TRINAMIC reveals progress on AutoR Heliostat Program
In July 2014 TRINAMIC first announced its cooperation with the German Aerospace Agency (DLR) Institute for Solar Research and the Technische Universität Hamburg-Harburg in the development of a low-cost, lightweight and highly efficient Autonomous Rim, or AutoR heliostat project. Heliostats are large mirror arrays that reflect sunlight onto a common point, generating heat that drives […]

TRINAMIC Supports Exciting Renewable Energy Project
Since 2006 TRINAMIC has been engaged in solar thermal energy, with a focus on motor control of heliostats and heliostat fields. Heliostats are mirrors that focus sunlight on a central receiver, which is typically mounted on a tower. The reflected thermal energy may be used for generation of electrical energy or to generate steam for […]
