Electrical Energy solution: Electrical distribution and control for nuclear power plants

 
 

Value proposition

 

Main drivers

  • High growth potential due to investments in power generation in Asia
    - Nuclear market is moving from Europe and North America towards Asia (average of 6 reactors per year in China)
    - Need of high investments in China and India to support economic growth
    - 20% growth per year until 2010 (new plants, revamping and decommissioning)
  • The different markets
    - New projects of EPR reactors (European Pressurized Reactor) under EDF specifications in France (5 EPR), Italy (1 EPR), UK, Inde, Chine, South Africa, USA (2 EPR)
    - Other projects in China, India and Russia out of EPR
    - ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) and other research reactors
    - Nuclear plant retrofit : 25% of install based worldwide is more than 30 years old
           France (EDF, 58 reactors) , South Africa (Koeberg), Korea (Uljin), USA, UK, Russia
    - Reactor life extension (up to 60 years) in Spain and France
    - Decommissioning projects in UK and France
