Generation
The process in which energy is transformed into electrical form capable of producing work. Today the majority of industry’s electric supply comes from the generation from coal, oil and natural gas. Dependence on imports and environmental challenges have opened the door for the development of alternative energy sources and new technologies. EETS engineers have strong experience in five areas of alternative energy generation: solar, wind, combined cycle, hydroelectric and geothermal. In addition, EETS has experience designing gas turbine generation projects. They have been provided engineering and design services for new power generation facilities, and support services for existing generation facilities.
Generation Projects
Solar
Solar power generation has emerged as the leading potential alternative to fossil fuel generation. It’s renewable and clean. It helps reduce our country’s dependency on fossil fuels, it leaves a small carbon footprint…
Wind
Wind power is safe, clean and increasingly more affordable. Like solar, this form of alternative energy decreases our dependency on foreign imports and has a less negative impact on the environment….
Gas Turbine
Gas turbine generation produces very low toxic emissions of CO and HC and runs on a variety of fuels including natural gas. Waste heat is dissispated almost entirely in the exhaust which in turn is available….
Combined Cycle
The term “combined cycle” refers to a gas turbine generator producing electricity while the waste heat is then used to generate steam (and additional electricity) via a steam turbine. This is an extremely efficient process….
Hydroelectric
Nearly 20% of the global electricity generation is through hydroelectric power. It is both a clean and efficient process. Once the hydroelectric plant is producing power, there is no direct waste and low levels of CO2 emissions….
Geothermal
Geothermal power is heat taken from the Earth’s core and used to heat water or another fluid to a specific temperature to turn a turbine generator, producing electricity. The water or other fluid is then cooled and returned back….
