Nuclear Fusion & the ITER Project by Alberto Loarte Nuclear fusion is the process by which stars produce energy. It involves the fusion of hydrogen nuclei to produce helium. This process transforms the mass of the nuclei into energy, according to the famous equation E=mc2, very efficiently —in fact, it is the most [...]
Advanced electrification for remote urban areas Microgrids are small-scale electrical systems that replicate large electrical systems; both, in the way they are managed and often also in the quality of the energy they generate. So, we differentiate between what at Norvento we call “microgrids” from the small isolated systems that have existed for [...]
Norvento tests an electrical generator prototype for offshore wind applications. Norvento has started the validation tests of the new electrical generator prototype specifically designed for offshore wind. A more efficient and smaller generator that allows the reduction of the size and weight of the turbines. The prototype is being tested in the [...]
Cinco pasos a seguir (¡desde abril!) para asegurar que las renovables cumplan parte del nuevo código de red En este artículo exploraremos a través de un ejemplo los cinco pasos a seguir para asegurar el cumplimiento de los requisitos de potencia reactiva que aplicarán una vez entre en vigor el nuevo P.O.12.2 [1]. [...]
PYROGAZ project. Expte: IN852A 2016/4 Proyecto Cofinanciado El proyecto PYROGAZ nace con el objetivo de diseñar y desarrollar un sistema de generación eléctrica y térmica a partir de la gasificación de biomasa, portátil y especialmente ideado para aplicaciones de energía distribuida. Este sistema es capaz de funcionar totalmente con biomasa local disponible [...]
Cheap and constant energy without visual impact from the shore Everyone is aware that the energy potential of wind blowing out at sea should be harnessed if we want a renewable future. Good locations inland with available wind resource are limited, and wind at sea is more constant and has much more laminal [...]
Norvento gets support to its internationalization process. To support our internationalization process, the company Norvento nED Factory got an incentive from IGAPE (Economic Promotion Institute of Galicia) within the Programme Galicia Exports Companies 2018, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund in its Programme Galicia 2014-2020 OT3 to improve the competence of companies. [...]
La conexión a red de generadores en el marco del Código de Red Europeo En el artículo previo, introducíamos el espíritu y la estructura del Código de Red (CdR) europeo y dábamos alguna pincelada sobre cómo condiciona la conexión a red de nuevos generadores plasmada en el Reglamento (UE) 2016/631 de la Comisión de [...]
Alternative ways of sustainable electrification Access to energy is a basic requirement to enable the growth of underdeveloped regions worldwide. Energy improves the safety, health, economy and intellectual development of those who have access to it. To get access to energy in a sustainable, inexpensive and environmentally safe way is a great challenge that [...]
Norvento leads the R&D project Microgrid-on-chip. Norvento leads the R&D project MICROGRID-ON-CHIP, battery inverter with integrated converter and microgrid control. The aim of the project is to develop a comprehensive solution to control hybrid microgrids. The solution is based in a battery converter with state-of-the-art semiconductors and a microgrid control system integrated in [...]
