Energy Environment
Given the exponential growth in energy needs (in the last century energy consumption has increased twentyfold, while the population has only quadrupled), there is now abundant scientific data encouraging different economic players to urgently deal with the situation.
The energy sector is facing a range of challenges including ensuring efficiency and energy independence while transitioning towards more eco-friendly energy sources. To manage this energy mix transformation and keep up with market developments, energy industry players have put innovation at the heart of their approach by identifying green energy sources, improving energy efficiency and using smart, secure digital technologies.
This significant change has a direct impact on the value chain and energy sector from engineering, via energy production and equipment, to network management. Astek is a major player in this transformation and provides its expertise in different areas:
- Developing smart grids, for example with connected meters
- Digital transformation with the development of online stores and mobile applications for maintenance staff
- “Green” engineering: batteries and energy storage systems; water current turbine and wind turbine design
- Developing new nuclear power plants (EPRs) which are more effective (modelling, simulations, NS, etc.)
- Gas and oil engineering: piping, gas pipeline monitoring, large-scale project management
Thanks to our multidisciplinary expertise, we are a key player in the field of energy transition.
