The transition to climate neutrality extends beyond building new renewable energy projects – the maximization the efficiency of existing equipment is also vitally necessary. As WSED 2025 focuses on a #competitive, #collective, and #climate_neutral future, we draw attention to enhancing retrofits for the operating power plants.

🔶  SETCON, state-of-the-art electro-mechanical variable-speed gearbox, is designed to optimize the performance by exchanging existing drives in thermal power plants. Instead of costly and time-consuming overhauls, the electro-mechanical gearbox upgrades power plant’s machinery in frames of a remaining foundation, ensuring smoother maintenance, lower operational costs, and a faster return on investment (ROI).

❔   How does SETCON contribute to a climate-neutral future?

  • Increases energy efficiency by up to 97%
  • Lowers CO₂ emissions by regenerating excess energy and bring it back to the grid
  • Reduces environmental impact by eliminating working oil, therefore cutting losses and cooling requirements
  • Enables effective retrofits, avoiding major structural changes
  • Ensures long-term reliability

Europe’s power sector demands solutions that are both sustainable and economically feasible. SETCON has already been proving its performance in the region for years, optimizing Drive Trains with boiler feed pumps and other high-energy demanding applications.

High energy efficiency is obligatory for industries to stay competitive

– said the Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA) Fatih Birol in the frame of World Economic Forum 2024 this week:

Investments in energy efficiency are the most important now. In most cases, they pay back in 2-3 years… Even regardless of climate, just for our pockets, for our energy security, and also remain competitive. The companies who do NOT put enough emphasis on energy efficiency will be less competitive vis-a-vis others. This is a real fact now”.

With SET Sustainable Energy Technologies GmbH, the energy efficiency goal is more realistic than ever nowadays. Read our article about SETCON variable-speed drive to find energy benefits for your industry: “Why SETCON is the most energy efficient VSD on market”
