CSP simulation: optimisation from design to operation
Thanks to its dispatchability, thermal-solar or concentrated solar power may play a key role in an electricity generation market dominated by renewable energy sources: it can be used as a back-up to the system...
Robotized wind-blade inspections
With more than 2,500 wind turbines inspected around the world, the Eolos robot made its first job in Brazil at the CGN park in Santa Vitória do Palmar (RS). Three turbines were externally inspected...
5 tips to get top performance out of auto-consumption facilities
One of the main revolutions in energy transition, apart from clearly backing renewable energies in order to decarbonise energy consumption and generation, is recognition of the fact that the end consumer must play an...
Inspections and substitute testing in solar thermal power plants
Solar-thermal power plants are based on what is probably the most complex generating technology in the renewable energy sector. This type of plant uses energy from the Sun to heat a fluid, which is...
What is the energy transition and what are its challenges?
In order to palliate the effects of climate change to the greatest possible extent, there is an urgent need to switch from the current energy model, based on a centralised, hierarchical electricity system predominantly...

Tecnatom and TSR Wind have signed an agreement to provide high added value services in the wind energy sector in Latin America, especially in Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador.
This agreement is part of the Tecnatom...
What is an electric island?
The supply of electricity doesn’t reach every geographical region around the world in the same way. There are inhabited and industrialized remote locations with complex terrains that are difficult to access or are isolated...
Solar energy and photovoltaic self-consumption
The Sun makes life on Earth viable and, from the beginning of time, it has provided us with illumination and warmth. A little over a century ago, we were able to harness its energy...
New Contracts in the Renewable Sector
In accordance with international climate agreements, we must reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 7.6% annually until 2030 if we want to uphold the commitment acquired by the countries participating in the COP21 Paris Agreement....
Tecnatom signs an agreement for the wind sector with ACM
Tecnatom and Automated Computing Machinery (ACM) have signed a memorandum of understanding whose purpose is to serve as a development framework for the cooperation of both companies in the renewable energy sector, particularly wind...
