Energy conservation measures
WE uses cost-effective solar energy to operate both On-shore and off-shore plants by managing these properties:
- Structural orientation, layout and temperature control to maximize natural light
- Plant insulation properties to reduce heating and cooling loads
- Natural ventilation using outside air economy for cooling
- Energy efficient air-conditioning system to maximize cooling efficiency
On-site energy generation
The SWE Energy Centre incorporates an energy generation suite developed for efficiency and to showcase available technologies. These technologies include:
- Micro turbine cogeneration system
- Multiple water turbine system
- Provision for a future fuel cell
- Photovoltaic system comprising three types of building integrated photovoltaic arrays
- Solar thermal energy stored in each plant.
