Details

All BaxEnergy products and IPs have been developed using a single flexible core: the proprietary Universal Data Engine™. This solution initially designed to connect multiple OEM vendors in the same system, has later on been used to interconnect diverse technologies (wind, solar, hydropower, geothermal etc.)  and eventually realize entirely different applications (asset performance management, actionable insights, etc.), all with limited R&D investments.

Overview:
  • Yokogawa participated in Japan's largest wind power plant construction project.
  • The comprehensive solution including SCADA system provides safe and secure remote operation.
Industries:
Overview:

TSE proposed to customer a floating solar PV system that floats in water storage pond, cooling ponds, and wastewater ponds in the plant.
Yokogawa's CI Server and FA-M3 PLC contribute to the production of clean power for the plant.

Industries:
Overview:
  • The STARDOM network-based control system and FA-M3 range-free controllers play an important role in smoothing out the supply of this power to the grid
  • STARDOM and FA-M3 ensure smooth supply of power to grid by wind farm equipped with large-capacity NAS batteries
Industries:
Overview:

Industrial hydrogen fuel cells can be used to produce hydrogen and oxygen from distilled water as well as run in reverse to generate electricity. Fuel cells can also be used in conjunction with intermittent energy sources like solar or wind to provide regulated continuous energy output.

Industries:
Overview:

Geothermal power plants create electricity from geothermal energy. These power plants are similar to other steam turbine station; however their heat source is that of the earth's core. The created steam is used to turn the turbine for the production of electricity. Technologies include Dry steam, Flash steam and Binary cycle power stations with Binary cycle being the most common geothermal plant in current production. In the process of geothermal power generation the facility needs to monitor various processes, as in this case steam line pressure sits in remote from control room's location.

Industries:
Overview:

With industrial and economic development comes increasingly large and advanced power plants and factories. Nevertheless, we find many cases where the original cables, cable tunnels, and other components of the power infrastructure have languished under continuous operation.
