In recent years, software evolution has completely revolutionized the way we work with drives, right from the design stage, through to commissioning and operation. Now we've released MyDrive Suite, a software hub where all Danfoss Drives software tools are centrally located.

Data centers can reduce their impact to the point of climate neutrality in three ways, all without compromising data availability: lowering power usage effectiveness (PUE), integrating renewables and storage into data centers, and using waste heat from data centers for heating and/or desalination.

Using more efficient motors and drives is the foundation of an efficient system. Variable speed operation also leads to significant energy savings (in the range of 15-40%). But how about the settings of the drive? Do they have an impact on the power consumption of the electric motor?

AC drives technology allows for flexible use of green electricity, for example in district heating and cooling with thermal storage in hot or cold water tanks for use when green electricity is not available. Likewise, surplus green electricity can be channeled into industrial processes – and into the transport sector, which will absorb more of the green power produced and exploit the actual capacity.

Smart grids with integrated energy storage offer a sustainable alternative to the traditional electricity networks based on fossil fuels - and Danfoss solutions support the transition

It’s estimated that more than 30% of all the global clean water produced for household use/cities is lost in leakage. Often digitalization and VSDs are the key components to help limit water scarcity issues instead of creating new water facilities.

The basic configuration of electrical power systems for industrial, commercial and residential applications has altered little for decades. But now disruptive new technologies – hybridization and power conversion – are about to bring big changes. And there will be significant benefits for those who adopt it.

Across the entire Danfoss drives product range, we offer drives of varying supply voltages, power ranges, and IP classes, ensuring you get a solution fit for your crane needs.

Cranes are typically used in manufacturing or maintenance processes where productivity and safety are considered the most important requirements. Preventing the load from swinging has been a primary concern for Danfoss engineers for years! And now, our experts have engineered the solution: The future of cranes is steady, reliable and innovative.
