Nuclear power plant operators around the world share a single goal – to produce sustainable and affordable energy, and to make it accessible to all. How well they deliver on this goal determines their future. GE-Alstom Nuclear Systems benefits from Alstom’s 60-year heritage in nuclear turbine islands, and GE’s 60-year experience designing, fueling and servicing nuclear power plants. We provide turbine island solutions for all reactor types that improve power output, reduce environmental footprint and lower operational cost.
Our cost-competitive integrated turbine island solutions bring together project management and technology expertise from both GE and Alstom. Together, we will help deliver the solutions you need, on time and on budget. Our turnkey turbine island offering includes the critical power generation equipment— from the turbine generator package, to the services, pumps and control systems. By designing, manufacturing, installing and maintaining nuclear plant power generationequipment, we can help you improve end-to-end efficiency.
We have developed an extensive worldwide network with engineering centers and manufacturing sites specialized in nuclear equipment. In addition, to strengthen our local presence, we have international joint ventures, partnerships and a robust alliance with many leading reactor suppliers. Half of the world’s nuclear power plants use our steam turbine technology, providing more than 200 GW to the grid – enough to meet the electricity needs of 175 million households. With Steam Power Systems, you’ll have more than a technology provider. You will have a real partner, standing with you from the first shovel in the ground through the production of every single megawatt.
Nuclear power plants are dependable, continuously generating large-scale, around-the-clock electricity for many months at a time, without interruption. These plants are primarily used to provide baseload power and are capable of load-follow operation to help ensure a stable grid when intermittent energies are part of the supply mix. Nuclear power is the only large scale energy source producing no CO2 or other greenhouse gases, thus fully contributing to mitigation of climate change.
• At the end of 2015, more than 440 commercial nuclear power reactors (>400 GW) will be in operation and will provide about 12 percent of the world’s electricity.
• More than 140 GW of new capacity are foreseen by 2025.
• Fifty-three percent of the global demand will come from China.
Nuclear Industry Drivers:
• Dependable energy solutions
• Predictable and low cost of electricity
• Availability and grid stability
• Low emissions
