What is the challenge?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Global electricity demand is expected to increase by 75% to 150% by 2050, mainly due to the penetration of wind and solar PV in the energy mix; and the electrification of the transportation, industrial and residential sectors.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This transformation of the electricity generation system, which aims to contribute forcefully to achieving a climate-neutral future, faces a series of technological challenges such as improving generation efficiency<\/strong>; adapting to new uses and scales<\/strong>; developing new<\/strong> generation technologies<\/strong> and energy vectors<\/strong>; storage<\/strong> systems; and the circularity of<\/strong> equipment and components.<\/p>\n\n\r\n <\/section>\r\n \r\n\n\n\n

Advantages and benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At ITA, we face the design and redesign of power generation equipment from our experience in the different physical phenomena that make up these systems, with expert teams in fluid dynamics, mechanics, electrochemistry, materials and, of course, electrical systems and power electronics; generating multidisciplinary teams<\/strong> working with our own design methodologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We provide support from the initial design phases through the development of models and digital twins<\/strong>, to prototyping and experimental testing. We have a large team of digital twin development experts with capabilities in a wide range of simulation software. Our laboratories and facilities allow us to develop and test experimental prototypes<\/strong> in relevant environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our experience in sustainable electrical systems<\/strong>, electrical storage and power electronics allows us to develop intelligent systems with high efficiency and low noise level, achieving also light, compact, safe systems, and extending their useful life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the energy sector is moving towards the massive use of renewable sources, other aspects of sustainability such as the circularity of<\/strong> the materials that make up the generation equipment cannot be overlooked. At ITA we develop multifunctional and smart materials with a perspective of durability and recyclability, and we work on disassembly on demand<\/em>. In addition, we study mechanical, thermochemical and biological material recovery technologies and analyze their recyclability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
