Progress in the Sinter Project
The Sinter Project’s (Intelligent Grid Stabilising systems) 3 single-blade wind turbines, financed by the Ministry of Science and Innovation, are already operational. SINTER, with its 6 demonstration units, is intended to prove the technical and financial feasibility of distributed generation by means of renewable energy sources, in order to provide an alternative solution to the current problems with weak or overloaded electric power grids. ADES is actively participating in this project with three of its products: wind turbine, solar tracker and solar house.
The installed ADES 250 kW compensated motor torque turbines, compensate, accumulate and regulate the variations in the wind in a simple manner thanks to their special design, which include innovations such as self-steering, a high-inertia power train and pendular compensation.
These comprise 3 of the 6 demonstration units of the SINTER Project:
- Demonstration unit 3: a 250kW wind turbine at the pumping installation of the Valdabra reservoir (in Huesca).
- Demonstration unit 4, a 250 kW wind turbine, a 30 kW solar tracker and a 20 kW solar house with two 3 kW mini wind turbines. All these products are designed by ADES and are located at ADES’s premises in Tarazona, beside the ADES Production Centre and Technological Centre.
- Demonstration unit 5: a 250 kW wind turbine installed at the Renewable Energy Development Centre (the CEDER), in the province of Soria.
These wind generators are a great support to the demonstration units as they are the main contributors of entirely renewable power, which are easily regulated and the production of which fits demand at all times.
