Mounting Systems supplies the tracking system “Sigma Tracker” for the construction of one of the largest photovoltaic projects in Egypt
This year, in Benban in Egypt (Aswan) on an area of almost 100 hectares, the construction of one of the largest solar power plants in the country will begin. The plant will be constructed by the Infinity 50 consortium and its German member, the project developer ib Vogt GmbH; the company Mounting Systems from Rangsdorf will supply the racking system. The newly developed ‘Sigma Tracker’ will be used for the first time; it is a tracking system that promises high material quality, cost efficiency (both in construction and operation) as well as improved energy yield of up to 25%. “We are very proud to be able to help realize one of the first major PV projects in Egypt with our new and innovative ‘Sigma Tracker’ tracking system,” says Michael Sehner, managing director of Mounting Systems GmbH.

ZSW develops smart method to map energy flows in the electrical grid
Scientists from the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Re-search in Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) are looking to use improved, self-learning algorithms to get a more detailed picture of energy flows in the electrical grid. A major research project was launched to this end in February 2017. These algorithms will serve to more accurately forecast consumers’ needs and the amount of electricity generated from renewables. Satellite data will also be used to improve feed-in forecasts. The results of the researchers’ efforts are to be tested and refined in power compa-nies’ grids.
