Global Reinforced Plastics Market is Expected to Reach USD 15.82 Billion in 2019

Global energy demand is expected to rise by as much as 50% over the next 25 years. This combined with depletion of existing fossil fuel reserves will mean extensive exploration and production activities by the offshore oil and gas industry in the years to come. 75 percent of this increased requirement is expected to come from the developing world. Security provides industries the freedom to find, develop and manage assets and to deliver services and supplies without interference. Being secure is a result of having the correct strategy through innovative technology, supported by rigorous systems management. Even a simple standalone offshore well site’s risk assessment must consider type of fluids produced, well pressure, directional configuration, measured depth and vertical depth, water access, location, sub-surface safety valve, well maturity and reserves, damage containment, and possible collateral damage. The oil and gas infrastructure security market will experience steady growth over the next lustrum. The unconventional oil and gas boom, the expansion of the LNG infrastructure supply chain, continued offshore developments and the emergence of the digital oilfield are all prime factors for new security solution spending.
There are myriad factors affecting the security environment in which oil and gas assets are developed and transited. Current oil and gas infrastructure, future expansion plans, the present and evolving security situation and the perception of those responsible for infrastructure security all shape current and future spending. Threat perception is particularly important for the IT asset security market; this is because many small and medium cap oil and gas enterprises (SMEs) continue to be unaware of the vulnerabilities inherent in the automation and control systems they are beginning to use on a daily basis. Instability in some market spaces is currently on the increase - Nigeria, Libya, Iraq, Yemen - to name but a few examples, and this is increasing the security spending on onshore infrastructure security personnel. The involvement of homeland security or military assets in the protection of oil and gas assets further drives up spending. On the other hand, establishing and maintaining such security measures require constant diligence as well as time, effort and investment which can be cumbersome and can divert the market from its core competencies, which is provision of products and services. However, since these measures are imperative in such volatile times, no leniency can be shown, which acts as a positive catalyst for the market.
The oil and gas infrastructure security market can be segmented based on the solution provided viz. asset protection; and by services: consulting, system design and integration, risk and threat assessment, managed security services, and training and education. End users in this industry are corporations and Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) mainly based in industries such as aerospace and defense, BFSI, education, energy and utilities, government, telecommunication and logistics.
Geographically, the demand market for petroleum infrastructure security solutions is concentrated in areas that account for the most production and supply of products and services as well as the level of threat experienced. Major demand is being seen from the Middle Eastern and African oil producing countries along with many others, such as Malaysia, China and Australia in the Asia Pacific region. Increase in cyber systems integration is also being seen in the Gulf of Mexico and West Africa. European regions have tightened security mostly at their North Sea pipelines as well as drilling positions.

After the Fukishima disaster in Japan, the global nuclear power plant equipments market is likely to face uncertainty in terms of demand from certain nations. On one hand, the disaster in Japan might trigger negative sentiments regarding use of nuclear energy leading to slowdown in adoption and commissioning of plants.
However on the other hand, the event might also trigger decommissioning of old plants and subsequent installation of new nuclear power plants with better technologies and multiple redundant safety backups. In the event of new capacity being added to replace older plants, there is likely to be a higher demand for nuclear power plant equipments. Overall, nuclear power plants are fully capable of providing very high load and availability factors giving steady base load generation. With very low emissions and generating costs at par with coal fired plants, nuclear energy is likely to be adopted with much gusto in the future. One of the major equipments for nuclear power plants is the reactors. There are various types of reactors currently in operation with the two most common ones being boiling water reactors (BWR) and pressurized water reactors (PWR).
Apart from these, other forms of reactors such as CANDU reactors are also being deployed. One of the most important parts of a nuclear power plant is the fuel assemblies. Nuclear fuel comprises of fuel rods which are arranged together in the form of fuel assemblies, and contains fissile elements capable of sustaining a nuclear fission reaction. Some of the nuclear fuels being used today around the world include Uranium-235 and Plutonium -239. Very large fuel assemblies are required to power large nuclear reactors. A pressurized water reactor (PWR) might require 13 feet high individual fuel assemblies with nearly 264 fuel rods present within.
Other equipments required include the internal piping mechanisms and enclosures. Owing to the radiation risk, nuclear reactors need to be adequately shielded using lead, steel and concrete. Turbines are also a vital part of any nuclear power plant. Since nuclear power plants generally require economies of scale to generate power at economical and cost competitive rates, large turbines are likely to be in demand in the future. Other vital components of a nuclear power plant include heat exchanger systems, which are mostly installed in a closed loop form. Owing to the radiation risk, there are generally three kinds of heat transfer fluids circulating inside the plant, which generally require advanced heat exchanging systems. Other important equipments include the control rod assembly which is essential to control the rate of nuclear fission. Without the control rods there is a risk of an uncontrolled chain reaction ultimately resulting in an explosion. Overall the nuclear power plant equipments market is likely to be the most attractive in the Asia-Pacific and Europe.
Some of the major players in the nuclear power plant equipments market include Dongfang Electric Corporation Ltd, Larsen & Toubro Ltd, Alstom SA and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd among others.

The Unconventional Guide Wind Turbine Rotor Blade Market

In the present scenario, minimum dependency on fossil fuels is the prime objective for the entire world, since these energy sources are limited and are declining at a rapid rate. This has diverted the focus of various countries on a reliable energy supply. To achieve the set objective, the renewable energy production throughout the world must be drastically increased. Thus wind energy is prominent and best solution for the production of energy across the globe. The wind energy is produced with the help of wind turbines. Wind speed is considered to increase with the help of the continuity principle. This can be attained by the installation and expansion of many on-shore and off-shore wind parks built with the help of wind turbines.


Wind turbines come in various configurations and sizes, and are built from wide range of materials. In other terms, a wind turbine comprises of a rotor that has wing shaped blades linked to a hub, a nacelle that contains a drive train comprising of a connecting shafts, gearbox, generator, support bearings, tower and various electrical equipments. The turbine blades play a crucial role in the wind turbines. Blades are needed to protect an optimum cross section for aerodynamic efficiency to produce the maximum torque to propel the generators. The efficiency of the wind turbine is directly dependent on the material of the blade, angle and shape of the blade. Hence, the material of the turbine blade is very important in wind turbines. Blade material possesses high stiffness, long fatigue life features and low density.

Wing shaped blades on the rotor harvest the energy in the wind stream. The rotor transforms the kinetic energy of the wind to rotational energy transmitted with the help of drive train to the generator. Generated electricity can be directly connected from the feed to the utility grid. The cost and weight of the turbine are some of the key points for making wind energy competitive with various other power sources. The real opportunity today is through better and low cost materials, while ensuring that reliability is maintained.

Components of the turbines are changing drastically as technology continuously improves and evolves. There is a direct trend towards light weight systems. Low cost materials and light weight are key important factors of blades and towers. Firstly, the weight of the rotor and blades is multiplied to get the exact weight.

Blades are generally made of GRP, which is expected to continue in the future as well, while use of CFRP may help to cut down weight and cost up to some extent. Reliability and low cost are some of the primary drivers for the material selection. Increasing in offshore applications may offset this trend in favor of the use of composites.

Growing population and emerging economies are some of the key drivers of the wind turbine rotor blade market. However, high cost required for the maintenance of the wind turbine rotor blade can hamper the growth of the market. Huge opportunities are there for wind turbine rotor blade market as demand for electricity is increasing at a healthy rate in Asia Pacific countries especially in India and China.

Some of the key companies in the business of wind turbine rotor blades are Kemrock Industries And Exports Limited, TANG ENERGY, SGS SA, Moog Inc., LM Wind Power Group, Blade Dynamics, Siemens AG among others.
