Description
LANCOR 2000 S.COOP. (LANCOR) is implementing this project for several reasons: • The new directive adopted by the EU for the energy sector aims a reduction of 20% in CO2 emissions, 20% improvement in energy efficiency and 20% of energy consumed from renewable sources. • Marine energy has a great potential as a renewable energy source (still developing). • Promising sector with good growth expectations: Medium-sized companies are often part of multinational companies supply chain and develop and manufacture some components. LANCOR will develop a machine which will allow for new compact generators with high power density and over 90% efficiency for marine applications and hydro energy. Its features are: • Operation bidirectional tidal generation. • Modularity to set different power generators. • Generator designed to run on a direct-drive turbine at a depth not exceeding 2 m. • Ability to generate power from streams of 0.01 m/s. LANCOR will collaborate with the University of Mondragon and AMAKU.
Summary of project results
LANCOR 2000 S.COOP. (was formed in 1943 and since then it has been dedicated to providing high quality electrical machinery, specializing in the field of electric motors for elevators worldwide . At present the biggest challenge they face is diversification. LANCOR has faced this project for several reasons: - The new directive adopted by the European Community for the energy sector known as 20-20-20 2020 aims a reduction of 20% in CO2 emissions , 20% improvement in energy efficiency and 20% of energy consumed from renewable sources. - One of the most potential renewable energy is the marine energy that is still developing. - It is a very attractive sector with growth expectations and dominated by multinational companies. Medium-sized companies are often part of their supply chain and develop and manufacture some components.
