Wind power is becoming increasingly important, even in regions where wind farms were not previously considered viable due to their sheltered location. For such situations, Danish wind power specialist Vestas has developed the V112-3.0 MW, a powerful and reliable system that is suitable for land-based use all across the globe in locations with low to medium wind speeds. The rotor blades of the V112-3.0 are 59 meters long and weigh around 50 tons. But even despite their enormous size, Vestas spared no effort in bringing one of these giants to HANNOVER MESSE 2010.

The Loschwitzer bridge in Dresden is known by the city's inhabitants as the "Blaues Wunder". But now Dresden can lay claim to yet another "blue wonder" in the shape of the eneramic fuel cell system developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems (IKTS). The system is celebrating its world premiere at HANNOVER MESSE 2010. No bigger than a shoe box, the small blue container holds a particularly lightweight, user-friendly power generator that can transform commercially available liquid gas from cylinders and cartridges into electricity.

Efficient order-picking is one of the trickiest tasks in the field of logistics. However, in future, the whole process could run much more smoothly with help from Robo-Pick from SSI Schäfer. In addition to managing 2, 400 picks per hour, the fully-automatic Robo-Pick can also be integrated seamlessly into an existing warehouse architecture. The company is presenting its new innovation at HANNOVER MESSE 2010.

Just imagine a mini cogeneration system that produces heat and power but is no bigger than a washing machine. What's more, it can also be used for cooling purposes if required. The advantage of the system is that, by generating power when it is heating or cooling, it helps to protect the environment and cuts energy costs. Fuchs Aggregatebau is putting this great all-rounder on show at HANNOVER MESSE 2010.

As a key communication tool, texts can determine whether a brand or product is a success. With its new software, Acrolinx ensures texts are understandable and easily translatable, and makes tricky terminology accessible for the reader. In 2010, the company is presenting its products for the first time at HANNOVER MESSE.

Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays are the monitors of the future. They are used primarily for cellphones, MP3 players and digital cameras. Their main benefits are that they consume little energy and display moving images perfectly. At HANNOVER MESSE 2010, Saarland University is presenting the latest generation of these displays.
