The Solar Thermal concept to produce energy, not to be confused with the Solar Photovoltaic, is the conversion of sunlight heat into electricity.
The thermodynamic principle at the heart of Solar Thermal facilities is the same across the different types of plant:
Sunlight rays are concentrated to heat fluid containers
High temperature fluid then supplies steam generators
Steam produced drives turbines which generate electricity
Read moreThe Solar Photovoltaic concept for energy is the conversion of natural and artificial lights into electricity.
The photon, which is the energy vector contained in light rays, while hitting on the solar panel will produce what is called the Photovoltaic effect, a mix of heat and electronic stimulation.
This electronic stimulation will generate a movement of electrons in the solar cell and thus induce direct current electricity.
The Green Hydrogen, not to be confused with the Grey Hydrogen and the Blue Hydrogen, is the production of Hydrogen from water (H20) splitting.
The Green Hydrogen production is based on the water Electrolysis. Meaning, the electricity injected in the liquid is going to separate the water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen.
Blue Hydrogen, not to be confused with Grey Hydrogen and Green Hydrogen, is an hybrid concept targeting to decarbonize today hydrogen production.
The concept of what is called Blue Hydrogen is a combination of a Grey Hydrogen plant with a facility of Carbon Capture.
The Grey Hydrogen, to differentiate from blue and green ones, is today the most popular process to produce hydrogen worldwide.
This method of production is based on the fracking of methane, in combinaison with steam to produce hydrogen.
Whereas automation had clear applications in both manufacturing and processing industries, robotization was left behind when talking about the process industry.
Today, robotization is making a come back on the edge of the scene in the Oil and Gas world thanks to digital technologies.
Augmented Reality and Virtual reality, often shortened as AR and VR, are two technologies which have been developped along the last decade with technological similarities but serving different purposes, especially for the industry
Read moreAs reminder, a Digital Twin is a virtual model of an existing object, process or service.
To run this model efficently, the Digital Twin needs to be fed with data.
In the Large Industry, these data can be divided in two categories: Passive or Active.
Software-as-a-Service (shorten as SaaS) is a distribution model for softwares, for which the producer offers clients the opportunity to use the solution he is fully hosting, from the servers to the application.
