The subject of the project is to boost the R&D capacities of ŠKODA POWER s.r.o. by supporting investment in the research infrastructure (new measuring equipment, machines, HW and SW). The project aims to extend and improve the applied methods and to introduce innovative approaches to R & D. The project will specifically target high-efficiency blading of low-pressure stages with active monitoring and lifetime prediction. From a commercial point of view, the project intends not only to improve the technical parameters of the turbines but also add last-stage modular rows of blades for 50 Hz or 60 Hz frequencies impacting competitiveness on global and fast-growing markets (such as Asia).

The subject of the project is to expand the capacity of the Doosan Škoda Power R&D center by strengthening investment in research infrastructure. The subject of investments is new measuring and experimental equipment, HW and SW. All of these activities are primarily designed to increase the efficiency of the combined cycle of steam-gas turbines. It is a key parameter of the power supply to the customer. As a result, the product is more competitive. Thanks to its more economical operation, it is also environmentally friendly as steam-gas power plants are significantly more environmentally friendly compared to coal plants, and they also fit better into the modern energy concept that attempts to eliminate pollutant emissions into the air. Thanks to their flexibility, they are a quite appropriate addition to renewable energy sources which are achieving an increasingly stronger position in the sphere of power generation. In terms of economic activity, the project falls under CZ-NACE 27.11 Manufacture of electric motors, generators, transformers, and CZ-NACE 27.9 Manufacture of other electrical equipment. The new products that will be developed thanks to the expanded R & D capacity are technologically advanced and thus fall under the high-tech sector, or more precisely into the high-tech manufacturing industry.
