Electronic enclosures play a crucial role in utility operations, serving a diverse range of applications and ensuring the safe functioning of utilities. Nevertheless, these enclosures often face numerous challenges, including extreme temperatures, dust, dirt, water immersion, vibration, and shock. To guarantee optimal performance and safety, it is imperative to design the enclosures in a manner that effectively shields them from these elements.
Our electronic enclosures and accompanying accessories offer resilient protection against external factors like dust and dirt, enabling them to operate seamlessly even in harsh environments characterized by fluctuations in temperature and humidity.
Metal Enclosures that serve the Energy Industry
At Eterna, Our engineers have developed equipment enclosures tailored to the specific requirements of solar, wind, and geothermal energy sources, all of which are increasing in significance each day due to their renewable nature.
SOLAR
Solar power is the most abundant energy source available on Earth. This form of renewable energy has experienced rapid growth and is now the fastest-growing sector globally. Numerous countries are making significant investments in solar technology to harness its potential.
Solar panels have revolutionized various industries, enabling the power supply for airplanes and the charging of electric vehicles. Interestingly, the space industry was an early adopter of solar power. The Vanguard 1 satellite, launched in 1958, continues to orbit Earth and relies on solar energy for its operations, making it the oldest human-made object still in space.
On a larger scale, solar energy is being generated worldwide. India has set up various solar farms across the country and under the able guidance of our Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi, country intends to take a pivotal jump in expansion of sustainable energy sector.
With extensive investments happening in Solar Energy across India and the Globe, we at Eterna are focused on developing and manufacturing solar power enclosures that can effectively harness this abundant energy source.
Some of the Enclosure Requirements for Solar Industry are:
Wind
Wind power has a long history, dating back centuries. The earliest known use of wind power technology can be traced back to Ancient China in 2000 BC. Moving forward to the 1940s, the first modern turbine was constructed in Vermont. Presently, India is at the forefront of wind energy with the biggest wind energy farm in India being in Rajasthan.
Furthermore, wind power possesses a unique characteristic in that it operates without the need for water. Consequently, this renewable energy source is gaining popularity and will continue to be a crucial component of our energy portfolio for years to come.
Wind energy stands out as one of the most cost-effective renewable sources available today. It plays a vital role in the global energy mix, accounting for 6.5% of all electricity generated in 2020.
Eterna has been manufacturing metal enclosures and other precision sheet metal components for Wind Energy sector not only in Mild Steel, but in Stainless, Aluminum and Copper as well.
Geothermal
Geothermal energy stands out as a highly adaptable and eco-friendly energy source. Its minimal carbon footprint sets it apart from other energy options, requiring only a few wells to be drilled without the need for transportation or extensive processing.
Moreover, the applications of geothermal energy are diverse and extensive. It can be utilized for heating buildings, cultivating plants in greenhouses, warming water for aquaculture, sterilizing milk, and even running beneath roads and walkways to prevent snow accumulation. The possibilities are virtually limitless.
Given its environmental benefits and wide array of uses, geothermal energy serves as an effective means to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels while ensuring a dependable and sustainable energy source.
In the wester world, geothermal energy is already being used to heat numerous households, with strong backing from Bill Gates, who recently included a geothermal startup in his clean energy investment portfolio. This renewable energy source harnesses the earth's natural heat to provide heating and cooling for homes without relying on fossil fuels.
Enclosure Requirements for Geothermal Energy include:
