ABB Energy Appraisals of industrial electric motors reveal potential 2.1 TWh lifetime savings

From June to September 2023, ABB analyzed more than 2,000 industrial electric motors under its Energy Appraisal service and has identified an average energy saving of 31 percent. That equates to more than 2.1 terawatt-hours (TWh) of potential energy savings across the 20-year lifetime of these systems. Energy appraisals enable industrial businesses to pinpoint exactly where their biggest energy savings lie across fleets of motor-driven systems. They overcome the barrier that industrial companies face when deciding where to target investment for the best energy savings and return on investment (ROI). Appraisals work by gathering operational data from motor-driven systems in the field. A service expert compares this with the theoretical performance that could be achieved by adding a variabl...

Havells Launches Dual Mode Micro Inverter with Four US Patents

Havells India Limited unveiled its revolutionary product – the Dual Mode Micro Inverter (DMMI), backed by four US patents. This innovation is set to transform the solar power industry by addressing key limitations associated with traditional inverters and microinverters. DMMI is equipped with an MPPT-based Solar Charge Controller, which efficiently converts DC current from solar panels into AC current. It is available in two models, DMMI-800 and DMMI-1600, these inverters can seamlessly transition between ON-Grid and Off-Grid modes, catering to various grid scenarios. Both DMMI models are compatible with all types of solar module technologies. Traditional solar inverters and microinverters are highly dependent on a reference grid voltage. In the event of a power cut, they become non-opera...
