With no geographical constraints, little environmental impact and no depletion on scarce materials, it’s no surprise that LAES have been cited as the future of energy storage. But, what does it take to get a LAES facility operational? Here, Marek Lukaszczyk, marketing manager for WEG Europe and Middle East explains.

Global motor manufacturer, WEG has launched Motion Fleet Management (WMFM), a control and monitoring tool for the operation and maintenance of industrial assets. Deployable across fleets of motors, drives, gearboxes and other installed equipment, WMFM promises to reduce unscheduled downtime, optimise maintenance, and improve efficiency in large industrial operations. Asset condition monitoring with Motion Fleet Management.

Dedicated to producing energy efficient equipment, global leaders of electric motor and variable speed drive (VSD) technologies, WEG has launched a new high-performance VSD. With a simplified design, increased power density and ease-of-use that allows the user to access configurations and technical data in a fast and simple way, the CFW900 provides a multitude of benefits.

Variable speed drives (VSDs) offer an alternative means of improving efficiency and reducing emissions. They intuitively vary voltage and input frequency to control speed and torque in electric motors dependent on the application, reducing energy costs and making processes more environmentally friendly.

How motors and drives complement Industry 4.0 and better communications.

Improved technology, sustainability, connectivity and safety for you and your electric vehicle.

The development of large-scale projects such as the $23 billion Barakah nuclear power plant in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the $563 million Doha south sewage treatment infrastructure in Qatar are expected to continue driving the demand for industrial pumps in the Middle East.

Bem Brasil is the largest potato producer in Brazil and has invested in WEG products for the generation of its own power supply.

Marek Lukaszczyk, European and Middle East marketing manager at the global manufacturer and supplier of motors and drive technology, WEG, gives us his top five reasons for selecting variable speed drives (VSDs) for pump applications.

It’s one thing opting for energy saving equipment, but it’s also important to make sure the equipment is properly installed and continually monitored so that you reap ongoing and maximum energy improvements.
