WEG in partnership with Geraforte contributes to a better energy generation in a city of Brazil
[ad_1]
Generating energy for a city can be a great challenge, even more so when dealing with the need to sustain energy demand in high season periods, as happens in main tourist cities. A reliable power source is a critical element for these cities to meet the energy demands during certain seasonal periods. In order to be prepared for it, the city of Paraty, located in Brazil, is increasing its substation capacity by another 7.5MVA.
The energy will be provided by Geraforte gensets and they have selected WEG as the alternators supplier for this project. Also, it is a result of WEG experience in power generation business that has already produced over 40 MW of power in alternators.
The project consists of 10 gensets of 750 kVA each and five of them are already under operation. One of the highlights of the project is the installation of the gensets which is inside 40-foot super acoustic containers, over 12 meters long and eight tons each.
Recognized as a tourist destination for thousands of people every year, the city of Paraty stands out nationally for its historical and cultural heritage, will now be more prepared to receive tourists with the partnership of the expertise of WEG and Geraforte solutions.

WEG develops nanostructured coatings in partnership with Randon
[ad_1]
With a focus on sustainability and technological innovation, the WEG Group Division WEG Tintas, in partnership with NIONE, one of Randon´s companies that is focused on research, production and application of nanotechnology, has just launched a protective coatings line based on nanoparticles.
Named New Tech, this new line is the result of an extensive research and development work conducted between WEG and NIONE in the search of a sustainable solution, more resistant to corrosion and improved gloss and color performance.
Solvent-free, fast-drying, water-based and with properties of nanoparticles, the new single-component line combines special acrylic resins and has Niobium as one of the main nanoparticles in a premix that is supplied by NIONE.
The new New Tech technology will be incorporated into lines of brake discs from Fremax, one of Randon’´s auto parts manufacturing units.
As stated by Reinaldo Richter, WEG Tintas Managing Director, the combination of nano materials in new polymers has allowed coatings with much higher performance to replace conventional paints. “Customers’ search for products that allow for more productivity has driven our efforts towards technological developments. The coming years demand more sustainable, efficient and durable products that help different industrial sectors to meet ESG principles”, says Reinaldo.
In recent years, WEG has invested R$ 12.5 million (about US$ 2.3 million) in research and in the acquisition of equipment for the manufacture of nanostructured technologies. For Randon, the partnership with WEG leverages the gains obtained through scientific research and development work, carried out jointly between both companies. “The large-scale production of niobium nanoparticles is an innovation at global level, with the potential to open up new opportunities for different industrial sectors and which motivates us to continue investing on this initiative, which combines science and environmentally friendly production methods, contributing for a sustainable process”, says NIONE´s Director, César Ferreira.

WEG and Vale partnership starts production of E-Houses in Minas Gerais
[ad_1]
The new WEG manufacturing site, installed in Betim, state of Minas Gerais, will be holding the manufacture of 69 Central Solar E-Houses for the mining company Vale. The contract signed with Vale has been a key factor for WEG’s decision to invest in Minas Gerais, generating 100 new jobs and fostering technological development in the state. The factory counts on 5000 square meters of manufacturing facilities for the production of central solar E-Houses and industrial E-Houses.
The package of equipment for Vale is scheduled to be delivered from the second half of this year for Sol do Cerrado Project, in the municipality of Jaíba, northern region of the state. The mining company’s project will occupy an area of over 1200 hectares and will be one of the largest photovoltaic energy generation parks in Brazil, with an installed capacity of 766 Megawatts-peak (MWp) and an energy generating capacity of 1.6 Gigawatts-hour per year (GWh / year). Operations are scheduled to start in the second half of 2022.
Vale’s investments in this Sol do Cerrado Project is in the range of US$ 500 million. “The efforts are intended to promote social and economic development in the regions where Vale holds its operations. In addition to generating more than a thousand jobs in the implementation phase of the project, with priority given to hiring local labor force, Vale felt honored to have collaborated with WEG´s important strategic decision, which will not only serve the Sol do Cerrado Project , but it will contribute to the technological development of Minas Gerais ”, says Marco Braga, Vale´s Supply Chain Director. Last year, the Vale invested about R$ 15 billion in purchases from state of Minas Gerais suppliers.
WEG will supply E-Houses with central solar frequency drives, which will transform the energy generated in the photovoltaic modules, allowing it to be availability into the Brazilian electrical interconnected grid for distribution and consumption. “This equipment is fully designed and manufactured in Brazil. The production of these E-Houses will already take place at our new plant in Betim, state of Minas Gerais. The contract not only starts the operations of our new factory, but also evidences our expertise to offer efficient solutions for such important project”, explains Manfred Peter Johann, Managing Director of WEG Automation Business Unit.
Considered one of the most innovative companies in Brazil, WEG is a traditional provider of complete solutions for the solar energy segment. The company´s history of supplying EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) contracts has not only supported WEG to participate in the construction of strategic solar parks in Brazil, but it has also helped to create new business opportunities with supply of equipment for new plants.
