MARINE APPLICATIONS

MarineLog Magazine
featured news of the installation of a 320kW fuel cell for power generation aboard the Viking Lady, a 5,900 metric ton offshore supply vessel.  The first fuel cell of that size in a commercial vessel marks a turning point in clean power feneration aboard large, ocean-going vessels.

Scientific American later published a more detailed article once the ship had completed sea trials and initial commercial operations.

ELECTRONIC MOTOR CONTROL

Variable Speed Drives like these from Vacon offer precise control over synchronous motor functions.  Argo|TEMA motors use this control to maximize even internal magnetic field characteristics, achieving efficiency in the high-90% range.  This article documents efficiency increases in paper mill operation.

INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION

Fieldbus Communication offers complete operator control over complex process equipment and steps.  Argo|TEMA motors are controlled by electronic drives like those from Danfoss that communicate with the Human Machine Interface.  This gives operators complete control and feedback on critical system conditions.  Applications include process manufacturing, commercial building systems, and any industrial environment requiring control over inter-related operations.

RENEWABLE ENERGY

Wind turbines are advancing in size and reliability using single or multiple permanent magnet generators.  The Britannia from Clipper is rated at 10mW and is designed primarily for offshore sites.  Note that the permanent magnet synchronous generator is at the heart of the turbine electrical system on page 4.
