PITTSBURGH, March 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The EDF
Group (EDF) is digitally transforming to drive the development
of safe, dependable and affordable low-carbon power generation
technologies by collaborating with Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS).
Through a new multi-year agreement, EDF will use Ansys to design
state-of-the-art nuclear power plants and deliver unprecedented
nuclear energy efficiency.
Using Ansys multiphysics solutions to enable digital
transformation, EDF will drive the development of advanced plant
instrumentation and controls significantly faster and more
affordably than traditional physical prototyping and testing
approaches.
The agreement follows Ansys' support of the EDF-led ConnexITy
digital R&D program, a French initiative to improve the
process, optimize the performance of nuclear facilities and extend
their operating life beyond 40 years. A key technological partner
to ConnexITy since 2017, Ansys helped design a highly advanced
control room for a next-generation nuclear power plant. The program
also leverages Ansys Twin Builder™ to create digital twins of
plant turbo-alternators, enabling predictive maintenance and
reduced repair expenses.
"Collaborating with Ansys to design leading-edge nuclear power
plants accelerates the creation of renewable energy with unmatched
efficiency and unparalleled customer accessibility," said
Levesque Benoit, project manager at
EDF. "By digitally transforming our manufacturing processes, we can
minimize emissions, slash maintenance costs and maximize our share
of the power generation market while remaining in full compliance
with strict international regulatory standards."
"EDF is global leader in low-carbon energy production. Digital
transformation enables EDF to usher in a new era of clean,
cost-effective and cutting-edge low-carbon power plants, with
operational lives spanning over four decades," said Eric Bantegnie,
vice president and general manager at Ansys. "By leveraging Ansys
multiphysics simulations, EDF engineers devise designs that push
boundaries and meet challenging regulatory requirements, providing
unequalled power output for its worldwide customers."
