The energy industry meets 360° joining technology

Wind energy in particular poses major challenges for joining technology. For example, it must be able to withstand extreme weather conditions while providing reliable performance. The connections between the rotor blades and the tower must be flexible enough to adapt to wind conditions, but also rigid enough to ensure a robust structure. The joining technology must be able to absorb vibrations and oscillations to avoid damage to the rotor blades and other components.

Last year, more new solar systems than ever before were installed to generate electricity and heat. An important prerequisite for this is reliable joining technology that ensures that the solar cells and modules are safely and securely attached to the mounting systems. Another challenge is that solar systems are often exposed to extreme weather conditions such as storms and hail, which require robust construction and effective maintenance to ensure the robustness and durability of the systems.

To ensure reliable generation of thermal energy, borehole casings and pumps must be installed safely and securely at depth. Choosing the right joining technology plays an important role. The joining technology must withstand extreme temperature and pressure conditions while providing reliable performance. Another challenge is that the joining technology often has to be installed in areas that are deep and difficult to access, making effective maintenance and repair challenging. Reliable and durable joining technology is therefore extremely important to ensure the efficiency and longevity of geothermal systems.
