Power & Renewable Energy

New Zealand Windfarms Project

Description: New Zealand Windfarms core business is involved with the development, operation and ownership of renewable energy windfarms throughout New Zealand. It was Innovative Energies goal in this project to assist NZ Windfarms continue to provide economic benefits to local NZ communities and assist in the efficient generation of electricity.

 

Innovative Energies Contribution: Innovative Energies supplied the battery backup equipment (DC UPS Systems) for the control equipment within the wind flow turbine. The blades power the turbines that generate power, with Innovative Energies designing, manufacturing and supplying the power supply systems to not only power the intricate electrical systems used within the turbine, but also the battery backup to ensure continuation of that supply during a loss of mains supply.

 

 

Description: Innovative Energies works with Vector, MainPower, Genesis and all other main electricity distribution companies throughout New Zealand, providing reticulated DC supply from 110 to 24 volts DC for their Scada remote terminal units.

 

Innovative Energies Contribution: These series of projects essentially involve the design, manufacture and supply of a common communication system for transmitting between substations and a control office. Innovative Energies own manufactured products are essential to this process, with 90% of power companies in NZ using our No-Break DC UPS systems.

 

Description: Innovative Energies teamed up with Abbey Systems, the prominent Wellington technology company, who were recently awarded a $6.1 million contract to supply equipment and software for monitoring and control of 34 substations in Chittagong, Bangladesh.

 

Innovative Energies Contribution: 

Utilising highly innovative New Zealand developed and manufactured technology, Abbey Systems has come up with a product which can compete internationally. Over 70% of the content will be NZ made products, included in this will be the Innovative Energies SR250C No-Break DC charger, used in a parallel redundant configuration with dual back up batteries.
