RENEWABLE ENERGIES
AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY FOR THE RENEWABLE ENERGIES SECTOR
Reserves of fossil fuels like coal or oil are slowly running out. Renewable energies, also called regenerative energies, are clean. Based on reliable, controllable renewable energies such as hydropower and biomass, it is possible to make use of processes taking place in nature and generate power and heat from renewable raw materials and resources.
Intelligence meets precision
Our in depth knowledge of processes has been incorporated in developing a solution which, thanks to latest control engineering, focuses on the operation of systems on automation level with highest user comfort, maximum energy and cost efficiency, quality and reliability on industrial level for the generation and distribution of renewable energy.
For more than 15 years, the SPS & CAD Group has been demonstrating its competence in successful projects in the field of renewable energies such as biogas, biomass and hydropower.
BIOMASS AND WOOD LOGISTICS
Biomass and wood logistics processes are very complex – including many sensors and actors, individual systems, numerous closed loop controls and various communication interfaces. Our automation solutions in the biomass and wood logistics sector are used in all specific processes and ancillary facilities.
The innovative, customized overall solutions offered by the SPS & CAD Group give a decisive advantage over competitors in the cost-effective automation of biomass heating systems.
- Heat, power, gas
- Biomass thermal power plants, decentralized energy generation
with combined heat and power - Combined heat and power stations, energy control centres
- Regenerative energies, biogenic gases as well as biomass
WATER SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION
HYDROPOWER
Energy from the power of the water
For centuries, people have been using hydropower as a source of energy. Hydroelectric power plants can be installed only in sites where the flow velocity of water is high enough to power turbines. Automation and modernization of storage power stations and pumped storage hydro power stations set highest standards for process control with regard to availability, monitoring and operation. Here, using the latest generation of process control systems is indispensable for controlling the turbines and hydropower.
WATER TREATMENT
A complex process for obtaining purest water
Water treatment is an essential process step in the production of drinking water. The treatment and preparation of water consists not only of one single process, but requires very often several procedural steps for the preparation of purest water. With our automation solutions we help plant manufacturers finding solutions when it is about treatment facilities for the production of drinking water using reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration.
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS
Waste water treatment as an approach to protect the environment
The methods of wastewater treatment and the various plant types range from activated sludge plants to membrane bioreactor plants. Optimum wastewater purification can only be reached using modern wastewater treatment processes while in the background fully automated neutralization systems are cleaning the water in accordance with the strict statutory conditions. Wastewater treatment plants must be ready for operation around the clock because wastewater flows continuously without interruption. This is also the reason why each control-oriented solution must be clearly structured in a way that it can be operated by the existing staff. We modernize and automate your wastewater treatment plants with regard to process stability, energy consumption and observance of discharge values.
