Arabelle Solutions

We have been supplying nuclear turbine island technology for more than six decades, including steam turbines, generators, pumps and more. Our Arabelle turbine is as long as a jumbo jet and the most powerful nuclear steam turbine in operation. Visit our website to watch the Arabelle turbine being assembled in our Belfort factory. https://lnkd.in/epdCqvNT

Construction work of the turbine hall at Hinkley Point C - Unit 1 – is progressing nicely. The 50 metre tall turbine hall will house the world’s largest Arabelle steam turbine, plus generators, pumps, heat exchangers and more. The Arabelle turbine and generator are as long as a Boeing 747 and capable of producing 1,770 MW each. Together they will produce enough electricity for 6 million homes. We can’t wait to see the Arabelle installed. #TEAMHPC    

As an expert in turbine island integration our technologies range from powerful steam turbines, generators, pumps and heat-exchangers to nuclear control - all with world-class performance and reliability. Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/epdCqvNT

This GIGATOP TA1900 generator has left our Belfort factory destined for Hinkley Point C, the UK’s new generation nuclear power plant, where it will help deliver low-carbon electricity for some 6 million households. After years of design and build, the generator underwent rigorous running tests and with 2000 MVA is the most powerful generator ever manufactured at our Belfort factory. We can’t wait to see it being installed in the Hinkley Point C turbine hall. #TeamArabelleSolutions"

Our partnerships with Polish Suppliers already play an important part in our international supply chain, delivering for nuclear power plants around the world. Under our new brand Arabelle Solutions we continue to support nuclear programs such as the AP 1000 reactor initiative in Poland, building on our six decades of heritage in supplying turbine island technology. To further strengthen the localization of the Polish nuclear program, we have signed over 40 agreements with best-in-class Vendors from Poland. Recent Polish partners include among others, Metal Expert, a supplier of diaphragms and pressure control valves. #Kromet, delivering steam turbines casings and heavy/ large welded structures as well as Rockfin , a manufacturer of auxiliary systems for steam turbines and generators. We are looking to further extend our Polish supply chain as we continue to innovate for the nuclear power industry. #AP1000Reactor #PolishNuclearProgram #PolishNuclear

Ivan McBean, Principal Engineer Aerodynamics, will present at the ASME (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Turbo Expo 2024 in London on Monday. He will outline how the team designed one of the longest low pressure steam turbine last stage blades (LSB) – the 75-inch LSB for the Arabelle turbine. Ivan will outline the development, validation, and manufacturing processes and how the team overcame challenges including from a mechanical integrity and design perspective. The turbine was manufactured in our Belfort factory for the UK’s Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant.

At the end of May, the EDF Group has acquired GE Vernova's steam nuclear activities covering conventional island equipment for nuclear power plants. This acquisition enables the Group to acquire key technologies and skills for the nuclear industry and European energy security. These activities, employing around 3,300 people, will be managed by Arabelle Solutions a wholly-owned subsidiary of EDF. Arabelle Solutions will supply equipment for new nuclear power plants and will also maintain and upgrade equipment in existing nuclear power plants (excluding servicing activities in the Americas). For example, Arabelle Solutions steam turbines will be used in particular in the EPR, EPR1200, EPR2 (European Pressurized Reactor) and SMR (Small Modular Reactor) reactor series. This new subsidiary will strengthen the industrial expertise of the EDF Group in the nuclear value chain alongside Framatome.   #Nuclear #EPR Copyright: Arabelle Solutions

We welcomed EDF Group CEO Luc Rémont to our Belfort factory in France last Friday, where he met our team and toured the site. Our colleagues appreciated understanding how our turbine island technologies and service contribute to EDF's vision at this pivotal moment for the nuclear industry in France and abroad. With growing interest in nuclear electricity, including for EPR, EPR2 and SMR reactors, we remain committed to research & development to meet our clients’ evolving needs. We are ready for the exciting journey ahead. Visit our website to find out more www.arabellesolutions.com
