Swiss quality and precision on the rooftop of the world, source PV Europe, on 28 December 2017   Anyone planning or installing PV knows Meteonorm: the software for irradiation data that is part of most software applications used for sizing generators – Part Two of our insight report. Meteotest Staff members of Meteotest climbed on the rooftop of the world: Mount Everest in the Himalaya. The first version of Meteonorm was released in 1985. The first digital version was created between 1993 and 1995, commissioned by the Swiss Federal Office for Energy. This then became the standard in the PV industry and is now used in all simulations of solar generators. Most systems used for planning and simulations have a kernel that comes from Meteonorm, which Meteotest is administering as a…

A simple and cheap solution to afford to do thermography without opening cabinet doors by AXU

Informacion
Advantages of using thermal imagers to routinely check temperatures in plants and locate hot-spots that may lead to a premature failure or fire are well known. LookIR infrared window panels allow accurate temperature measurements to be taken during normal operation, without opening cabinet doors. Plastic infrared inspection windows are available from AXU in Italy to lower the costs of making routine thermal imaging inspections of transformer boxes and other electrical equipments. Most process engineers are familiar with the advantages of using thermal imagers or infrared thermometers to routinely check temperatures in plants, and locate hot-spots that may lead to a premature failure or fire. Usually, making a thermal inspection of an electrical cabinet requires opening doors, modifying the actual temperatures that exists in its normal operating state. Furthermore, internal inspections…
