My local IKS appears to be being tested regularly and I can attest it works fine...

I watched the movie 2012 again last night - a reminder of where this thread all started from. ;-)

Siemens, Gamesa to form world’s largest wind farm
June 18, 2016
Print Send to Friend

MADRID/FRANKFURT: Siemens and Spain’s Gamesa agreed on Friday to create the world’s biggest builder of windfarms, with the German company paying 1 billion euros ($1.13 billion) for a majority stake in the combined business.

The group would bring together Siemens’ strength in offshore wind power and Gamesa’s leading role in developing markets.

Months in the making, the venture would overtake Denmark’s Vestas to become the world’s largest wind farm manufacturer by market share, operating in the mature North American and European markets and fast-growing markets such as India, Mexico and Brazil.

Engineering company Siemens, which has struggled to make its wind turbine business profitable, will take a 59 per cent stake in the company but not have a majority on the board, Gamesa said in a statement to Spain’s market regulator.

In return for taking the leading role, Siemens will pay Gamesa’s shareholders, which include Spanish utility firm Iberdrola, 1 billion euros in cash in the form of an extraordinary dividend.

The businesses will be combined within Gamesa which will retain its Madrid listing.

The Spanish group is creating new shares to be offered to Siemens, whose other products include trains, power network equipment and medical body scanners.

Cost savings and benefits from the new business, which will be operational by the end of the first quarter of next year, will be worth 230 million euros of earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) within four years, Gamesa said.

The combined group’s order portfolio would be worth some 20 billion euros, it added.

Siemens is dominant in the offshore wind market but relatively weak onshore.

Gamesa is strong in emerging markets, notably Latin America, where it expanded when the Spanish government cut subsidies to clean energy producers in 2013.

Iberdrola, which backed the proposed merger, will see its stake in Gamesa diluted to 8 per cent from almost 20 per cent.

Shares in Gamesa, which were suspended from trading after the initial announcement, reopened up 5.3 per cent at 1245 GMT, against a 2.1 per cent rise on Spain’s blue-chip Ibex index.

The combined business will have 21,000 employees, an installed power base of 69 gigawatts, and will be headquartered in Spain.

Siemens will have five out of the 13 board members in the new group, Gamesa said, with Iberdrola having two of its own.

The deal would be the latest in a string of mergers in the wind industry.

Having weathered years of overcapacity and losses, it is now thriving as demand for carbon-free electricity increases.

Getting bigger should also help to lower costs, one of the industry’s key targets in its race for more efficient turbines, which in turn will make it more competitive compared to conventional sources of energy such as gas and coal.

How the sun is making water safe to drink

For many people around the world, getting access to clean, safe drinking water is still a challenge.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), "at least" 1.8 billion people around the world still use a drinking water source that is contaminated with human waste. The WHO says that dirty drinking water causes an estimated 502,000 deaths from diarrhea a year.

In India, one non-profit organization is looking to the skies to purify water. SunSaluter have developed a "solar panel rotator" which follows the sun during daylight hours, boosting efficiency and producing clean drinking water simultaneously.

The potential of solar power as a clean energy source is significant: In 2014 the International Energy Agency stated that the sun could be the planet's biggest source of electricity by 2050.

"We understand the cause is always the same for energy poverty and… clean water," Sambit Sasmal, country director for SunSaluter in India, told CNBC's Sustainable Energy.

"Focusing… (on) that, SunSaluter is basically an ultra-low cost solar tracker which just uses gravity and water to increase the efficiency of solar panels," Sasmal added.

Users of the system collect four liters of water in two bottles, which are then attached to a "drip mechanism."

A counterweight is attached to the other side, with the water in the bottles filtered and deposited into a container. The bottles become lighter as their water is filtered, and the solar panel tilts to follow the sun.

SunSolar say that, at the end of the day at least four liters of clean water and 30 percent more power will have been produced.

The benefit of the device is being felt in less developed areas. "SunSaluter is beneficial to rural areas because it's… cheaper," Santosh Jha, product innovation engineer at SunSaluter, said. "One automated unit is enough for 25 houses in rural areas," he added.

To date, SunSaluter say that their devices have been deployed in 16 countries, impacting 8,000 people and helping to slash costs by 10 to 20 percent.
