Solar energy
Thermal analysis and calorimetry are essential tools for evaluating the thermal stability, phase transitions, and degradation behavior of materials used in solar energy applications. These techniques provide critical insights into the performance of photovoltaic components such as complex alloys, ceramics, perovskite as thin films and / or nanostructured. They also help assess the reliability of encapsulation materials, ensuring long-term durability under varying thermal conditions.
-
Wind energy
Thermal analysis and calorimetry are key to evaluating the thermal stability and curing behavior of composite materials used in wind turbine blades. These are critical data for ensuring structural integrity under fluctuating environmental conditions. These methods also help assess the high-temperature performance of strong permanent magnets in generators, ensuring reliability under operational stress.

Biomass
BIOMASS Thermal analysis techniques like TGA are essential for characterizing biomass in combustion, pyrolysis, and gasification processes by determining water, ash content, reaction temperatures, and solid residues. Evolved Gas Analysis (EGA) complements this by identifying valuable gases released during pyrolysis. Additionally, calorimetry provides crucial data on heat and heat capacity, supporting energy balance and heat transfer simulations in biomass processing.
