Solutions We Offer

Engineering services for green technology systems & digital transformation

Electricity meters

We design for our clients single-phase or polyphase meters with accurate energy measurement and efficient wireless and wired communications. With advanced integrated circuits and reference platforms, our engineers can significantly reduce the time and costs of your project while adding extra safety features.

Also, we work with measurement equipment to ensure power quality: design technical and commercial energy accounting systems (EAS).

Control Panel
Industrial Control Panel Development
We designed an industrial control panel based on FPGA, CPU Sitara by IT, Linux, and RTOS (AMP). Our team was responsible for industrial, mechanical, and hardware design, software development, and functional testing on our test bench.As part of this system, our team developed our own IP C37.94.
IP C37.94
C37.94 Transceiver IP Core for Teleprotection Equipment
We designed the C37.94 transceiver IP core for teleprotection equipment with full test coverage. It is available for sale to companies that want to reduce the time and costs of their FPGA projects significantly.C37.94 are optical interfaces that transfer relay protection information between teleprotection devices and digital multiplexers over optical fibre channels.

FAQ

What is digital transformation in oil and gas?

 

Environmental and geopolitical developments are forcing oil and gas corporations to restructure their businesses and make new plans for the future of their enterprises. The most promising trend is a digital transformation or the process of implementing digital technologies to optimise the main technological processes for oil and gas production, storage, and transportation.

 

What is solar energy systems engineering?

 

The fundamental idea behind solar energy systems is that solar panels use the photovoltaic effect to convert solar energy, or sunshine, into DC. The DC energy can subsequently be transformed into AC energy or stored in the battery.

In countries with hot climates, this approach makes it possible to create solar water pumps or solar air conditioners. Utilizing them lessens the expense of energy use and its negative effects on the environment.

 

What are some examples of green technology?

 

There are several types of green technology:

  • solar power (solar air conditioning, solar charger, solar inverter);
  • wind power (windmill, wind-powered wheels);
  • bioenergy (system for biomass production);
  • geothermal energy (geothermal turbine, geothermal generator).
