Imagine a facility that uses as much electricity as a small town, but wants to run entirely on green energy. This work creates smarter magnets and power amplifiers to cut waste and uses digital twins to balance energy use. It's like giving a giant power-hungry machine a smart home system to save electricity.
Large-scale facilities consume massive amounts of electricity, sometimes exceeding 100 MW, making them expensive to operate and environmentally unsustainable. They struggle to integrate renewable energy without compromising stability.
A hardware prototype for permanent magnet solutions and high-efficiency Solid-State Amplifiers. They also developed Digital Twins and grid measurement systems (Phasor Measurement Units).
If you are a manufacturer dealing with inefficient power conversion — this project developed highly efficient Solid-State Amplifiers for 500MHz and 1.5GHz frequencies that reduce energy waste.
If you are a software provider dealing with grid disturbances in heavy industry — this project developed Phasor Measurement Units and intelligent control algorithms that detect severe disturbances and allow faster countermeasures.
If you are a producer dealing with high energy costs in electromagnetic components — this project developed permanent magnet solutions for dipoles and quadrupoles that lower power consumption.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost-reduction figures are not provided; the focus is on reducing energy consumption for facilities using 100 MW or more.
Yes, the project tests innovations in six leading research infrastructures and involves four SMEs specifically for technology transfer and co-development.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, but the project includes four SMEs focused on the effective technology transfer of new energy solutions.
The project integrates Phasor Measurement Units into distribution grids and uses energy storage to coordinate renewable sources, reducing reliance on the public grid.
The project runs from 2024-01-01 to 2026-12-31.
The consortium is highly balanced for technology transfer, consisting of 10 partners across 4 countries. With a 40% industry ratio (4 SMEs), the project bridges the gap between high-level research (from 2 universities and 3 research institutes) and commercial application, ensuring that the energy solutions are developed with market viability in mind.
