“BARVA” Innovation Center was established in 2005 in Armenia at the basis of research branch of “Transistor” manufacturing incorporation by Dr. Aram H. Vardanyan. “Transistor” incorporation was created in 1958 and was one of the most prominent organizations in USSR in design and production of force semiconductor devices and powerful transformation machinery.
The Center’s predecessor was a famous R&D center in the Soviet Union specialized in power electronics and semiconductor design. The history of the Center’s innovation and R&D is rich with traditions crystallized over the last 40 years. Its management includes well-respected scientists and engineers, who have extensive experience in R&D and innovation. The Center’s R&D and its innovation processes are integral parts of its culture and values-driven tradition. The Center’s innovation process goes through entire product life cycle starting with concept development and implementation, and end with market introduction.
The Center is intensively engaged in scientific and technical R&D and innovation as well as in manufacturing and installation/setup of high-tech devices and equipment, including in particular, hail suppression systems Zenith®, defrosting systems Antifrost® for protection of plants and orchards, rain stimulation systems Rainstim®, systems for pruducing pellets from dry biomass(straw,leaves,thin tree branches), high-efficiency boilers Pyrogen® working on biomass, systems for producing syngas Ecogas®, solar (photovoltaic) system and portable energy blocks, balancing support units, etc.
