Energy
The energy transition through the lens of industrial engineering: generate renewable, store, decarbonize and consume better. Each topic gathers technologies, standards and players — from the PV module to the electrolyzer.
Conventional sources
Natural gas & LNG
LNG chain (liquefaction, carriers, regas), gas turbines, biomethane, flexible transition fuel.
Explore →Oil & fuels
Refining, fuels (EN 228/590), products, and low-carbon fuels (SAF, HVO, e-fuels).
Explore →Coal
Existing fleet in managed decline: ultra-supercritical, emissions control (FGD, SCR), flexibility, biomass co-firing, closure.
Explore →Nuclear energy
Dispatchable low-carbon: PWR/EPR/SMR, fuel cycle, safety I&C (IEC 61513).
Explore →Renewables
Photovoltaics
PERC/TOPCon/HJT modules, inverters & MPPT, DC safety, IEC 62446 commissioning, IEC 61724 monitoring, O&M.
Explore →Solar thermal
CSP (trough, tower), dispatchable molten-salt storage, solar industrial heat (SHIP), district heating.
Explore →Wind power
Onshore & offshore, IEC 61400 series, SCADA 61400-25, loads & fatigue, condition monitoring, repowering.
Explore →Hydropower
World's largest renewable source: run-of-river, dams, dam safety, ancillary services (inertia, black-start), small hydro.
Explore →Biomass & bioenergy
Combustion & CHP, biogas & anaerobic digestion (biomethane), biofuels & pellets. Logistics, dust ATEX, RED II sustainability.
Explore →Geothermal
Electricity (flash, binary ORC) and heat. Baseload; risks at drilling, fluid chemistry (H₂S), induced seismicity (EGS).
Explore →Marine energy
Tidal range & stream (predictable tides), wave. Still largely pre-commercial: extreme marine environment, offshore O&M.
Explore →Grids, carriers & storage
Electricity & grid
Transmission & distribution, HVDC, IEC 61850 digital substations, real-time balancing, smart grid, cybersecurity.
Explore →Hydrogen
Alkaline/PEM/SOEC electrolysis, power-to-X, H₂ safety & ATEX, RFNBO, steel & ammonia (ISO 22734, ISO 19880).
Explore →Storage / BESS
Li-ion LFP/NMC, long duration, EMS/BMS, ancillary services, fire safety (IEC 62933, NFPA 855, UL 9540A).
Explore →Pumped-storage hydro
The storage giant: ~90% of world capacity. Two reservoirs, reversible pump-turbines, variable speed, inertia & black-start.
