List of products awarded the MTP Gold Medal at EXPOPOWER 2015 OPTIMA 145 – Metal enclosed gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) ELEKTROBUDOWA S.A., Katowice It is designed for use in electricity distribution networks with the frequency of 50 Hz and nominal voltage up to 145 kV. It is an interior, interval switchboard, in an aluminium casing made as a cast with single or double busbar system and a switch with self-compressing chamber. Thanks to its optimum size, it may be installed in new and modernized power plants. EKO composite pole Energy Composites Sp. z o.o., Wodzisław Śląski The pole is a new quality in the energy sector. Made from composite. Designed for the construction of overhead LV and MV lines. It is a light weight product, easy and cheap to transport. The assembly can be performed by two persons. There is no need to use heavy equipment. It has a 40 year design life. It is safe, as it is an insulator. The perch production is organic – the pole is 100% recyclable. It does not corrode; it is resistant to all road dirt, salt, animal contamination. It does not interfere with radio waves, microwaves, radars. It does not absorb fluids and does not deform permanently. The perch means savings. Telemechanics control unit for SMART GRID technology applications Badawczo –Rozwojowa Spółdzielnia Pracy Mikroprocesorowych Systemów Automatyki (Microprocessor Automation Systems Research and Development Cooperative) MIKRONIKA, Poznań Submitted by: Przedsiębiorstwo Techniczno-Handlowe EUROTRONIC Sp. z o.o., Poznań The USP-120-2 object control unit is designed to perform telemechanics functions resulting from the needs of the Smart Grid technology, including the collection of statuses and the implementation of controls in facilities and devices working within power devices. In particular, the control unit may operate as an element of distributed tele-signalling and teleoperation systems, installed in drive cabinets of MV overhead cut-off switches SELF- HEALING GRID SHG restoration system Schneider Electric Telecontrol, France Submitted by: Schneider Electric Polska Sp. z o.o. The solution is based on a standard product offered by Schneider Electric - the Easergy T200I station control unit. Control units available in the market are based on the communication with the SCADA/DMS type master system, where decisions on switching operations are taken by a controller, which, in the case of power restoration, takes too much time. Schneider Electriic developed a solution that shortens the time of restoring energy supply from an average of two hours to approx. 30 seconds thanks to the application of peer-to-peer communication between control units and the automation of the entire process. The whole system is decentralized, designed to work without SCADA/DMS or as its supplement. The controller is informed of a short circuit, but SHG does not wait for the controller's response. Instead, Easergy T200I drivers automatically communicate with each other in order to find a dense area, isolate it and restore power in areas not covered by the network disturbance. Mzb2 type prefabricated transformer station ZPUE S.A. Włoszczowa submitted by: ZPUE S.A. Włoszczowa ZPUE S.A. / Grupa KORONEA, Włoszczowa Mzb2- a prefabricated transformer station in the C30/37 casing made of reinforced concrete with external support. Standard equipment - TPM MV switchgear, RN-W LV, installed on the opposite sides of the station; transformer chamber (max.630kVA) is positioned in the middle, installation - after the removal of the roof. Gravity ventilation. The stations are transported fully equipped to the place of installation. The stations comply with the ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o. standards as of January 1, 2015 List of products awarded the MTP Gold Medal at GREENPOWER 2015 “POSTERUS 2020” universal integrated installation for the production of secondgeneration biofuels from glycerine waste BIOTEN Sp. z o.o., Poznań „POSTERUS 2020” - a breakthrough in the production of biofuels. An integrated, universal pilot system for the production of second generation biofuels from waste glycerine phase formed during the production of biodiesel. The installation solves the global problem of managing the glycerine phase waste by the manufacturers of bioesters, and it is a closing element of the cycle of the production of biofuels from rapeseed oil. Also, the resulting fertilizer is usable in agriculture, and it confirms the universal and waste-free nature of the technology. Nogen heaters Nogen Sp. z o.o., Kobylnica product patented in Poland and Europe manufactured in Poland advanced control automation maximum utilization of the energy taken and processing into thermal energy much more efficient than traditional heaters no-cost installation they produce no exhaust or waste they eliminate low emissions in cities they do not reduce natural air humidity they do not produce the dust burning effect and they are odourless. made from the highest quality materials The machine aggregated with an agricultural tractor for collecting and rolling up of wood material remaining after the cutting of branches, tree suckers and shrubs as biomass for energy purposes Przemysłowy Instytut Maszyn Rolniczych (Industrial Institute of Agricultural Engineering), Poznań and PROMAR Sp. z o.o., Poznań submitted by: Przemysłowy Instytut Maszyn Rolniczych (Industrial Institute of Agricultural Engineering), Poznań In the machine invented by the Industrial Institute of Agricultural Engineering, a unique design gatherer was used in the form of a cylinder, on which there are jaw clutches in the shape of cams mounted radially, symmetrically, adapted to the type of wood material collected in orchards and vineyards. In the machine a special design tandem type suspension system was applied (where at the ends of the common beam on the left and right swingarms four wheels not extending beyond the machine were mounted), which allows to reduce the pressure on the ground and enables the machine to be operated in interrows of small width. Spirvent invertrer Spirvent Sp.z o.o., Oborniki The value that motivates us is the idea of organic work combined with activities aimed at improving the world around us.
