News from generates 2007 include modules photovoltaic generation, advances in monitoring systems and new engines of cogeneration

Generates 2007, international fair on energy and environment, will be the setting for the presentation of the major developments in the energy sector between 28 days of February and 2 March in Hall 5 of the Feria de Madrid. An edit that, in parallel with the progressive sector development, has doubled its range of exhibition, with the participation of a total of 500 companies, direct and represented.

Most of the innovations you will see in the fair are in the sector of solar energy, which has been significantly driven following the adoption in March of last year of the technical building code by which all newly constructed buildings are required to incorporate solar panels. Manufacturers have invested their efforts in research in this field and will present the latest innovations in systems and technologies that allow for greater energy efficiency and promote savings. Interesting news as the application of the latest technologies to systems of monitoring, the use of more resistant materials balanced valves or the modernization of the generation and cogeneration engines will also be presented outside the field of solar energy.

Solar PST signature will exhibit at the Salon the only thermodynamic solar team that design can be installed in flats and apartments which have very small spaces. The flask with a capacity for 200 litres of hot water ready to be hung on the wall, which allows to take advantage of the space that is free below to place another appliance. In addition the solar panel that fuels the team is a very small sized and can work with indirect solar radiation, which also facilitates its placement in the building. In this way the company remedied the problem posed by the lack of space for any type of solar energy system installations.

Another important novelty is the advanced systems to monitor facilities. The wireless company has developed a new remote management system under the name of SenNet Solar, which captures the production parameters, temperature and radiation in photovoltaic sensors and manages alarms and images associated with Industrial monitoring devices. This information is transmitted via GSM/GPRS to a central server which authorized users can access on the Internet. In the same vein, Conergy will present the Sunreader system that automatically detects failures that may also lower performance communicating through alerts by sms, e-mail and/or fax. For its part, Diprotech-GreenPowerMonitor will show a comprehensive solution applicable to systems of photovoltaic, wind, and thermal energy which allows the customization in the parameters that you want to monitor through the server, manages facilities and alarms in real time and incorporates a wide range of displays for monitoring "in situ".

The enterprise applications plots Apollo has worked on the integration of the systems of solar collection in the architecture of the buildings and presented at the event his collectors of vacuum tube with aerospace technology that differ from those who are marketing currently on the market because of its high mechanical resistance. Its technology allows them to be used in areas with extreme temperatures and its direct tube can be placed in any position that your installation does not require any inclination, enabling their integration into the architectural structure. This company will also present some photovoltaic panels of double glazing, which can be integrated into skylights, skylights, Windows and façades, places where it is necessary to let pass the light of the Sun and at the same time to obtain production of electrical energy, respecting the aesthetics of buildings.

The SolarWorld AG Group, which has become one of the largest companies in the world following the purchase of the photovoltaic Division of Shell, will present among other products to solar orchards structures Sunfix made of aluminiumcompletely modular which adapt perfectly to the ground avoiding movements of Earth or other works of larger users. For its part Sigma has developed some solar panels of the latest technology that helps prevent overheating and offer protection against frost. They have longer life due to the thermal liquid SI-P90, which also allows the operation of the solar system at temperatures ranging from the-20 ° to + 165 Celsius.

At the fair of last generation photovoltaic modules will also be displayed. Solar panel will present its "photovoltaic module Gruposolar GS60156M" with an automated laminator which ensures maximum performance and Enerpoint for Thin Film Sharp, which reduces the use of Silicon. This last Exhibitor also represent at generates to the US firm Advent Solar, and will show in its name its new photovoltaic modules, whose strong point lies on the surface of the cell that is fully available, optimizing its efficiency and improve its aesthetics. The Soleos company has developed a monocrystalline modules whose technology is focused on achieving greater efficiency. Also, solar media will present the new follower solar Alter-S100, which allows to increase by 33% the production of any photovoltaic module with respect to a fixed installation. The Greek company Calpak has also focused its energy-saving technology with a new product called Calpak VTN. It's a sampler with tubes of vacuum and reflector parabolic CPC, capable of producing hot water all year round using little solar radiation.

As for the generation and co-generation solutions, GE Jenbacher Energy has developed its new models of J412S and J416S engines with improved power technology, high degree of precision combustion control, greater mechanical efficiency and flexibility in the use of fuels. MTU Friedrichshafen GMBH together with its distributor in Spain Casli will show its gas engine natural 8V4000L61 of the 4000 series as a module of co-generation of 750kWel as well as its new range of diesel engines for electric generation standard. Cofferdam is presented at the salon with its new range of valves of hydraulic balanced Oventrop that differ from traditional ones in that they endure temperatures up to 150 °, so are suitable for all heating and cooling systems. Batec Solar work has resulted in the innovative strip of copper absorbent proprietary CuStrip which has a corrosion-resistant surface and combines good performance with a flexible production in terms of length and height.

The international energy and environment fair will be held parallel to air conditioning, international exhibition of air conditioning, heating, ventilation and refrigeration - which will run from February 28 to March 3. The coincidence of both fairs responds to the existing synergies between the respective sectors and aims to capture the attention of all professionals involved in these areas.
