OMRON Electronic Components announced it will highlight its AC and DC high-power relays for renewable energy applications, along with its newly released weather sensor, at RE+ 25.
“RE+ is always a great opportunity to put our technology in front of the innovators driving clean energy forward,” said Kyle Alberti, business development manager at OMRON Electronic Components. “This year, we’re focused on demonstrating how our relays, monitoring solutions, and more can deliver high quality performance and reliability in renewable energy applications.”
At Booth V13535, OMRON will showcase its AC and DC high-power relays designed for renewable energy applications such as PV inverters, battery energy storage systems and more. Attendees can experience an interactive high-power relay demo featuring five relays that simulate real-world functionality, paired with a video animation highlighting the advantages of the particular AC or DC relay. OMRON will also present a comparative demo illustrating the benefits of PCB-mountable relays versus traditional contactors, displaying an assembled contactor side-by-side with a populated PCB relay board equivalent.
In addition to its relay portfolio, OMRON will demo its new weather sensor, developed in partnership with KS Technologies. The compact device enables operators across agriculture, smart cities and energy infrastructure to optimize performance and improve predictive maintenance. Shifting weather patterns and the growing frequency of extreme weather events have amplified the need for precise, localized weather sensing. The sensor addresses that demand with a design that is also simple to install and maintain.
“Our LoRa module is a key component of the weather sensor’s design, enabling long-range, low-power data transmission that’s ideal for clean energy installations,” said Bob Kressin, CEO at KS Technologies. “By combining KST’s wireless expertise with OMRON’s proven sensing technology, we’re delivering a solution that gives operators the data they need to boost efficiency.”
Alongside the relays and weather sensor, OMRON will also display an interactive high-power relay kiosk, technology value comparison of PCB relays vs. contactors and power monitoring solutions.
