Flexible inverter for smart power systems

Ferroamp have developed a flexible inverter called ‘EnergyHub’ that enables a flexible integration of photo voltaic systems, energy storage, small-scale wind and electric car charging. This makes it possible to utilize the consumption variations between buildings while also cutting power peaks during times of high consumption. The solution can convert the power between AC and DC with minimal losses compared to traditional systems. Furthermore, EnergyHub can be scaled and connected between buildings and are applicable for all levels of effect needed.

Food waste management by Black Soldier Fly

Food waste and nutrition recovery innovation through the use of biologically-produced enzymes. The concept is similar to 'farming' using an insect larvae of the black soldier fly. The larvae breaks down waste, creating a usable protein fixed in the insect. The larvae can be processed for a variety of feed uses as a sustainable additive. Instead of farming the solution on a large scale, the company aims to provide the service at the household level.
