Renewable energy technologies

Photovoltaic systems and other renewable energy technologies work on a similar principle. Through chemical or physical processes, energy that is already there is transformed into electric energy. This electric energy is then processed and made available in a standardized form (see diagram on page 6). The electricity generated by such a system, however, must be used immediately, at the same time that it is generated. And that is why there is the need for a storage medium which can hold energy when there is no immediate consumption. Where electricity is fed into the grid, the utility company will take on this task by constantly readjusting the inflow of energy produced by third parties along with the fluctuation in overall energy demand. Such systems basically require two interconnected subsystems: the power system, which makes the energy generated available in a grid-compliant form, and the control system, which ensures – and monitors – the reliable and safe operation under power.

Services and consultancy

SCHURTER, in the 80 years since its foundation, has thoroughly familiarized itself with diverse application standards, acquiring extensive knowledge in implementing customer-specific solutions along the way. This combination of standard products and individual concepts paves the way to new approaches for developing solutions which can then be readied for mass production within a very short amount of time.

SCHURTER offers comprehensive solution packages – from the initial concept down to the delivery of the systems ready for mounting. More than 50 engineers are dedicated to developing our products and manufacturing systems. Our expertise encompasses injection molding, metalworking, electroplating, assembly using automated manufacturing systems, clean-room touch panel assembly, casing systems manufacturing and PCB assembly as well as EMC product development and manufacturing.
