The availability of a variety of energy technologies, including solar, wind, steam and battery energy storage solutions, allows customers to consider various hybrid energy options to meet their sustainability goals, says WEG Africa CEO Eduardo Werninghaus.

The company recently showcased its range of sustainability and hybrid power solutions at the Electra Mining Africa exhibition where it highlighted its latest technology and its ability to partner with engineering, procurement and construction management companies and mines to drive down carbon emissions.

In the field of solar power, WEG offers a portfolio of products for all stages of PV solar generation projects, with solutions for energy conversion and internal distribution systems. These are formulated to cover all aspects from the plant to the point of connection with the electrical system, through high voltage substations.

WEG notes that the focus on clean energy is also driving the expansion of biofuel production, making steam power increasingly relevant to the local economy. The company has recently supplied turbogenerator solutions in Brazil where it has supplied systems that will add 140 MW of clean energy to that country’s capacity.

“Our WEG W23 Sync+ electric motors are the most complete line of high efficiency units, with exceptional efficiency regardless of speed or load variations,” says Werninghaus.

These motors can deliver energy savings of up to 30% in comparison to conventional IE3 induction motors using frequency inverters. Werninghaus also points to the technology employed in WEG’s frequency inverters, allowing speed variation in three-phase induction motors.

The company has also developed its WEGSEE+ platform for calculating potential energy savings and quantifying the impact of sustainability initiatives, allowing customers to predict the potential savings achievable by replacing motors, gearboxes and inverters.
