With the concept of global sustainable development deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the transformation of energy structure has become an irreversible trend. As a global leader in a number of energy segments, China is actively embracing change and seeking a path of high-quality development. In this context, ZEISS is pleased to announce that starting from May 20, the online event of ZEISS Quality Innovation Days China will focus on five major industry sectors, including new energy vehicles, medical care, electronics, power and energy, and die casting, with the theme of "ZEISS, Quality Tomorrow".
May 23rd will usher in the high-profile "ZEISS, Quality Tomorrow" Power & Energy Day. Industry leaders and technical experts from well-known companies and organizations such as the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) will gather to discuss the key role of quality control in solving industry pain points and enhancing competitiveness around the four major industries of wind turbines, energy storage, steam turbines and photovoltaics. The event will focus on the topic of industry transformation and decarbonization, share success stories of different companies in the face of quality challenges, and showcase innovative solutions from ZEISS in specific areas.
New Product Boosts Turbine Blade Inspection Efficiency by Up to 70%
Despite the rapid development of new energy sources, thermal power generation is still the cornerstone of China's electric power, and the scale of new gas turbine installations has grown rapidly in recent years. As the most important component of the gas turbine, the turbine blade needs to work under high temperature, high pressure and high speed, and its external dimensions and process defects will have an important impact on the efficiency and reliability of the entire gas turbine, and its value is high and has a great impact on the overall cost.
ZEISS's gas turbine and steam turbine blade airfoil inspection solutions deliver significant improvements in blade yield and inspection efficiency at every process stage. On the 23rd, at the live broadcast of the event, Zeiss product experts will also introduce a testing equipment suitable for turbine blades, which is 70% more efficient than other models of the same series.
In addition to the wonderful presentations and demonstrations, this event will also share cases of electrolyzer quality control. Hydrogen energy was written into the "Government Work Report" for the first time this year, and the electrolyzer has received great attention as the core equipment link of hydrogen production by electrolysis of water. It is believed that the experience from peers will become a useful reference for enterprises in this field to deepen their business layout.
Provide quality assurance for large-scale wind power and deep-sea wind
After years of development, China's wind power industry has shown the distinctive characteristics of large-scale and deep-sea development. The capacity of wind turbines is constantly increasing, the power generation efficiency has been significantly improved, and the tentacles of wind farms have extended to deeper seas, aiming to make full use of the abundant wind energy resources in the deep sea.
Large-scale wind turbine blades, spindles and bearing parts have significantly increased in size, and the difficulty of processing and testing has increased exponentially. In the face of the challenges posed by this trend, ZEISS pays close attention to the quality requirements of high value-added components in the wind power industry, and provides quality solutions such as main bearings, yaw and pitch bearings for wind turbines and gearboxes to ensure the stable operation of wind turbines in extreme environments.
Meet the needs of defect analysis of energy storage batteries
The new energy storage industry chain as a whole revolves around lithium-ion batteries, and China's new energy storage market is on the eve of the outbreak, and the quality of energy storage batteries is the basis for the healthy development of the market. Abnormal batteries not only affect performance, but can also lead to safety risks. Manufacturers need to identify product defects in alignment, weld defects, lamination position, electrode breakage, housing size, and more early and accurately to improve yields, avoid safety risks, and extend battery life.
Battery cells are the key to battery quality, and ZEISS meets the industry's demand for battery defect analysis with its internal defect detection solutions for energy storage cells, helping manufacturers improve the safety and performance of finished cells.
It provides tools for the photovoltaic industry to reduce costs and increase efficiency
China's photovoltaic industry has been improving for a long time with fierce competition, and it is the goal of the industry to improve conversion efficiency and reduce LCOE. One of the three core factors affecting the conversion efficiency of solar cells is the surface treatment, and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FEEM) becomes a necessary tool for the analysis of cell surface treatment. ZEISS provides solutions for the surface topography and coating analysis of solar cells for the photovoltaic industry, helping photovoltaic companies to enhance their competitiveness.
Under the current trend of energy structure transformation, ZEISS is committed to solving the quality problems in the development of new energy with innovative solutions. ZEISS is looking forward to meeting with industry players online to find the "key" to solving real-world challenges and exploring the way to high-quality development in the power and energy industry.
Stay tuned to the ZEISS Quality Innovation Days China online event, let's work together to explore the new chapter of "Quality Tomorrow"!
