Characteristic Features

In this paper we investigate the possible penetration of combined-cycle plants in the Belgian electricity generation system after the Belgian Government has not considered as appropriate the construction of a next nuclear plant at the present time. First the characteristic features of the Belgian production capabilities are given. The share of gas turbines, turbojets and already existing combined-cycle plants and their operation modes are emphasized. Then, alternative options to nuclear energy are presented, i.e. repowering of existing plants and construction of new combined-cycle plants. The potentialities of gas turbines and CC plants as well as their future in Belgium are investigated. Finally we discuss the equipment plan for the Belgian generation system proposed by the management committee of the electrical plant operators. From the results of our research about repowering, gas turbines and new CC plants, we derive recommendations for the future production means in Belgium.

Remarkable Progress

Green manufacturing is part of the continuous improvement strategy and green energy is indispensable to carry out green manufacturing because manufacturing is energy intensive. Green energy manufacturing is not easy to carry out with conventional means, but with the introduction of nanotechnology, many technical bottlenecks of green energy manufacturing can be resolved. This paper discussed the applications of nanotechnology in green energy manufacturing, especially in the manufacturing of several typical green energy such as solar energy, nuclear energy, biomass energy and geothermal energy, and then pointed out that nanotechnology was helpful to eliminate the technical bottlenecks of green energy manufacturing. Finally, with looking forward to the future, conclusion was drown that by the use of nanotechnology in green energy manufacturing, the supply of green energy would go up to a great new level and the green energy manufacturing would get remarkable progress.
