Renewable energiesFor wind and tidal power, photovoltaic and hydroelectric energy, industrial processes, the service sector, low-carbon vehicles etc, Leroy-Somer designs and manufactures innovative drive solutions to produce "green" energy and cut electricity consumption.In the photovoltaic sector, with more than 100 MW of power installed worldwide, the group designs and manufactures inverters for converting energy and geared motors for controlling how the panels move in order to increase productivity. The company's expertise in designing and manufacturing tower crane orientation systems also explains Leroy-Somer's increasing share of the market in drive systems for wind turbine auxiliary equipment. Another type of green energy production, hydroelectricity is yet another field in which Leroy-Somer is active, with its asynchronous generator ranges and also its new permanent magnet synchronous generator ranges combined with frequency converters. |
