Renewable Energy in Motion
The renewable energy market is evolving. As the dependence is laid more heavily on alternative energy the technology and innovative nature of these solutions also needs to evolve.
>By introducing motion and control solutions into the renewable energy market companies are able to maximise benefits and produce a higher yield of energy. Electric linear actuators can be integrated into solar, wind and biomass solutions. The introduction of electric linear actuators provides numerous benefits including:
>Solar
>
- Controlling the orientation of solar tracking systems ensuring optimum sun exposure
- Embedded MODBUS for ease of control and reduction in cabling
- A robust and weather tight design increases reliability
>Wind Turbines
>
- Control locking mechanisms for the turbine wings
- Enhance the ventilation within a turbine
- To control the turbine break
- Improved access for ease of servicing
>Biomass
>
- Automate the boiler hatch for safe refuelling and emptying
>LINAK provide their actuators assisting many manufacturers within the renewable energy sector, from small bespoke applications to large scale production. LINAK actuators are chosen for their high quality and wide range of products backed up by their customer service. LINAK actuators and service is flexible giving the right product and aftercare expected from a world leader in manufacturing and providing linear actuator solutions. LINAK recently built their own solar park producing energy to be consumed by their own manufacturing plant.
