How do induction motors work?
In this type of AC motor, the rotor’s required electric current for producing torque is generated by electromagnetic induction from the stator windings.
Swarm technology wrangles wind turbine wakes
Significant energy production increases can be realized at wind farms via collective control and advanced analytics.
Non-intrusive sensor for pipeline monitoring under development
The non-intrusive sensor — unlike intrusive sensors that need to be pre-installed during pipeline construction — can be installed after pipeline construction and use light and sound-based measurement systems.
KLINGER Ballostar KHA: Versatile ball valve for extreme applications
The new Ballostar KHA boasts superior fire safety features as standard, improved corrosion protection, serial antistatic equipment in accordance with ISO 7121 and EN 1983, and an optimized sealing system.
Robotic arm pumps gas autonomously
The autonomous robotic system features a robotic arm that is capable of refueling cars.
CPC Pumps launches the BB5 complementing International API 610 range
The BB5 features a double-casing design as well as improved sealing designs enabling deployment in high-temperature and high-pressure applications as well as those with low specific gravity fluids.
Ground and structure collapse detection sensor developed by KICT researchers
The smart sensor is reportedly sensitive enough to detect changes in slope as subtle as 0.03°, easy to install and functions well under temperature extremes. An algorithm analyzes and evaluates risk of collapse to prevent false alarms.
Internet of energy: Shaping the future of smart grids
The internet of energy is an offshoot of the internet of things that brings the benefits of big data processing, universal computing and machine-to-machine communication to a variety of applications.
