VADODARA: French power equipment manufacturer Alstom has set up its research and development (R&D) centre for hydro power sector in Vadodara, Gujarat. ���The new global technology centre (GTC) will enable the company to focus on specific issues of the Indian hydro market and develop highly-innovative integrated products and technologies for new and rehabilitation projects,��� Alstom Hydro president Philippe Cochet said.
���The centre includes a pelton turbine scale model test laboratory with one of the highest head testing capacities in the world,��� he said. Alstom has formed a joint venture company for manufacturing equipment for power sector with domestic auto component maker Bharat Forge.
The company will produce super-critical turbines and generator sets for thermal power plants. It also plans to supply nuclear power generation equipment in the future. The company has adopted a lean manufacturing model to sustain the global economic slowdown. ���It would mean no major expansion of capacity but optimal use of resources,��� Mr Cochet said.
