Ingenious DROMEC Winch System for Rotating Solar Fields by Floating Solar

Back to all projects

Floating Solar constructs rotating, floating solar fields as a sustainable solution for generating solar energy on water. These islands are the result of collaboration between various disciplines in the field of renewable energy. DROMEC Winches has made an ingenious contribution to this sustainable concept with a combined winch system.

Floating Solar designs the solar islands to withstand Dutch weather conditions. With maximum efficiency and minimal ecological impact, the system is truly unique. From the very beginning of the design phase, DROMEC Winches has been involved in the development of this concept. This close collaboration resulted in the realization of three solar islands at PWN’s water treatment facility in Andijk.

Control Software

What makes Floating Solar’s solar fields unique is the use of the winch system developed and controlled by DROMEC Winches. The Dutch company holds a patent on this system. With the help of Optimal Solar Tracking (OST), the solar islands achieve maximum output. The close collaboration between Floating Solar and DROMEC’s solar specialists ensured that all ingredients for optimization were present. The control software represents a unique solution in this sustainable development.

DROMEC winches. Your movement in good hands.

Dynamic and Innovative in winches, winchsystems, controls and software. With our enthousiastic team, we develop  from small till  very big & complex systems with the highest demands in terms of safety and ease of use. We also work very closely with certified body’s as DNV, GL, BV, ABS, Lloyds so your winches and systems can be completely certified at our own company together with you.

It often starts with a good idea, preferably on a piece of scrap paper. After an initial consultation, we prepare one or more proposals, including a target price and preliminary drawing. Your idea or problem, always remains central in this. If the feeling on both sides is good, we start. Thanks to our own inhouse developed and written project software, your project stays in the picture and under control from start to finish, including the planning and delivery time.

We are LRQA ISO 9001 certified. Our policy is to maintain a healthy business by continuously improving the quality of our winches, drives, software and services. We strive for respect for people and nature, which contributes to the quality of our work. You can find our full policy statement here.
