysis with specific indicators such as MTBF, MTTR, monitoring of spare parts consumption, failure rates, troubleshooting, etc. Operational analysis through events tracking Economic analysis by monitoring budgets, market conditions, availability, etc. INGEBOARDS is completely modular and configurable according to the needs and requirements of the customer. It allows integrating any source of information (SCADA, SAP, CMMS (CMMS), maintenance reports, etc.) with the aim of reusing tools already implemented in the management of the installation. The company (CMI) has a renewable energy generation business unit with a total installed capacity of 741 MW, divided into 317 MW of hydroelectric energy, 324 MW of wind energy and 100 MW of photovoltaic energy, located in Central America and the Caribbean. All this power will be integrated into the INGEBOARDS application, allowing the monitoring, analysis and automatic generation of reports and status tracking meters of wind, photovoltaic and hydro assets. It has different sources of information, like: SCADA data (energy storage systems and solutions), which can also be supplied by Ingeteam. Data from CMMS (maintenance management software), in particular from SAP and Infor EAM. Predictive data, including the integration of data from the vibration equipment they have in their wind turbines. The implementation phase of the application is already underway and it will be fully operational in less than six months. By then, they will be able to begin optimizing the performance and costs associated with these renewable energy facilities. Progresses in both technology and current processors make it possible to work with data in previously unproductive or directly unfeasible ways. Taking this into account, Ingeteam's R&D department is developing machine learning models in order to make data much more useful and in order to extract much more value from them. Ingeteam is currently focusing this development on several projects in which the lines of research range from automatic process optimisation, error classification, image processing to natural language processing in operations, predictive detection of anomalies and component life estimation; the last two being the ones in which the greatest depth and development has been achieved. Once the models have been developed for each of the problems that arise, the Ingeboards platform allows them to be integrated into the processes so that they are useful on a day-to-day basis, as well as allowing the models to be retrained automatically to obtain a constant improvement in them.

Grayson Thermal Systems has been working with a French battery manufacturer on the development of a battery thermal management system or, BTMS for the railway industry.  The target application is a hybrid (full-electric via pantograph, diesel-electric, battery-electric) regional train due to enter service in the south of France in late 2021/early 2022. Grayson Thermal Systems is expected to deliver in the region of 200 BTMS for the project.  The BTMS ensures that the battery, based on Lithium Ion technology is maintained at optimum temperature at all operating ambient conditions and operating modes of the temperature.  It achieves this by providing electric heating and refrigerant cooling to the water jacket the circulates inside the battery. An integrated water pump designed by Grayson provides the water flow for the battery.  The Ingeteam INGESYS IC2 controller manages the entire BTMS internal operation and the external communications with the battery management system via CAN.  The INGESYS IC2 controller receives a target temperature from the battery via CAN and turns on either electric heating or the cooling system and controls the pump speed in order to maintain the demanded temperature.  The INGESYS IC2 also maintains a diagnostics log and provides an interface for end-user commissioning and fault finding in the field via its built-in web server.  Grayson Thermal Systems chose the INGESYS IC2 because it is fully rail compliant and has a proven track record in similar applications. Another important factor in the selection of the INGESYS IC2 is the responsive and high level of technical and commercial support provided by Ingeteam.  Information provided by "Grayson Thermal Systems" Thu, 07 May 2020 08:44:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:2572 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/2574/language/en-US/New-EN501552017-certification-for-INGESYS-IC2-controller.aspx#Comments 0 https://www.ingeteam.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=3366&ModuleID=3021&ArticleID=2574 https://www.ingeteam.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=2574&PortalID=1&TabID=3366 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/2574/language/en-US/New-EN501552017-certification-for-INGESYS-IC2-controller.aspx Recently, the certification tests of new INGESYS IC2 controller modules, compliant with the new 2017 edition of the EN50155 standard, were successfully completed.

With this expansion, the company has consolidated its global position with its presence in 23 countries. The branch, based in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, is initially directed at the solar PV and energy storage business, due to the good positioning of Ingeteam in the sector. The United Arab Emirates currently boasts the world's largest solar PV plant with a single connection point, with an installed power of 1,177.36 MW. This plant, named Noor Abu Dhabi, is located in the town of Sweihan and is equipped with Ingeteam PV inverters and Inverter Stations, supplied as a centralized turnkey solution for medium voltage power conversion. Ingeteam has also supplied its power conversion system (PCS) to this country for a pilot project in Dubai, representing the first energy storage system in the United Arab Emirates to be coupled to a large-scale PV plant. This battery system is part of the largest solar complex in the world: the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum solar park. Ingeteam's branch already has a sales department and after-sales service that covers the entire Middle East as well as North Africa. With this opening, Ingeteam is consolidating its dominant position as a supplier of power converters and provider of operation and maintenance services for renewable energy generation plants in the MENA area, where the company has already supplied more than 1,800 MW.

The Xuan Thien Thuan Bac PV project is the largest one that Ingeteam has supplied to date for the solar sector in Southeast Asia. The company's supply comprised forty 5 MW Inverter Stations, two 3.4 MW Inverter Stations, 220 kV plant substation, string combiner boxes, SCADA system and the PPC (Power Plant Controller). In total, this photovoltaic project, located in the province of Ninh Thuan, has an installed power of 240 MWp. This is the first order that Ingeteam has received from the Xuan Thien group in Vietnam which, up to now, had focussed its activities on the construction of hydropower plants. The Inverter Station made by Ingeteam is a turnkey solution comprising the PV inverters and all the low and medium voltage equipment, all supplied ready for immediate field connection. Ingeteam has also developed the transmission substation for the Xuan Thien Thuan Bac PV plant with a 220-kV output, and the protection, supervision and communication systems, as well as the EVN interface and the plant control system (PPC). In 2019, Vietnam has positioned itself as the market reference in Southeast Asia's solar sector, given that it will close the year with 5.5 GW of installed PV power, which is almost half of all the power that has been installed this year in this region. This boost to solar energy goes hand in hand with the minimum price guaranteed by the government in the form of a feed-in tariff. The Xuan Thien Thuan Bac PV plant, which is set to be connected at the end of January 2020, will avoid the emission into the atmosphere of 28,000 tons of CO2 per annum.

In this context, we're launching our new ¨LET´S GO SAFETY – LET´S BE HEALTHY" campaign, highlighting the importance given by Ingeteam to its Leadership and Commitment to Health & Safety as well as to emphasise that we give priority to Health and Safety at work and at home. The company is working towards implementing a preventive culture that is increasingly deeper and more internalised for all our workforce. A culture that leads to a greater awareness of risks, increased risk prevention, mutual support between colleagues and teamwork. The campaing is to be implemented on a worldwide scale and is directed at the company's more than 3,900 employees in its 21 subsidiaries. Business outside Spain continues to be the cornerstone of the Group's activity, taking into account the fact that 90% of Ingeteam's products, projects and services are exported to the rest of the world.   Let’s Go Let’s Go Safety Fri, 20 Dec 2019 08:59:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:2502 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/2477/language/en-US/Ingeteam-inaugurates-new-plant-in-Spain.aspx#Comments 0 https://www.ingeteam.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=3366&ModuleID=3021&ArticleID=2477 https://www.ingeteam.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=2477&PortalID=1&TabID=3366 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/2477/language/en-US/Ingeteam-inaugurates-new-plant-in-Spain.aspx This morning Ingeteam has inaugurated a power electronics and control equipment manufacturing plant in Bizkaia (Spain). The plant is to manufacture power converters to be used in the railway traction, mining, shipbuilding and steel industries, in power generation, in electricity grids and in power storage. It features a 5,500 m2 factory floor plus 1,000 m2 of office space, and is manned by 70 workers who manufacture power converters: handling supply chain management, industrialisation, manufacturing and quality control. The facilities have a test bench for both routine testing of finished products and testing of prototypes.  Power converters are key items of electronic equipment in systems that connect to rotating electrical equipment (generators and motors) and to the power grid. They help increase efficiency and controllability in various processes such as electric rail traction systems, hybrid and/or electrical propulsion for ships, the grinding of ore and the production of steel. They are also highly useful in power grids, enabling renewable energy to be stored and made available to consumers when required and thus increasing efficiency; or regulating frequency and thus preventing power outages in increasingly smart complex grids. They are key equipment in the effort to achieve decarbonisation and contribute in the transition to sustainability in energy. Both approaches form an active part of the current strategic plan of the Ingeteam Group.    International Leadership At the end of financial year 2019 the Ingeteam group recorded turnover of €637 million. This is 46% more than at the start of the 2016-2018 strategic plan, thus consolidating the group's position of international leadership in the fields in which it operates. The level of internationalisation of Ingeteam's products and services is evidenced by the fact that it does 82% of its business abroad.

Specifically, the INGECON® SUN STORAGE 1Play inverter and the POWERCUBE X1/X2 and FORCE H1/H2 batteries were tested. The use of Ingeteam's hybrid inverter together with Pylontech's batteries makes it possible to create hybrid systems that combine PV power generation with energy storage, with no need to add additional PV inverters. Furthermore, it is also possible to create stand-alone systems and to operate in self-consumption mode or back-up (UPS) mode. Thus, for grid-connected systems, the solar energy generated during the day can be stored for night-time consumption, giving the highest possible self-consumption ratios and, thanks to the possibility of operating in backup mode (UPS), the power supply is maintained in the event of a grid outage. The Ingeteam inverter permits the connection of a PV array and also a battery bank to the same unit, thereby reducing the cost of the system as a whole. This 3 or 6 kW single-phase transformerless inverter has been designed for use in residential and business installations alike. For its part, the Pylontech lithium-iron phosphate (LiFePO4) HV batteries cover a voltage range from 90 to 315 V and offer a capacity from 7 to 24.5 kWh. This is thanks to a modular system that offers maximum flexibility in order to make the greatest use of the energy in the system.

Of this figure, more than one fifth corresponds to solar projects coming under the Distributed Generation by Small Power Producers (PMGD) scheme, which supports the execution of generation projects with a rated power of up to 9 MW. Distributed generation is an ongoing trend in Chile and in many other countries. In 2015, distributed generation accounted for one quarter of global investment in renewables. To promote the construction of projects of this type, the PMGD scheme gives PV plant owners the guarantee that all the energy produced can be fed into the power grid. Moreover, the National Energy Commission (CNE) allows these producers to choose between the sale of energy at either a marginal cost or stabilized price. In this latter case, producers are guaranteed stable prices that are higher than market prices, given the fact that these prices are calculated every six months by the CNE and are not subject to time-of-day variations. Ingeteam entered the Chilean market just six years ago and, since then, it has passed the gigawatt mark. Moreover, thanks to the supply of equipment for these latest projects, Ingeteam has reached a total power of 215 MW at plants coming under the PMGD scheme in Chile, a country in which this Spanish company has a portfolio of upcoming projects and holds an extremely good position in the PV inverter manufacturer ranking. Over the last three years, Ingeteam has delivered its PV inverters to twenty-four solar schemes of this type and it is currently supplying four of its Inverter Stations featuring 1500V technology to two more solar plants in Chile. In order to guarantee the correct operation of the electricity system, the PMGD must implement some minimum electrical protection safeguards at the coupling switch. These functions are performed by Ingeteam's PL70SV, which is now operating in more than 20 installations of this type. Ingeteam has supplied control and protection systems to the Chilean market for the grid connection of more than 1,100 MW of non-conventional renewable energy to more than two hundred installations, wind power and PV power alike. Furthermore, Ingeteam has also secured its position as a leader in the operation and maintenance (O&M) of renewable energy generation plants. In Latin America, the company provides maintenance services to a total of 3 GW, of which 980 MW correspond to Chile, accounting for 25% of the country's total installed renewable power. In the solar sector in Chile, Ingeteam maintains a total of 370 MW. This record figure was primarily achieved thanks to the presence of Ingeteam in the Atacama desert.

The Cogniplant project develops an innovative approach to the advanced digitalisation and smart management of industrial processes using a new approximation based on data analysis and monitoring tools. The idea is to take advantage of the latest developments in advanced analytics and cognitive reasoning to improve the operational throughput of production plants, with a disruptive use of the digital twin concept (virtual replicas of objects or processes that simulate the behaviour of their real counterparts). The aim of the project is to advance towards a real Industry 4.0. Thanks to the new solutions being tested, improvement ratios of up to 68% will be achieved in controlling the production environment in realtime; 65% in the quality control of finished products, and 70% in the response time in the event of unforeseen or uncontrolled incidents. This concept will be initially implemented by four end users from different SPIRE industries (Sustainable Process Industry through Resource and Energy Efficiency):  a chemical plant in Austria, an aluminium refinery in Ireland, a manufacturing industry in Italy and a steelmaking industry in Spain. Ingeteam will work on the concept of a new IOT embedded device which responds to the paradigms of INDUSTRY 4.0: Edge processing using model-based design New communication protocols and distributed I/Os which enable data to be acquired in real time and managed strictly in real time High-performance digital processing based on shared processing between a microprocessor and FPGA The Cogniplant solution will provide hierarchical monitoring and control in terms of supervising operations to obtain an overall view of both the production throughput of each of the plants and energy consumption and resources.  (*) The company consortium involved in the Cogniplant project is composed of the following companies: Ibermatica SA, Idekos Coop, Technische Universitaet Muenchen Ingeteam Power Technology SA, Hermes Schleifmittel Ges.M.B.H., Savvy Data Systems SL, Software Competence Center Hagenberg gmbh Logpickr, Mr. Nec B.V., Stam srl, Fornaci Calce Grigolin SPA, Core Innovation and Technology OE, Aughinish Alumina Ltd and Acería de Álava, S.A.

The company, which recently expanded this new facility, continues to implement its growth plans in the Indian wind energy sector. Ingeteam established its new cutting-edge Indian facility in autumn last year in the vicinity of Chennai to satisfy the demand for wind power converters and control cabinets from both local and international OEMs. In response to positive trends in both the domestic and global markets, the 3,500 m² production facility has recently been expanded by 40% to reach 4,900 m². Similarly, Ingeteam has tripled the staff headcount to reach 82 employees, and introduced three additional products to its local production range in the past year. “Agility is at the core of Ingeteam’s production strategy. Our Chennai wind facility has been built on a modular design, which allows us to rapidly ramp production up or down according to ever-changing market conditions. This flexibility plays a big role in ensuring that our production centre remains both highly efficient and cost-effective”, commented Josep García, Plant Director of Ingeteam Chennai. In 2018, Ingeteam’s technology was deployed on 15% of the newly added wind capacity in India and will reach 1GW of production output by this month. “I am very proud of my team, and grateful to our key suppliers for their professionalism. Reaching a production output of 1GW within the very first year is no small feat. Year after year, we confirm our leadership role in this promising market”, concluded Josep García. Ingeteam is the world number one independent converter supplier for wind applications, with more than 45GW installed capacity to date. The company, which has a strong focus on emerging markets, entered the Indian solar PV sector in 2013, with a central office in Delhi. In 2016, Ingeteam experienced significant activity in the wind energy industry. Just two years later, Ingeteam was one of the first global industrial groups to massively invest in the then burgeoning Indian wind energy sector with its new factory in Chennai.

The goal of the agreement signed today in Bilbao is to support Ingeteam's research, development and innovation (RDI) programme focused on developing new solutions to meet the needs of the energy transition. The project, signed today in Bilbao, is backed by the Juncker Plan's European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI). The EU bank financing will enable this Spanish company to become more competitive in the renewable energy applications segment and to internationalise its business, offering state-of-the-art technologies for more sustainable energy generation, transmission, distribution and use. In concrete terms, these RDI investments will help develop new solutions for energy storage, electric mobility, offshore wind power and industry 4.0. All of this will contribute to developing more efficient, less energy-intensive production processes and cutting polluting emissions. The investments will be implemented from this year up until 2022 at the company's plants in the Basque Country, Navarra and Albacete. Ingeteam will benefit from the favourable conditions of EIB financing in terms of both long maturity periods and interest rates thanks to the Investment Plan for Europe, or Juncker Plan, which enables this EIB to offer increased support for investments fostering innovation, economic growth and jobs. This project will help secure the jobs of the company's almost 4,000 employees. Speaking about the agreement, EIB Vice-President Emma Navarro, who is responsible for the Bank's activities in Spain, highlighted “the need to support investments in innovation that facilitate the transition to a low-carbon economy to promote climate action and create wealth and jobs. Financing clean projects like this is a great example of the EIB's priorities and is another step forward in the consolidation of its role as the EU's climate bank. To this end we are happy to assist this Spanish company that – thanks to this project – will be able to become more competitive and help lead the European technology industry sustainably.” Miguel Arias Cañete, European Commissioner responsible for Climate Action and Energy, said: “We need companies like Ingeteam to keep developing new ways to help industry meet our climate objectives. I am proud that a Spanish company is at the forefront of this innovative research and development, and that the EU, via the EIB and the Juncker Plan, is providing financial support.” Financing innovation An EIB Innovation Loan supports research and innovation (RDI) in EU priority areas to address social and economic challenges of today and tomorrow. EIB financing is supporting investments in RDI that strengthen Europe's long-term competitiveness, promote knowledge diffusion, drive economic growth and create jobs. With an EIB Innovation Loan, companies can benefit from long tenors and flexible conditions matching the longer and uncertain payback periods of RDI. The Innovation Loan is subject to a technical viability and quality assessment by the Bank’s Projects department, which has years of broad expertise in assessing RDI programmes across a multitude of sectors and company sizes, in the EU and worldwide. The EIB and climate action The EIB is among the multilateral institutions providing the most finance for climate action worldwide. The Bank's goal is to be a leader in mobilising the finance needed to keep global warming to under 2 ˚C and limit temperature rises to 1.5 ˚C to meet the Paris Agreement objectives. At September's Climate Action Summit in New York, the EIB Group announced that it intends to expand its climate action, gradually increasing the financing it dedicates to climate and environmental objectives to 50% of its activity by 2025 and mobilising up to EUR 1tn by 2030 to support investments helping to achieve these goals. It also announced its intention to align all EIB Group activities with the Paris Agreement. The European Investment Bank (ElB) is the long-term lending institution of the European Union owned by its Member States. It makes long-term finance available for sound investment in order to contribute towards EU policy objectives. The Investment Plan for Europe, known as the Juncker Plan, is one of the European Commission’s top priorities. It focuses on boosting investment to generate jobs and growth by making smarter use of financial resources, removing obstacles to investment, and providing visibility and technical assistance to investment projects. The European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) is the main pillar of the Juncker Plan and provides first loss guarantees, enabling the EIB to invest in more projects that often come with greater risks. EFSI has already yielded tangible results. The projects and agreements approved for financing under EFSI are expected to mobilise more than EUR 433.2bn in investment (including more than EUR 46.7bn in Spain) and support some 972 000 SMEs in the 28 EU Member States.

The scope of works had been related to engineering, supply and commissioning of the new-generation frequency converters INGEDRIVE LV400 for regulation of the propulsion motors manufactured by INDAR, combined with a new propulsion control system INGESHIP PCS based on a last generation PLC. The vessel was built in 2000 and since then it has carried out more than 100 research campaigns. With an overall length of 53 meters and the width of 13 meters, it continues to be one of the most sophisticated research vessels in the world. Its dynamic positioning system allows it to remain absolutely still without moving its position, despite adverse meteorological conditions. Its special design and diesel-electric propulsion system guarantees silent maneuvering, allowing the gathering of acoustic data without vibration or noise. We thank ACSM shipyard for trusting in Ingeteam and we are looking forward to working together on upcoming projects!   Tue, 15 Oct 2019 07:44:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:2438 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/2436/language/en-US/Ingeteam-presenta-al-mercato-il-nuovo-inverter-di-stringa-con-tecnologia-a-1500-Vdc.aspx#Comments 0 https://www.ingeteam.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=3366&ModuleID=3021&ArticleID=2436 https://www.ingeteam.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=2436&PortalID=1&TabID=3366 https://www.ingeteam.com/it/Redazione/tabid/3366/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/2436/language/en-US/Ingeteam-presenta-al-mercato-il-nuovo-inverter-di-stringa-con-tecnologia-a-1500-Vdc.aspx   È già iniziata la produzione in serie, con un ordine di 200 pezzi per il Brasile. Ingeteam ultima il lancio al mercato del suo nuovo inverter fotovoltaico di stringa INGECON® SUN 160TL, che permetterà di raggiungere una potenza di 160 kWAC in un’unica unità da 75 Kg. Questo inverter, che è già stato fisicamente presentato in diverse fiere nazionali ed internazionali, è già in produzione grazie ad un ordine di duecento pezzi per il mercato brasiliano. Questo nuovo inverter trifase, che utilizza tecnologia a 1.500 Vdc, è adatto sia per installazioni Indoor che Outdoor, e viene principalmente utilizzato per progetti multi-megawatt, ovvero, grandi impianti fotovoltaici. Oltre alla sua elevata densità di potenza, tra le sue grandi prestazioni sono inclusi l’elevato indice di efficienza massima (99,1%), le comunicazioni Wi-Fi, Ethernet e PLC (power line communication) integrate di serie e le sue funzionalità avanzate di supporto alla rete, in quanto gestisce cali di tensione ed è in grado di immettere potenza reattiva. Un altro dei suoi principali vantaggi rispetto agli altri prodotti sul mercato si basa sul significativo risparmio nei costi che consente, poiché la sua elevata densità di potenza permette di ridurre drasticamente il numero di inverter da installare e, quindi, la quantità totale di cavi. Inoltre, non richiede cassette stringa (né in DC né in AC), né un cavo neutro, pertanto consente di ridurre fino al 20% il costo totale del cablaggio in AC. Tutto ciò consente una notevole riduzione dei costi in conto capitale (CAPEX: Spese in conto capitale). Utilizzando questo inverter, vengono ridotti anche i costi operativi, perché grazie alla comunicazione Wi-Fi integrata di serie, il sistema fotovoltaico può essere messo in servizio, monitorato e controllato tramite un telefono cellulare, un tablet o un laptop. Inoltre, la sua filosofia di inverter di stringa garantisce la minima manutenzione possibile, poiché non è necessario aspirare la parte interna o controllare lo stato dei fusibili, né del sezionatore magneto-termico né della coppia di serraggio. Questo inverter fotovoltaico viene offerto in due versioni differenti (STD e PRO), per cercare di adattarsi alle esigenze dei suoi clienti e ai requisiti tecnici del maggior numero possibile di progetti. Le nuove apparecchiature Ingeteam sono integrate nella famiglia INGECON® SUN 3Play, che finora aveva una potenza compresa tra 20 e 110 kW e che ha inverter fotovoltaici installati in oltre quindici paesi nel mondo.   Mon, 14 Oct 2019 10:21:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:2436
