With our solar-diesel and wind-diesel systems we can create 30–70 % fuel savings and equal reduction on CO2 emission depending on the solar and wind conditions. Our website (www.danvest.com) gives a very good insight in what our system can do. On our facebook page you can see all our reference projects https://www.facebook.com/pages/Danvest-references/604009246282402. Also have a look at our website www.hybridpowerformining.com .
The Danvest Hybrid Power System is a combination of wind turbines or solar panels combined with modified diesel power stations (Danvest Power Box) and is used for uninterupted electricity production in remote areas where electricity is not available or unreliable. The modified diesel-generator set creates automatically and continuously backup energy for electricity production when there is not enough wind or solar energy to meet consumer demand for electricity. One of the unique features of our system is that if there is enough wind or solar energy to produce the demanded electricity the engine fully stops (standard diesel gen sets have to run on 30% of their capacity to create spinning reserve and if they go below 30% the engine pollutes and will be damaged). This unique feature is based on our low-load technique. If more electricity is needed than solar or wind energy can provide the engine can go to full power in a few seconds.
We mainly use Cummins and Caterpillar engines for the Danvest Power Box. Both companies give their factory guarantees on the engines once they have been modified with the Danvest components.
In our wind-diesel projects we work in close collaboration with Vestas and Siemens Wind Power, but our system can work with any kind of turbine. In our solar diesel projects we work together with several large solar project developers.
