AFRY and GE Vernova Hitachi signs collaboration agreement to deploy BWRX-300 small modular reactor (Cision)
|
|
|
AFRY has entered into a non-exclusive collaboration with GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy to support the deployment of BWRX-300 small modular reactor (SMR) technology.
Small modular reactors (SMRs) represent a new generation of flexible, low-carbon nuclear energy technology. While modular reactors offer greater construction efficiency than traditional large reactors, new nuclear power projects remain highly complex. Collaboration across sectors and the sharing of expertise are essential to ensure success and to develop commercially smart solutions that benefit both license holders and...

The US Shows A Way Out Of Germany's Energy Trap
Submitted by Thomas Kolbe
Big developments are underway in Tennessee and Alabama. Over the next five years, the joint Japanese-American project will bring several so-called small modular reactors (SMRs) of the BWRX-300 type online. Almost one percent of U.S. electricity production—slightly more than three gigawatts—will be added to the existing energy mix by reactors designed by Hitachi and GE Vernova.
A caveat for purists of market economics: this is a hybrid project. While the majority is privately financed, export support from Japan as well as offtake guarantees and credit facilities accounting for roughly one percent of the total volume come from the U.S.
Overall, this project represents an investment of $40 billion. It joins a number of major initiatives currently being driven largely by the private sector in the U.S. Major platform operators and tech giants—Google, Meta, and Microsoft—are deeply involved in building new nuclear cap...

In Tennessee und Alabama entsteht Großes. Ein japanisch-amerikanisches Gemeinschaftsprojekt wird in den nächsten fünf Jahren mehrere sogenannte kleine modulare Atomreaktoren (SMR) des Typs BWRX-300 an das Stromnetz bringen. Beinahe ein Prozent der amerikanischen Stromproduktion, etwas mehr als drei Gigawatt, sollen die Reaktoren, die von den Firmen Hitachi und GE Vernova konstruiert werden, dem bestehenden Energiemix

Hitachi Energy deploys Nynas circular Transformer oil (Cision)
|
|
|
The pioneering use of NYTRO® RR 900X, a fully circular 100% re-refined transformer oil, in a critical power transformer at Hitachi Energy's power transformers factory in Cordoba, Spain, demonstrates its technical equivalence to virgin oils and highlights its potential for reducing the carbon footprint of transformers.
The first retro fill with NYTRO RR 900X was just performed on a critical 117 MVA shell-type test transformer at Hitachi Energy's Córdoba factory, a special unit used for precise voltage regulation in a high voltage testing laboratory. Electrical and thermal tests have just been...
