About me
Currently I work in CsanyiGroup as owner and application developer of ePlusMenuCAD - software for advanced electrical design within AutoCAD platform. I also work in Schneider Electric at position technical support and project team. My very best skills are (beside coding) designing of low voltage busbar trunking systems (Canalis) and low/medium voltage switchgears.
I enjoy sharing knowledge with others, so I got an idea to make a huge collection of electrical e-books, manuals from various authors and also technical publications from well-known manufacturers ABB, Schneider Electric, Siemens and Danfoss. All ebooks are on One place, completely free to download.
If you are looking for more specific articles about low/medium/high voltage and renewable energy articles, I suggest you to take a look at CsanyiGroup's page Technical Articles.
Best regards, Edvard Csanyi

Air Turbines – Important Informations
The futuristic look or the ‘whirling’ noise of windmills is unpleasant to some people, more so if you live close to one.
However, harnessing wind power is important, so a number of alternatives to a generic windmill have been proposed. An Ontario-based company is working to place “turbines” floating hundreds of feet high above the ground.

Building Automation
Raising Your Intelligent Building’s IQ According to the United States’ Energy Information Administration, America spends more than $500 billion per year on energy, 39% of which – or, a cool $195 billion – goes to powering buildings, about half of them on corporate campuses. (Though in its “Smarter Planet” initiative, IBM pegs building energy consumption more in the neighborhood of 70%, which would put spending more in the range of $300 billion.)

Energy Efficency
Energy efficiency to shine in 2010 Solar and wind power may get the headlines and attention, but green-tech experts say 2010 will be dominated by energy efficiency, the mundane but critical process of cutting the amount of gas and electricity that homes and offices use.
Energy Secretary Steven Chu regularly describes himself as an “energy-efficiency nut.
