CLOSED PROJECTS
Infrastructures
ESTEEM3 (2019-2023) was a Horizon 2020 project funded under the Infrastructures programme. The consortium was coordinated by the Max-Planck Institute. The project was the 3rd phase of ESTEEM supported by the EU since the 6th Framework Programme.
ESTEEM3 aimed at supporting transnational access for scientists from both academic and private sectors to the most powerful Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) facilities in Europe.
Energy
POLYPHEM (2018-2022) is a Horizon 2020 project funded under the Energy programme and coordinated by CNRS.
POLYPHEM aims at improving the flexibility and the performance of small-scale Concentrated Solar Power plants, thanks to a solar-driven micro gas-turbine technology. As a final result, the project will build a 60 kW prototype plant with a 2 MWh thermal storage unit and will validate this innovative power cycle in a relevant environment (TRL 5).
Materials
ESSIAL (2017-2022) is a Horizon 2020 project funded under the Factories of the Future programme. The consortium is coordinated by ESIEE Amiens - School of Electronics and Electrical Engineering.
The project will use laser technologies to develop new generation of electrical steels. ESSIAL pursues 3 main goals: 1. to improve the energy conversion efficiency through soft magnetic circuits; 2. to control and reduce the mechanical vibrations and the acoustic noise; and 3. to ease the deposition / removal of insulation in respect to the eco-design criteria.
Energy
Next-CSP (2016-2021) was a H2020 project funded under the Energy programme and coordinated by CNRS.
The Next-CSP project aimed at developing a prototype 1.2 MWe Concentrated Solar Power plant that uses solid particles as both heat transfer and storage medium. The project paved the way towards the commercial developments of this technology by studying its scale-up to industrial size.
Energy
SOLPART (2016-2019) project is a Horizon 2020 project funded under the Energy programme. The consortium is coordinated by CNRS.
The main objective of the SOLPART project is to develop, at the pilot scale, a high temperature (950°C) 24h/day solar process suitable for particle treatment in energy intensive industries (e.g. cement or lime industries).
Energy
ORC-PLUS (2015-2019) is a H2020 project funded under the Energy programme. The consortium is coordinated by ENEA.
The ORC-PLUS project aims at developing an optimized combination of innovative Thermal Energy Storage (optimized for the CSP scale 1-5 MWe) and engineering solutions necessary to improve the dispatchability and hours of production of an existing small Concentrated Solar Power plant, located in a desert areas and coupled with an ORC system. The final result was an industrial pilot plant used to validate the technology in a real operational environment and to demonstrate its feasibility.
Infrastructures
ESTEEM2 (2012-2016) is a project of the 7th Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission funded by the Infrastructures programme. The consortium is coordinated by CNRS.
The main aim of ESTEEM2 is to provide access for the academic and industrial research community in the physical sciences to some of the most powerful characterization techniques available at the nano scale, through a European infrastructures network in electron microscopy.
