Renewable Energy

The basic principle of renewable energies is that, on the one hand, processes occurring in nature are harnessed and that, on the other hand, electricity, heat. and fuel are produced from renewable raw materials.

Renewable energies are not only a clean alternative to petroleum, coal, and natural gas. As the name suggests, their supply is almost inexhaustible. By using the power of the sun, wind, biomass, geothermal energy, water, or tides, the emission of greenhouse gases and other pollutants can be avoided — and money can be saved in the long term.

Plants for the generation of renewable energies must be optimally controlled, monitored, and maintained. System failures cost a lot of money and can lead to supply bottlenecks, so it is important to avoid them. Considering that many wind farms or hydroelectric or solar power plants are difficult to reach, remote monitoring and control is of the essence.

NetModule’ routers can be managed over the air. For example, software updates or even modem firmware updates can be carried out without physical access. System monitoring and recovery mechanisms are essential for the networking of wind farms or other difficult-to-access locations.

Currently, the focus is on power-saving functions, which are particularly helpful when using solar-powered system batteries. This way the routers can be switched off by software and reactivated by timer.

The wide range of operating temperature wide temperature ranges (–40°C /–40°F to +70°C/+158°F) and the fanless, closed IP40 metal housing allow operation under harsh conditions or in a cabinet for outdoor use.

Routers can be safely managed, controlled, and monitored globally using the Connectivity Suite management platform.
