Company profileAORA (formerly EDIG Solar) has developed an advanced solar-hybrid gas-turbine engine (IP protected). Our system is the world’s first commercial application of such technology, capable of producing power and heat energy around the clock, on demand 24/7.Year of establishment: 2005No. of employees: 12

Background of the companyFollowing a successful pilot installation in 2006 in Nanjing, China proving the technological concept of being able to solarize a gas-turbine engine, the company is set to erect its first commercial unit, near Eilat by March 2009.Based on currently available data, the AORA system will use less land to generate considerably more usable power and energy, and significantly more revenue at lower installed cost than any near-term solution to solar energy generation available in the world.

Technologies & productsThe system offers a unique modular solution to solar power generation, comprising very small base units (100kWe / 170kW heat) which are linked together like Lego-like pieces into a centrally controlled power plant, tailored to the customers’ needs. When the available sunlight is not sufficient (during cloud cover or at night), the system operates on any alternative fuel sources, thereby guaranteeing an uninterrupted power supply, 24hr/day.

Objectives / Target companiesSeeking strategic partners for Joint Ventures in Israel and around the world.

Company profile.enVerid Systems introduces a new energy saving offering for Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, based on breakthrough air treatment technology. The HLR (HVAC Load Reduction) module, the flagship product of enVerid has successfully shown energy savings of 40% in demo installations in the US and Israel. enVerid operates in US, Singapore and Israel and has partnerships with major companies in the HVAC industry and the green building arena.Year of establishment: 2010No. of employees: 6

Background of the companyIt is widely known that outside air ventilation accounts for a major part of an HVAC system’s overall energy consumption. This ventilation is necessary in order to counter the buildup of indoor air contaminants like CO2 and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Reducing the amount of outside air, if possible, would result in a substantial reduction of energy consumption. The idea behind enVerid is simple but powerful: eliminate the unwanted contaminants instead of replacing the air, and achieve two objectives: significant savings and better air quality.

Examples of projectsA prototype HLR module was installed at Elbit Systems in Haifa in 2012 demonstrating substantial energy savings and a commercial HLR demo module was installed in San Antonio, Texas in 2013. Data from those installations have shown energy savings of 40% during the summer

Technologies & productsGeneral description: enVerid Systems offers a new air treatment and energy saving technology for HVAC in commercial buildings. The key idea is to reduce the intake of outside air by the HVAC system. Outside air is used in order to maintain good air quality inside the building but since it is hot and humid significant amount of energy it required in order to cool it. The reduction in outside air is achieved by a number new material technologies developed in the last decade at leading US universities and government labs, and is enhanced with novel mechanical designs and sophisticated software that optimizes the energy performance and creates a holistic solution for air recycling. There is a considerable reduction in the intake of fresh air and hence a significant amount of energy is saved.

Function of the product(s): The HLR module enables a very large reduction of outside air without compromising indoor air quality, providing substantial energy savings. The HLR is designed as an add-on for retrofits to existing HVAC systems, allowing simple and low cost installation without replacement of pre-existing infrastructure. In development, as the next-generation offerings, are integrated products for new installations and a solution for smaller, distributed HVAC systems. Energy savings can vary from 20% to 50% depending on a number of factors like climate and building occupancy. All products have in common the use of periodically replaceable cartridges with the sorbent materials, which will be controlled and distributed solely by enVerid systems.

Objectives / Target companiesThe company’s objective is to establish channels to commercial real estate customers, including HVAC engineering and contracting companies, real estate developers and management companies, utilities and regulatory agencies, and large owner-occupied businesses in retail, offices and public buildings.

Objectives / Target companiesGridON offers FCL solutions for utility companies, power generation companies (including renewable energy generation), as well as for industrial plants with high power consumption.

Company profileGridON sets the new standard for electrical grid reliability, safety, performance and efficiency. GridON’s Fault Current Limiter (FCL) is transforming the electrical grid landscape. The system planner can now design a network without overrating and compensating for faults, and the system operator can safely interconnect sub-grids. The wind farm does not burden the network with its intermittent generation. The substation equipment is protected from devastating, wildly propagating, fault currents. The FCL suppresses prospective fault currents on distribution and transmission grids, provides unique and unmatched control over disruptions and power outages. Consequently, it contributes to power quality and reliability improvements, the extension of capital equipment useful life and dramatic savings in capital expenditure.In bringing this groundbreaking technology to market, GridON entered a strategic partnership with long-established Wilson Transformer Company of Australia (www.wtc.com.au), a leading transformer manufacturer. The industry has recognized GridON’s innovative solution. GridON was the recipient of a coveted innovation award from GE‘s Ecomagination - Powering the Grid Challenge, and was awarded the Smart Grid Award in the annual European ACES Academic Enterprise Awards.Year of establishment: 2009No. of employees: Under 10

Background of the companyFaults within electrical power systems are inevitable and can cause stresses on the network equipment. Existing techniques to manage these fault currents are costly and may negatively impact power quality, stability, reliability and security of supply. Fault current levels are therefore becoming a significant barrier to the installation of low-carbon and other generation facilities.The roots of GridON’s technology are in the research and development conducted for the past eight years by a multi-disciplinary team of researchers with grounding in electrical engineering, mathematics, magnetism and superconductivity from Bar-Ilan University and Ricor. In bringing this groundbreaking, patent-pending technology to market, GridON entered a strategic partnership with long-established Wilson Transformer Company.

Examples of projectsGridON’s FCL was selected by The Energy Technologies Institute to be tested in a £4m project on a live power network at UK Power Networks.

Technologies & productsA novel, saturated-core Fault Current Limiter (FCL), which is based on standard transformer manufacturing technology. GridON offers a portfolio of single-phase and 3-phase solutions for distribution and transmission networks, supporting a full range of mid to high voltage ratings. The device instantaneously turns itself into a very high impedance system upon current surges, and limits the current for as long as required to clear the fault. It recovers immediately thereafter and thus can protect from multiple faults occurring in quick succession. In addition to the device fault currents suppression ability, it facilitates current regulation and reactive power balancing.
