Schneider Electric's Altivar Drives Recognized as "Efficient Solution" by Solar Impulse


BOSTON, Sept. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Schneider Electric, the leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, has been awarded the Solar Impulse Foundation's "Efficient Solution" label for two of its Altivar variable speed drives: The Altivar 600 range of ready-to-order and custom-engineered drives and the Altivar 312 Solar drives for pumps with photovoltaic arrays.

This recognition is part of the Solar Impulse Foundation's challenge to select 1,000 solutions that can protect the environment in a profitable way, showing decision makers in business and governments that clean technologies can also be financially viable. It is further proof of Schneider Electric's commitment to sustainable solutions.

The two drives were chosen as "Efficient Solutions" following a rigorous assessment by a team of external independent experts:

Driving sustainability & profitability with Altivar

Energy consumption has both an environmental and financial impact. The Altivar 600 range of drives, which is focused on fluids management processing and energy savings, is ideal to use wherever pumps, fans or compressors are present, such as water/wastewater plants, oil and gas facilities, or buildings. The Altivar 312 Solar is an 'easy to connect' drive dedicated to the environment, and performs with a wide range of pumps and solar arrays at a very low lifecycle maintenance cost.

"Altivar 600's services-oriented concept meets most needs of process industries and utilities in terms of equipment efficiency and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). By reducing maintenance costs, supporting energy management, asset management, and the overall performance of a process, end users can improve their energy efficiency by more than 40% through embedded service control. It is the ideal solution for customers looking for increased OpEx savings in the new normal. The ATV312 Solar is an environmentally friendly, economical, and flexible solution which can facilitate the delivery of drinking water to people with limited or no access to an electricity grid, at a much lower cost than existing solutions."  - Henry KIM (Head of Marketing, Drives, Schneider Electric).

Recently, the Solar Impulse Foundation also put the spotlight on EcoStruxure Microgrid Advisor and NEO Network solutions, recognizing Schneider Electric's commitment to integrate the 17 sustainable development goals defined by the UN in its solutions.
