Energy

MASCO has long been involved in 18 Energy Projects in power distribution and generation projects. Advanced Energy has developed more than dozens of projects. We work on electrical voltage substations, valves, actuators in oil and gas sector, over head transmission lines, electrical works, street lighting, and underground high voltage cables. Additionally, through international partnerships, we are building our capacity in the renewable energy sector with emphasis on wind and solar power. We believe in the strong role renewable energy will have not only for power generation but also for preservation of the environment for future generations.

Renewable energy is set to improve living conditions as CO2 emissions decrease. MASCO is keen to develop its renewable energy business, as renewable technologies are clean sources of energy and produce minimum secondary wastes and CO2 emissions. Solar energy in particular is one of the best forms of renewable energy and is found in abundance in GCC region. Solar energy is excellent for mitigation of greenhouse emissions and reducing global warming global warming

A substation is a part of an electrical generation, transmission, and distribution system. Substations transform voltage from high to low, or the reverse, or perform any of several other important functions. Electric power may flow through several substations between generating plant and consumer, and its voltage may change in several steps. Substations may be owned and operated by a transmission or generation electrical utility, or may be owned by a large industrial or commercial customer. Generally substations are un-attended, relying on SCADA for remote supervision and control. A substation may include transformers to change voltage levels between high transmission voltages and lower distribution voltages, or at the interconnection of two different transmission voltages. The word substation comes from the days before the distribution system became a grid. As central generation stations became larger, smaller generating plants were converted to distribution stations, receiving their energy supply from a larger plant instead of using their own generators. The first substations were connected to only one power station, where the generators were housed, and were subsidiaries of that power station.
