Power Generation market
The twentieth century saw technologically advanced societies becoming increasingly dependent on energy sources. Energy demand is constantly growing also today and, despite the increase of the adoption of renewable sources, fossil and nuclear power plants are today and will remain in the future, the main source for energy production.
Fossil and nuclear power plants use Steam Turbines and/or Gas Turbines to transform the energy from the fuel into kinetic energy, and kinetic energy into electricity through generators. Also power stations using some renewable sources like geothermal and new solar systems adopt Steam Turbines.
Turbine Blades are, together with rotors and casings, the main components of Turbines. They are strongly related to the efficiency and the life of the machines. For this reason they are also a critical component.
New power plants need to be built worldwide to meet the growing power demand and many existing power plants will have to be refurbished, too. The OEMs that build these plants and their Turbines, in order to compete in the global market of Power Generation are forced to offer efficient plants at aggressive costs and with short delivery times. Therefore they require to their suppliers:
- Top level quality
- Competitive costs
- Reliability in deliveries
C*Blade personnel consider all these aspects an essential part of their everyday work and their focus is on the continuous improvement of the performances and the process to pursue customer satisfaction.
