Power Accessories

Today, energy demands are driving development in offshore and unconventional sources for oil & gas. This means that investment will be flowing into the sector.

Oil & gas projects cost escalation can easily compromise the viability of new projects. That is why meticulous project execution, a value-enriching offer, advanced engineering skills and services are more important today than ever before.

Company planning budgets assume that increased spending will generate profits, but they want projects to start up on time and perform to expectation in constantly changing conditions.

That requires high-performance equipment, easier installation, turnkey electrical systems, and a host of services to guarantee end-to-end quality, especially in terms of supply chain commitments and engineering support.

The international wind industry market is continuing to grow and diversify geographically.

Despite occasional lulls, wind power has continued to be an attractive alternative to fossil fuels and nuclear plants. It must increase if high expectations are to be met. Declining wind turbine prices make wind power even more cost-effective, while recent positive trends include larger wind turbines.

Growth demands new kinds of expertise. Onshore, upscaled turbines and generators mean that networks need room for added output, multiple connections and reliable links. Offshore projects (50 to 200 km out) require robust submarine cables, precision maritime installation, and efficient long-distance transmission.

Above all, variable wind energy calls for overall grid stability through surveillance, control and communications.
