Solar Power & Renewable Energy

Renewable energy plant design – manufacture – construction & installation

Uneek Bending & Uneek Energy designed, fabricated & built the solar power plant for the ANU in Canberra, ACT.

Our international partners also design thermal and photovoltaic solar plants & have installed the largest photovoltaic solar energy plant in Spain, with a total power of 300 kWp

Solar Thermal Receiver (Once through boiler).
Customer : Australian National University (ANU)
Radiant Heater Coil and frame for receiving concentrated solar radiation from 500m2 big dish at ANU.
The receiver is designed for peak steam condition values of up to:
– Receiver Inlet: 50 °C, 160 bar
– Receiver Exit: 600 •c, 150 bar

Materials:
– Inconel Alloy 601 and alloy 600 (UNS No;6600) seamless pipe and tube
– ASTM A240 TP316 stainless steel

Welding Processes/ Procedures
– Manual TIG process

Fabrication Standards/ National Codes :
– Coil -AS 4037-1999 Table 8.4 Class 1 Piping
– Frame-AS/NZS 15554.6 Table 6.3.2 Class B

Quality Assurance Requirements:
– Material certification for all materials
– Trial assembly of the unit
– 100% radiography on butt weld joints
– LPI on attachment welding
– Hydrotest of assembly, Drain & dry assembly
– Paint with Pyromark high temperature paint
– Controlled Heat Treatment (670 degC)
– Fitment of thermocouples on inside and outside of coil

Uneek project for the ANU, Canberra.

Wind energy is an integral part of the energy mix. Our partners have built 13 wind farms and two test fields since 1997.

We also specialise in repowering wind turbines of the first generation & replacing them with modern turbines.

Our partners, PN Power Plants built the first German offshore wind farm in 2001, the first Wind farm worldwide built outside the 12-mile zone in a water depth of 30 meters.

We have the technological lead for realising offshore wind farms at a great distance from the coast. The requirements for planning, logistics and material procurement are much higher than projects near coast in shallow waters.
