Energies
Numerical simulation is an essential tool in a sector where performance, optimisation and reliability are essential.
Why use to digital simulation for your projects?
Digital simulation has become an essential tool for designing faster, better and more cost-effectively. Based on accurate models, it enables us to anticipate real-life behaviour, make technical choices more reliable and secure investments right from the design phase.
Optimising performance, improving yields
CFD can be used to study flows and optimise energy systems (reduce heat loss, increase efficiency).
Reduced development costs and times
Prototyping phases are costly and time-consuming. Digital simulation reduces the number of iterations and makes it easy to test different configurations.
Reliability and risk management
Energy infrastructures must guarantee maximum safety. Finite element analyses can be used to assess their resistance and anticipate their behaviour under extreme conditions (e.g. earthquake).
Innovating for more efficient and sustainable energy
The use of digital simulation in the energy sector is a major asset for improving system performance, reducing costs and enhancing infrastructure reliability. It also supports the energy transition by encouraging the development of innovative and sustainable solutions. Its integration is thus becoming a strategic lever for meeting the sector's current and future challenges.

Modelling a wind turbine
CFD makes it possible to analyse in detail the airflow around the blades and to optimise their design in order to improve energy yields. It is possible to predict aerodynamic performance, assess the effects of turbulence and minimise energy losses. CFD can also be used to study the interactions between the wind turbine and its environment, such as the impact of the wake on other turbines in a wind farm or the effects of variable weather conditions (strong winds, gusts, icing).
Modelling an electricity production plant
With temperatures that can be high, heat dissipation management is essential to guarantee the performance of equipment and the safety of personnel. Numerical simulation enables precise analysis of heat flows and air circulation inside the plant, taking into account the different modes of heat transfer (conduction, radiation and convection). It helps identify areas of overheating and optimise the positioning of ventilation and cooling systems. By improving the design of cooling systems, CFD contributes to more efficient, safer and more sustainable plant operation.
Modelling a skid
In the energy sector, skids are widely used to group piping networks, valves, exchangers or process equipment on a transportable structure. Designed to facilitate integration, handling and installation on site, these assemblies have to meet severe mechanical, vibratory and sometimes seismic constraints.
G-MET is involved in the mechanical dimensioning of skids, carrying out static, dynamic and possibly seismic strength analyses on behalf of various players in the energy sector (nuclear, petrochemical, renewable energies, etc.).
