Power quality improvement in electrical networks

Comsys has developed the ADF (Active Dynamic filter) to reduce problems caused by a veriety of electrical disturbances that weakens power quality. The ADF is a low-harmonic solution that uses harmonic compensation and mitigation resonance for power quality improvement in an electrical network. The solution is modular and adaptable, meaning that it can be applicable to different types of industries. The solution can also replace existing transformers in a network. The solution can help generating energy savings, higher productivity and reduce the number of failure in a network.

Biological toilet solution

ECOLOO is a toilet that is waterless, sewage free, energy free and requires low maintenance. The toilet is not using any water for flushing, the only water that could be required is for secondary functions such as cleaning the toilet or for personal hygiene. All the human waste is broken down to tiny particles and can then be used as fertilizer. The solution avoided emissions by reducing the need for fresh water for flushing, eliminating the need to treat sewage water and by creating fertilizers when being used.

Small plastic cylinders for high-efficiency dishwashing

Granuldisk has developed a new type of dish washers, where small pieces of plastic called Powergranules are incorporated into the dishwashers, scratching off unwanted residue from cooking pots and pans. This is combined with high pressure and water to make sure the clean process is finished. According to their website, the amount of water and energy needed to obtain the same result is reduced when using Powergranules. The products also replace many chemicals that are used in traditional dish washers.

Portable solution for temporary lighting

Prime Design Sweden has developed the Baselight, which is a portable light system to be used in situations where temporary light is required, such as construction sites, rescue operations or events. It can be easily moved around while maintaining performance and energy consumption that is competitive to permanent lighting solutions. Baselight is also equipped with different lighting settings to increase usability and flexibility.

Solutions for automated energy efficienct indoor environments

Arrigo is a cloud based open system which allows integration with other systems operating in other standards. This includes the equipment of other brands, even within building energy system monitoring and control. It can be used to improve the energy efficiency of buildings with chilled water systems. The greater operability between the systems could improve demand for energy control systems.

Industrial reycling of tyre material

Enviro has developed a process for recycling old tyre material into several useful products. The process, where the tyres are introduced as shredded pieces, includes pyrolysis followed by separation and treatment, resulting in steel that can be sold, industry-grade oil, gas that is re-used for energy in the recycling process, and carbon black, which is sold for reusage in new products. The innovation is unique in its ability to evenly heat the tyre material in the reactor, allowing for high efficiency and enables the extraction of carbon black from the material.

Optimization of heating and cooling solutions

The innovation is an analytic tool that can be applied to Heating, Ventilation, Airconditioning and Refrigeration (HVACR) systems, to detect deviations and in the end save energy. The analytics can detect performance losses in refrigeration systems and pinpoint where the deviation occurs. Either monitoring sensors are installed in combination with the analysis tool, or there are available sensors that the tool can connect to. Optimal operation and predictive maintenance can save energy and in turn reduce the need for energy production.

Energy storage in graphene-based super capacitators

Graphene can be used to make aluminium composite materials. One problem with using graphene is that it easily agglomerates and cannot be used that extensively for that reason. The Aros Graphene solves this problem and makes it possible to use graphene to make aluminium composite materials. Graphene is a highly conductive and lightweight material that can be used to make aluminium composite materials. According to Graphmatech AB, using graphene in aluminium composite can reduce about 50-70 % of aluminium in products. This means that about 50-70 % less energy for aluminium production is needed.

Material technology for reduced heating needs in building

The innovation is a silver-based alloy nanomaterial for use in low-emissivity (low-e) glass. Low-e glass windows have a microscopically thin coating that is transparent and reflects heat minimizing the amount of infrared and ultraviolet light that is transmitted through the window. The innovation purportedly allows more natural light to enter through the window compared to other low-e coatings currently in use, without compromising the window’s thermal insulation.
