Mines today look to partner with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) who share their commitment to sustainability and can offer the latest technology to optimise production while reducing their carbon footprint.
This is the view of Eduardo Werninghaus, CEO at WEG Africa, whose exhibit at the Electra Mining Africa (currently on in Johannesburg till 6 September) highlighted the companys extensive range of energy technologies - including solar, wind, steam and battery energy storage solution.
This diversity of choices, says Werninghaus, allows customers to consider various hybrid energy options to meet their sustainability goals.
"WEGs important differentiator is that we can draw from our wide selection of energy generation solutions, so we are really unbiased when helping customers find the most suitable design for their specific conditions," says Werninghaus. "By including renewable energy sources in our offering, we ensure customers can optimise sustainability while not compromising productivity."
Clean energy and sustainability
In the field of solar power, WEG has an extensive portfolio of products for all stages of the photovoltaic solar generation projects, with solutions for energy conversion and internal distribution systems.
These cover aspects all the way from the plant to the point of connection with the electrical system through high voltage substations.
The focus on clean energy is also driving the expansion of biofuel production, making steam power increasingly relevant to the local economy. WEG has established a leading role in turbo-generator solutions in Brazil, for example, where it has recently supplied systems that this year will add 140MW of clean energy to that countrys capacity. |
