Alternative Energy
Advances in alternative energy have excelled in recent years as continued research looks to harness the energies of wind, tidal and wave. Mantracourt electronics have been used in range of innovative projects, including the torque measurement of water turbines. Our wireless technologies are also providing solutions in the monitoring of strain within wind power turbines.
The examples below show how our instruments are being utilised within Alternative Energy:
Monitoring Output of Solar Panels
A laboratory was required to monitor the output of a solar panel that would be used to charge a Lithium battery in a remote GPRS installation.
The Solution
To minimize...
Monitoring Wind Turbine Stresses with Wireless Solutions
The Problem:
An experimental wind turbine required 14 channels of strain measurement from 14 separate full Wheatstone bridges of 4 gauges. The gauges were positione...
Wireless Water Turbine Monitoring
The Problem:
An underwater turbine required two separate torque measurements but only needed to be monitored periodically. As the turbines were underwater and were rotat...
