Nexans Solar Technologies is an internal branch of Nexans, created in 2018 as part of the transition plan towards renewable energies, which aims at providing solutions, products, and services to energy producers and investors.
The solar tracker from KEYLIOS® is the first solution entirely conducted by Nexans Solar Technologies, from design to manufacturing. A major contract had already been signed with a prominent developer of photovoltaic projects and an energy supplier providing more than 800 of these solar trackers to be established on four solar facilities located in the southwest of France.
The local council of Montmélian, located about ten kilometers (6.21 miles) from Chambéry in Savoy, has decided to expand its range of sporting facilities by investing in this new indoor tennis court project. This shining perspective of light and the sun, originally inspired by the city's designation of "Solar Montmélian", symbolizes the heart of this project, highlighted by the maximum exploitation of natural light, which is composed of translucent polycarbonate sheets and photovoltaic panels covering 5,812.51 ft² of the facility.
The expansion of the Orly Sud Airport aims at increasing the airport's capacity and increasing passenger mobility between arrivals and departures, especially for low-cost airlines. The expansion project in the south terminal was initiated by the company Groupe ADP.
In the Chinese province of Qinghai, near the city of Haixi, a complex of 23 multi-energy plants is being built, combining different technologies to generate energy from renewable resources. The complex comprises a 618.4-foot-high tower of the 50 MW solar power plant; the support structure is expected to be completed in mid-2019.
The solar power plant uses modern CSP (Concentrated Solar Power) technology, which enables the storage of thermal solar energy, thus ensuring continuous power generation even at night.
After more than 2 1/2 years of construction, the world’s highest 3S cableway, "Matterhorn glacier ride", opened at the end of September 2018. The $55 million project was developed to increase passenger capacity to the Klein Matterhorn, at an altitude of 12,802 ft. Additionally, it is now possible to keep the service running when performing maintenance work on the existing tramway.
A student team from the Czech Technical University (CTU) in Prague took third place overall in the Solar Decathlon 2013, an engineering competition which is organized biennially by the U.S. Department of Energy. The competition challenged 20 collegiate teams from around the world to design, build, and operate an energy-efficient solar-powered house.
The sluice gate is based on a pressure segment used to control the water level of the weir. The flap width is 23 ft, the total width of the structure is 34 ft. It is possible to dam water to a maximum height of 18 ft. The structure is made of S 355 steel.
