In the Rotterdam region, over 13.000 connected charging stations are helping to balance the power grid. With its SMATCH smart-charging solution, ENGIE Laborelec is providing the brains behind what is arguably the biggest smart-charging site in the world.
Predicting wind flow and speed comes up against limitations in modern large-scale wind farms, or farms in somewhat complex environmental settings with features such as distant mountains, whether using microscale or mesoscale weather models. Laborelec is engaged in a project…

Carbon capture: What are the options for industry?
Due to the extremely long delivery times of new transformers from well-known manufacturers, asset managers across industries are looking for alternative suppliers in Asia or seeking ways to extend the lifetime of their existing transformer fleet. The trend concerns all…
Steam turbines are subject to accelerated ageing due to flexible operation imposed by the energy transition. There have even been an increasing number of events involving rotor cracking.
Many CCGT operators find it difficult to troubleshoot gas turbine performance issues.Yet finding the cause of low power and efficiency can be surprisingly easy if you know where to look at.
Power generators age with operation and this is accelerated by the flexible operation dictated by the energy transition. Predictive maintenance, based on monitoring the condition of the stator and rotor windings, is of strategic importance.
Filmed in collaboration with Flemish TV Kanaal Z, a report featuring CEO Luc Goossens, with input from several colleagues, explains some key parts of what Laborelec, part of ENGIE Research and Innovation, does in its work supporting ENGIE and other…
