ENGIE Laborelec recently became accredited for wind turbine power performance measurements according to IEC61400-12-1. The company’s expertise is based on valuable experience gained over many LiDAR measurement campaigns, on both onshore and offshore wind turbines.
Laborelec is investigating a technique to chemically clean boiler tubes in a heat recovery steam generator while still in operation instead of during an outage. The results of lab tests are promising.
Laborelec is conducting tests on the newest generation of PV modules with capacities exceeding 600 Wp. Stress tests are being carried out both at Linkebeek and at the El Aguila plant in Chile.
ENGIE Laborelec’s research into exhaust gas recirculation, to optimize post-combustion capture on GTs, provides valuable insights for next-generation flexible CCGTs plants.
In 2023, we collaborated with OutOfUse to send in nearly 600 "out-of-use" business laptops and docking stations for treatment and dismantling. The material value of our "trash" collection was astonishingly valued at €6,938. This sum was then donated to NatuurPunt,…
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.
Laborelec, part of ENGIE Research & Innovation, is further widening its research into how biodiversity is affected by public lighting, conducting collaborative projects in Jette and Turnhout, Belgium. Laborelec experts, in collaboration with CRIGEN, are also working on a software…
