Power Generation

The power generation industry is the growth engine for today’s society, and the expected energy demand for the coming years is growing exponentially.
The main challenges of operating the current generation plants are increasing the efficiency of the plants and reducing emissions, in compliance with international regulations. These two objectives may be achieved by improving the technologies and materials used in electrical power plants, which are increasingly exposed to greater operating requirements.
The future of global power generation is heading towards renewable and cleaner sources such as wind power plants, where the kinetic wind energy transforms directly into mechanical rotating energy through a wind turbine. Solar thermo-electrical power plants are also expected to increase, where solar energy heats a fluid that, in turn, turns a second fluid circulating through a series of pipes into steam, and photovoltaic plants use a field of solar cells that turn luminous energy directly into electricity.
