Applications

Rising energy prices and limited fossil fuel resources make the requirement for alternative solutions in the field of electric power generation world-wide essential. At the same time, demand is increasing for energy, particularly in regions with high levels of industrial growth. The industrialised countries are also seeking to lessen their dependence on imports of oil, gas, coal and uranium.

Renewable Energies

These are the reasons why renewable energies are increasing in significance on the electricity market. They already contribute in many ways to the supply of energy and also make a significant contribution to climate protection. In particular, the diversity of useable raw materials guarantees the supply and contributes to the independence of states from fossil fuels. A further benefit: the plants and systems can be simply dismantled at the end of their service life and recycled.

Renewable energies are primarily native energy sources. An increase in their use boosts the regional contribution to value generation – an aspect which should not be neglected. These forms of energy contribute significantly to countries with underdeveloped infrastructure: large segments of the population are supplied with energy for example, by rural electrification.
Electricity generation from renewable energy sources – these are small, compact units which contrast with the large conventional power stations. This compact method of power generation is based on low-voltage technology.

Wind energy – Solar energy – Bioenergy – Photovoltaic

Moeller is ideally placed for renewable energies as a leading supplier of components and systems for energy distribution and automation. Our automation products already control and safely monitor many functions in systems and plants: For example, programmable logic controllers regulate photovoltaic power plants world-wide. In the field of power generation, such as wind energy plants, Moeller switchgear safely and reliably switches and protects the electrical power generation systems. Moeller contactors are also a guarantor for malfunction-free connection to the power grid.
Manufacturers, suppliers and installers of these systems already successfully use our products and put their trust in the proven and tested quality of Moeller products.
