One-third of the world’s primary energy is used for electricity
generation. The energy conversion processes from coal, oil, gas and
nuclear fuels to electricity employ turbomachinery devices, Fig. 1,
such as those being researched at LEC. For example, in 2005, 15 000 000
GWh of generated electricity used turbomachinery. It is therefore
evident that the cutting edge research that is undertaken in LEC has a
direct and profound impact both on the environmental impact of energy
utilization and on energy sustainability. On these pages you can learn
more about LEC’s related research activities.
