DAT Solar provides energy-saving solutions from factory rooftops to production machinery

Analyzing the energy usage situation in Vietnam reveals that the industrial sector accounts for over 47% of the total national energy consumption. Therefore, utilizing green, clean, efficient, and economical energy is a top priority for developing a sustainable “green industry” in Vietnam.

Energy saving – a pressing issue today

With the pressure to ensure national energy security, the government is urging and mobilizing businesses with high electricity consumption to participate in load-shedding programs, use electricity efficiently during peak hours, or invest in renewable energy solutions to supplement the insufficient power supply.

Responding to the government’s call, many businesses have been reassessing their energy usage, especially in systems with high electricity consumption, such as compressed air systems, boiler systems, electric motors, HVAC systems, etc. However, businesses face various obstacles, as the adjustment of load-shedding time by the Vietnam Electricity (EVN) is from 8 am to 4 pm, precisely during the main working hours. Implementing automation solutions to improve productivity and energy savings in our country still faces many difficulties. Investing in renewable energy sources, particularly solar power systems, involves considerable costs.

DAT’s solutions for effective energy saving in industrial production

According to evaluations, the technical potential for energy saving in industrial production in Vietnam is from 20 to 30%, with some areas even reaching 40%. The core of efficient energy use lies in coordinating four methods:

– Monitoring and upgrading existing systems to save energy, reduce energy waste, and unnecessary energy consumption;

– Changing habits and raising awareness of energy-saving among users;

– Applying modern technologies to increase productivity and save energy;

– Using “green” energy sources.

Among these, applying modern technologies and increasing the use of renewable energy sources is a more sustainable and beneficial approach for businesses. Currently, DAT has comprehensive solutions to help businesses maximize electricity savings. Some typical technologies that have proven effective include:

+ Designing and installing high-performance solar power systems. This solution allows businesses to utilize idle factory rooftops to save billions of VND in electricity costs each year and can sell surplus electricity generated by the system to EVN at the government’s purchase price of 1,940 VND/kWh.

+ Replacing outdated and energy-consuming technology with modern, energy-efficient equipment. Applying automation technology in production.

+ Installing high-efficiency electrical and mechanical devices, including motors, lighting, pumps, and thermal and ventilation devices.

ƯApplying speed control VFDs for motors in factories according to real demand: this method has proven to be an effective energy-saving solution in various applications such as compressors, steam fans, crushers, and pumps. Besides electricity savings, using inverters also provides a soft start for motors, protects the motor, prevents pressure drops, and reduces damage to the pneumatic system.

+ Applying technologies to measure, analyze, monitor, and alert in case of leaks or energy losses, making it easy for the factory to manage electricity usage.

Energy saving is a long-term challenge that requires factories and businesses to have a long-term vision and apply synchronized, flexible solutions suitable for their business models. Moving towards and investing in a “‘green factory” is not only a strategic activity that brings many benefits to the business but also enhances responsibility, maintaining the company’s image in the community.

For 17 years, DAT has successfully researched and applied many breakthrough solutions in the field of automation, such as using servo motors to save up to 80% of electricity for hydraulic plastic molding machines and using INVT inverters to save 40% electricity for Hoa Phat Steel Company.

In addition, DAT is also a pioneer in the solar energy field with specialized and comprehensive solutions from design, installation, operation to warranty and maintenance to provide optimal performance and efficiency for thousands of businesses nationwide.

We have gained the trust of customers in various fields such as High Voltage Power Grid Company of Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho Power Company, Phuong Hau Rubber Company, Solagron Company, Yteco Enterprise, etc.
