Energy-efficient frequency converters
25 April 2014
Maabjerg BioEnergy in Holstebro, Denmark, has established itself as a world leader in the production of environmentally friendly and sustainable energy. 150 VLT drives helps the plant achieve its efficiency goals.
Control is performed from a central control room with an ICS system that collects all operational data and provides an overview. The facility is large enough to employ a full time laboratory technician.
150 frequency converters with PROFIBUS on everything from conveyor screws and agitator tanks, to pumps and heating plants provide an energy-efficient solution, plus the ability to perform centralised control and monitoring.
To ensure consistent programming with the other plants in the region, the Danfoss VLT Automation Drive from 0.75kW was selected for most conveyor screws, up to 45kW for the heating plant.
