The Challenge

As the world faces increasing environmental challenges, manufacturers across the world are turning to renewable energies to become more sustainable. Upgrading manufacturing plants and working towards a more environmentally aware future has never been more relevant.

When a Hong Kong-based water authority approached us to upgrade and install a renewable energy system; we knew this was a project we could not refuse.

The Solution

Total Automated Solution designed and built a full panel to local specifications. As required by the customer, a fully automated solution was integrated into the existing site infrastructure.

This included using a Mitsubishi A840 75kW Variable Speed Drive DC coupled to a Revcon Regen Unit and passive 75kw Harmonic filter.

All the mechanical equipment was specified and supplied from UK. Lastly, we used full UK functional witness testing to prove proof of concept.

The Results

The plant now generates energy, regardless of the site conditions at the turbine (from 1kW to 75kW).

There is a <3% harmonic distortion and a simple grid synchronisation. As the world continues to move into a new era of industrial sustainability, projects that harness the power of water will continue to grow and with our Drive Solutions Centre partnership, the team at Total Automated Solutions is ready to meet those challenges head on.
