Prothea since October 2009 is implementing the development of 3 solar photovoltaic projects totalling ca. 10MW in Central and Southern Italy.
Thanks to its community and environmental oriented approach, Prothea is developing in a timely manner the different projects. Key of its success is the involvement of the local community: land owners, public administrations and local technical partners are all involved in identifying the best solution to provide renewable energy to the community, minimizing the environmental impact.
Each possible project is pre-screened using an Environmental Impact Assessment procedure that involves biological, geological and hydrological surveys. Only those projects that guarantee the smallest impact on the environment have been selected as location of our power plants.
Principal geographic focus is on the projects is Central and Southern Italy: projects are located in Calabria and Lazio.
Our project design focus on technical aspects (i.e., fixed-axis type plants to be installed over flat lands, limited wind exposition), which, in conjunction with high irradiance (>1350 equivalent hours) and close grid connection (usually on site), guarantee strong economics for the project.
An additional pipeline of projects in Marche and Abruzzo, totalling 5 MW, has been recently started.

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer

HPS EnduraCoil is a high-performance cast resin transformer designed for many demanding and diverse applications while minimizing both installation and maintenance costs. Coils are formed with mineral-filled epoxy, reinforced with fiberglass and cast to provide complete void-free resin impregnation throughout the entire insulation system. HPS EnduraCoil complies with the new NRCan 2019 and DOE 2016 efficiency regulations and is approved by both UL and CSA standards. It is also seismic qualified per IBC 2012/ASCE 7-10/CBC 2013. Cast resin transformers are self-extinguishing in the unlikely event of fire, environmentally friendly and offer greater resistance to short circuits. HPS also offers wide range of accessories for transformer protection and monitoring requirements.
