Delta Highlights its Broader Portfolio of Smart Energy-Efficient Solutions and System Integration Capabilities at Hannover Messe 2017
Delta, a global leader in power and thermal management solutions, announced today it is demonstrating, at Hannover Messe 2017, its expanded spectrum of energy-efficient solutions and its deep track record in system integration to nurture the competitiveness of low-carbon sectors such as e-mobility, smart factories, sustainable buildings, green power plants and more. The 150kW DC Ultra-Fast EV Charger, currently offering reduced charging times by close to 35% to EV drivers in Western and Northern Europe; the new Integrated IIoT, Automation and Robot Workstation live demo for smart manufacturing; and the newly-launched wireless charging system for electric forklifts represent the high diversification nature of Delta’s showcase this year at the world’s largest industrial fair.
Delta’s president & general manager for Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA), Mr. Jackie Chang, remarked, “This year represents the 30th anniversary of Delta’s presence in EMEA, where we have evolved into a growing network of 27 sales offices, 7 R&D centers with 2,700 R&D engineers as well as 2 plants across the entire region. We are quite proud of our stronger portfolio of innovative and energy-saving and solutions designed to optimize the productivity and carbon footprint of our customers’ platforms. We’ve recently supported the expansion of a colossal cluster of solar PV plants in Denmark to 75.4 MW, enough to fulfill the annual electricity needs of approximately 32,250 households, by integrating Delta’s high-efficiency PV inverters while sharing our system integration know-how.”
Significant highlights from Delta’s exhibition at Hannover Messe, Hall 11, stand A57, include:
- EV Charging Solutions: Our 150kW DC Ultra-Fast EV Charger offers 35% lower charging time for EVs (68kWh battery) versus a common 50kW charger. It features simultaneous charging for 4 EVs and a modular system design to facilitate future power upgrades, an ideal option for charging site operators and investors seeking optimal total cost of ownership. The system integrates 2 DC charging ports (CCS up to 100kW and/or CHAdeMO up to 63kW) and 2 AC charging ports. Comprehensive system monitoring and remote control is possible through the cloud-based Charging Point Operator Back Office System, compatible with wireline and wireless connectivity (Ethernet, 3G, GPRS). EV drivers in Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands and other European countries already benefit from Delta’s ultra-fast EV chargers. Delta will also exhibit its AC EVSE units, similar to the ones supporting BMW’s new EV charging site at TAIPEI 101 building, inaugurated last week in Taiwan.
- Industrial Automatio Solutions: This year, the live demo of our new Integrated IIoT, Automation and Robot Workstation will reveal Delta’s system integration capabilities towards smart manufacturing. The workstation leverages Delta’s manufacturing execution system (MES), 6-axis articulated robot, high-performance machine vision systems, IIoT connectivity and area sensor devices to execute on-site customer orders (processed via a cloud system) for laser-engraved names on business card holder gifts. Other live demo will feature newly-launched products such as the AC Servo Drive ASDA-A3 Series which boasts a vibration elimination algorithm to optimize the operation of advanced machines and motion equipment.
- Building Automation Solutions: Delta is presenting powerful tools to enable smart and cost-effective energy efficiency in buildings. Thus, the versatile Building Management & Control System (BMCS) will be available at Hannover Messe 2017. This IoT, cloud-ready system utilizes its compatibility with all communication protocols to realize comprehensive and eco-friendly control of different sub-systems operating in buildings (HVAC, power generation, lighting, elevators, etc.).
- Renewable Energy Solutions: Our string solar PV inverters, with leading energy efficiency up to 98.8% and a highly durable IP65-rated casing are an integral part of our product showcase at Hannover Messe 2017 as they support the creation of solar energy systems for residential, commercial and utility-scale applications across the world. A massive conglomerate of PV power plants near Vandel, Denmark has recently been expanded to 75.4MW, utilizing a total of 1,508 Delta 50kW PV inverters as well as our technical expertise. At such capacity level, this project is expected to generate up to 107.6 million kWh of clean electricity per year which is enough to power 32,250 households while preventing annual carbon dioxide emissions by 46,410 tons.
- Energy Storage Systems: A wide range of technologies for a variety of energy storage applications are part of Delta’s offering this year:
- The new 100kW Power Conversion System (PCS100K) is a modular and scalable platform to provide lower-cost electric power to battery energy storage systems (BESS) via 5 bi-directional conversion units (BCUs). This system operates with RS485 and ModBus RTU communication interfaces, and offers a user-friendly 7-inch touch panel and a durable IP20-rated cabinet.
- Delta’s new lithium-ion battery energy storage modules for high voltage and for 48V applications which provide 2.59kWh nominal energy with a long lifecycle of up to 4,000 cycles (@25°C) and discharge rates of max. 4C and 1C respectively. Parallel expansion up to MWh level is attainable through Delta’s energy storage containerized systems. A 24V module is also available for e-forklift and automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
- Wireless Charging Systems: Our newly-launched wireless power transfer system for industrial, robotics and AGV applications achieves over 93% energy efficiency from 1kW to 30kW capacity. CAN bus communication capability and an IP65-rated rugged waterproof casing are value-added qualities of this innovative system
- Several other highly integrated power solutions within Delta’s extensive portfolio for telecommunications, data center, industrial and medical applications are also key highlights this year. Among these, the newly-launched 600kVA-1.2MVA DPS series UPS for large-scale industrial applications and datacenters boasts the world’s highest power density (600kVA/m2) for unparalleled footprint, flexible N+X expansion of up to 8 units for a total of 9.6MW back-up power, and leading AC-AC efficiency of up to 96.5%.
- Eltek, a subsidiary of Delta, will display its revolutionary Rectiverter, the world’s first bi-directional power module at its own exhibition site at Hall 13, stand D39 along other high-efficiency power systems. The Rectiverter is a power conversion module combining the functions of a rectifier, an inverter and internal transfer technology into a single module. Eltek recently received the prestigious innovation award from NHO - The Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise for its groundbreaking Rectiverter product. The Rectiverter is the pillar of the solar PV systems that Eltek is currently installing in 104 hospitals in Zimbabwe under the “Solar for Health” plan created by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).
Delta’s showcase at Hannover Messe 2017 will be located at Hall 11, Stand A57 from April 24 to 28, Hannover, Germany.
