ADVENTECH AWARDED SOLAR IMPULSE EFFICIENT SOLUTION DESIGNATION
International Award Recognizes Adventech's Environmentally Clean & Profitable Solutions
FLORENCE, AL - Shoals-based industrial technology solutions provider, Adventech, LLC, today announced the company had been awarded designation as a Solar Impulse Solutions Provider by the international Solar Impulse Foundation for successfully bringing its efficient technologies to market and positively impacting the world's energy demand.
The Solar Impulse Foundation seeks to recognize solutions providers around the world that are both clean and profitable and have a positive impact on the quality of life. The multi-phase award process was the result of rigorous assessment based on a verified methodology and against several criteria performed by external independent experts.
Adventech President Ryan Baker said "This award by the Solar Impulse Foundation is recognition of the hard work, ingenuity, and commitment shown by every one at Adventech. We are proud of the profound global impact our Adventech technologies have on energy efficiency and grid health."
The internationally diverse Solar Impulse Foundation is headed by Bertrand Piccard, visionary and pilot of the world's first solar-powered airplane to circumnavigate the globe. Other foundation members include Sir Richard Branson, Prince Albert II, marine biologist Silvia Earle, astrophysicist Hubert Reeves, oceanographer Don Walsh, environmentalist Al Gore, and filmmaker James Cameron.
The Foundation's expert assessment concluded, "A reduction in start-up current/power plus an overall improvement to the efficiency of the induction electric motor will lead to direct energy savings. These energy savings will have a direct impact on the reduction of resources needed for electric energy production, such as fossil fuel, natural gas, solar and wind power."
Baker added, "Maxeff motors, with wide enough adoption, can improve grid stability and help decarbonize industry, and we appreciate Solar Impulses recognition of this potential."
Induction motors in the industrial market sector alone account for 45-50% of global electric power consumption. Acknowledging that elimination of electrical waste and improved efficiency has a global impact of billions of dollars, it is the reduction in grid dependency that has Adventech most excited.
