“NGES’s competence is market knowledge and ability to

introduce clients to leading international equipment suppliers,
of e.g. solarmodules, small, medium sized windturbines,
batteries, for an optimal solution to their needs.

NGES has special profiency within hybrid systems where

hydrogen system components may be an alternative.

NGES can call on personnel within digital control systems for

optimal energy consumption in buildings.

Through the above, NGES provides for value creation and

SOLAR

NGES offers four different solar products:

▪ Solar panels for open ground installation
▪ Solar roof
▪ Solar car port
▪ Solar modules, building integrated semi
transparent glass modules

All installed for clean power production with

power to own building and for other own
consumption, such as electric vehicles or to grid.

Solar panels contain cells that convert light from

the sun into usable electricity. The panels have a
long operating life, estimated at more than 25
years. Pay back and financial yield vary with
geographic region, but is in some areas
competitive with fossil fuels.

In some regions, utilities will credit the home or

office building owner for the excess energy that
is generated in the solar panels and fed to the
grid during the day. Whether one is credited for
excess solar production or the electricity is
stored in a battery, one can expect lower and
more predictable utility costs.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS

EV charging stations from NGES are elegant in

design, provide a user experience, and makes a
powerful first impression to a sophisticated and
savvy audience.

They also make a smart investment, becoming a

way to monetize a building amenity while earning
the building owner additional green building
value.

Hospitals are a major hub for traffic in the city

with often thousands of people going in and out
every day.

With the growing prominence of electric vehicles

on the road, an increasing number of hospital
visitors are arriving in EVs. Given the sheer
volume of vehicular traffic hospitals receive and
the typical length of stay (healthcare workers may
work for 8+ hours), it makes sense to locate EV
charging stations in accessible locations at the
hospital.

Installing EV charging stations means more than

just providing charging opportunities for EV
drivers. The presence of EV charging stations
gives the hospital a modern and sustainable
appearance that fits the overall image that
healthcare facilities typically portray, healthy living,
scientific achievement and cutting-edge patient
care

Why should healthcare facilities Install EV

charging stations? Some of the benefits include:
▪ Providing a valuable amenity for doctors,
nurses, staff, patients, and visitors who
drive EVs.
▪ Enhancing the visual appeal of the facility
with high-tech charging stations
▪ Adding a “green” dimension to the
overall perception of the hospital

BUILDING INTEGRATED SOLAR PANELS

NGES offers solar panels for integration with

buildings.

Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is one of

the most promising and elegant ways of
producing on-site electricity directly from the
sun.

Solar modules integrated into the facade serve a

dual purpose: they replace conventional building
envelope materials and they generate power. Glass modules, hospital in Belgium, provide
shadow at the same time as producing
electricity.
If semi-transparant glass modules are used, an
additional shading is obtained.

Glass modules or bifacial modules for integration

with buildings may have a 30% higher yield over
conventional modules, given that the modules
produce electricity from radiation at the front
and the back side.

Future perspectives on glass modules include use

as curtain walls in the middle of city or as see-

WIND

NGES offers windturbines:

▪ For urban settings, vertical and
horizontal turbines
▪ For open air settings, either single or
wind park installations

Wind is a clean source of renewable energy that

produces no air or water pollution. And since
the wind is free, operational costs are nearly
zero once a turbine is erected.

Mass production and technology advances are

making turbines cheaper, and many governments
offer tax incentives to spur wind-energy
development.

HYBRID SYSTEMS

NGES offers combinations of power production

technologies coupled with storage technolgoies.

Independent power production systems normally

have more than one energy-source and thus are
called hybrid systems.

Most of the hybrid systems use PV in

combination with a wind generator and
optionally a diesel generator for the back-up-
function.

Hybrid systems ensure a continuous and reliable

electricity supply. They provide enough power to
satisfy domestic needs (lighting, communication,
refrigeration, water supply) as well as public
services (health centres, schools) and the
development of a local economy (small industries
and related services such as telecommunication
towers and water irrigation systems).

Hybrid systems can also be used for centralized

village power supply by serving a mini-grid.

Energy storage will be the critical component in future energy systems. There will be many solutions to
the energy storage conundrum and all of the solutions will be required if we are to harness renewable
energy successfully.

As more intermittent renewable power is assimilated into the network we will see an increasing
occurrence of plants being 'constrained off'. The need for energy storage and export of energy will
become increasingly apparent.

HYBRID SYSTEMS; BATTERIES

Hybrid solar systems generate power in the 1. DC distribution 2. Battery racks 3. Cooling arrangement

same way as a common grid-tie solar system but

use batteries to store energy for later use. This
ability to store energy enables most hybrid
systems to also operate as a backup power
supply during a blackout, similar to a UPS system.

NGES offers battery systems with high cycle

capability, high C rate and proven operational
durability in many applications.

Batteries are more and more finding applications

outside the regular energy storage area. Peak
load shaving is one such use, where the battery
caps the peak load and hence creates savings for
the battery owner.

HYDROGEN SYSTEMS

Energy stored in the form of hydrogen is a means for achieving not only a
greener power system but a greener energy system as a whole. Electrolysers
can convert variable and otherwise wasted renewable power into clean
green hydrogen which can be used for generating power, heat and transport
fuel without carbon emissions. Electrolysers may be activated during defined
periods to aid power system management and the generated hydrogen
exported to the industrial and transport sectors. Importantly the use of
hydrogen can serve to reduce the carbon footprint of sectors beyond the
power industry.

NGES supplies hydrogen system technology that efficiently converts excess

power and stores it as hydrogen, to be used when needed.

Suppliers that NGES cooperate with delivers products that can be used as a
flexible load which can be operated by power companies to absorb excess
power.

The market for the hydrogen produced from renewable electricity is

potentially huge. It is the market for a zero carbon footprint fuel. The
adoption of hydrogen in countries like Germany is now rapid.
