Demonstrating that up to 25% H2 co-combustion is viable
ENGIE Laborelec has demonstrated that using a gas fuel mix with up to 25% hydrogen in an SGT-600 gas turbine is safe and requires no hardware modification.
Developing an energy community in a real-world rural neighborhood
In a pilot project in Oud-Heverlee (Belgium), ENGIE Laborelec is carrying out a real-world test to reduce residents’ dependence on the grid and maximize their renewable energy self-consumption.
EoW and first-generation turbines both merit rigorous inspection
In addition to end-of-warranty inspections, ENGIE Laborelec increasingly provides auditing services for wind turbines 10 to 15 years old. This helps owners decide whether and how they should further invest in these first-generation turbines.
More reliable PV plant performance assessment
ENGIE Laborelec’s PV HealthScan is a gamechanger for assessing and remediating underperformance in large PV installations. In 2021, our scan base has grown to 30 sites, representing more than 700 MWp.
Safe maintenance interval extension roll-out in gas-fired stations
In 2021, ENGIE Laborelec worked with OEMs to scrutinize the methodology for gas turbine maintenance interval extension (MIE), confirming that our approach is safe and can be used in most gas power stations.
Assessing PV plant design grid code compliance
ENGIE Laborelec has developed an innovative method to assess whether PV plant design and inverters comply with the grid code, involving setting up a sophisticated test bench.
Forward 2030
ENGIE Laborelec is partnering in FORWARD2030, an EC-funded project aiming to demonstrate the viability of a zero-carbon energy system which combines wind and tidal energy with energy storage solutions and green hydrogen production.
A comprehensive solution to maximize renewable power self-consumption
ENGIE Laborelec have deployed their reputed energy management system (EMS) to help port service provider Luik Natie maximize self-consumption of onsite renewable power production. Luik Natie offers warehousing and related transport services on the left bank of the Scheldt in…
Monitoring torsional vibrations in turbo groups at low cost
Power plant turbo groups are increasingly at risk of suffering damage from torsional vibrations. ENGIE Laborelec has developed and commercialized a cost-efficient early warning detection system.
