ASTERIx-CAESar

🚀Hello #CSP and #EnergyStorage fans - our latest public project deliverable is available online📥 "Specification of the ASTERIx-CAESar #prototypes" offers a so far unpublished overview of the project concept. Read the document under WP1 here👉 asterix-caesar.eu/project-public…

🚀Our #poster awarded🏆 Javier Baigorri Martínez of @CENER_Energia received significant recognition in last week's EERA Joint Programme on Energy Storage workshop💡 His poster🖼️ was awarded the silver #medal🥈 in the #BestPosterAward competition👏 👉 asterix-caesar.eu/events/joint-w…

📢Hello #GasTurbines fans👋 Our own @SoftInWay introduces their design tool✍ @TheunisDuToit explains: "We work with AxSTREAM® Flow path design💻 using one of its powerful💪 preliminary #DesignTools, the generative design function." How does it work? 👉 youtube.com/watch?v=GYtHnT…

🎬Our project is live next week, at the EERA joint workshop💡 Javier Baigorri Martínez of @CENER_Energia will be there with our poster🖼️ showcasing the potential of the ASTERIx-CAESar☀️ concept as well as initial economic results📊 Moreℹ️👉asterix-caesar.eu/events/joint-w… #HorizonEU

💡#Blackout?⚫ 👉Sudden loss of 15GW triggered #failure, making the 🇪🇸 #EnergyGrid collapse for several hours📉. With #PV☀️providing >55% of power, the system was unable to stabilise #FrequencyDeviations. Watch our📽️on how we can stabilise #EnergySupply➡️asterix-caesar.eu

🚨ASTERIx-CAESar #ReverseOsmosis pilot plant #design has just been finalised💦 The #PilotPlant construction🏗️ has already begun at @Apria_Systems's facilities — an exciting step forward in our development roadmap🛣️ 👉asterix-caesar.eu/ro_design/ #HorizonEU #CSP #desalination #CAES

We have just had our 3rd #SteerCo meeting👇 We discussed the progress of our #concept💡, #SolarReceiver☀️, #HeatExchangers♨️, #CAES & #PowerCycle⚡, #AI methods🧠, #Demonstration⚙️, Communication, #dissemination, #exploitation🗣️ Proud to be still on #Target, #Time & #Scope📐

🔬#SolarSimulator experiments underway🔆 @CENER_Energia & @unisevilla tested in a #Xenon lamp to advance development of #sensors to measure the concentrated #SolarFlux☀️This will help the sensors' final design to be tested in the real #heliostat field💪 asterix-caesar.eu

Main takeaways from @etngasturbine #AGM & #workshop by David Sanchez of @unisevilla: 💬"#EnergyStorage is instrumental to accomplish full #decarbonisation of the energy sector⚡️, and it can't rely on batteries🔋 only. [...] We thus offer a novel, unique, yet viable solution." 👏

💡Interested in #Fiber optic distributed high-temperature #measurement for environments >800°C? Our partner Engionic Fiber Optics develops #FiberOpticSensor🎛️ based on #femtosecond laser inscribed Fiber Brag Gratings able to withstand the harsh conditions in #SolarAbsorber♨️

👏Our project will be well represented at our partner @etngasturbine AGM & Workshop on 25-27 March in Bergen🇳🇴 David Sánchez (@unisevilla )🎙️ will be one of the panellists🗨️🗯️ and we'll also have a spot at the #expo area with our poster🪧 and leaflets🌄 #HorizonEU #CSP #CAES

♨️Hot off the press♨️ From sunlight to #StoredPower - our project experts interviewed🎙️ Fritz Zaversky (@CENER_Energia) and David Sánchez Martínez (@unisevilla) talked to @HorizonMagEU🗞️ about our project approach💡 Read the whole article ➡️ lnkd.in/exiN4A94 #HorizonEU

#ThermalShields in Solar Towers☀️: the key component we can't ignore🎯 Our own Nova Therm Tech is the expert in #insulation and protection of #SolarPower #receivers. They state: “Ignoring the importance of thermal insulation is an unnecessary risk." 🚨 👉lnkd.in/eJhRrPGv

🛠️ Preparing a new testing day in the #SolarField at @IMDEA_Energia☀️ ✅ The test results will feed the database 💻 to train the #IA-based algorithms for establishing aiming point strategies developed at ASTERIx-CAESar 🎯 #HorizonEU #CSP #CAES #EnergyStorage #SolarThermal

🎉Celebrating #WorldEngineeringDay for #SustainableDevelopment🎉 #Sustainability being part of our #DNA🧬, we can't be more 🙏to our #team which makes our engineering marvel of flexible #SolarPower generation with #CompressedAir #EnergyStorage happen🤗 👉asterix-caesar.eu

🧠Our project builds upon the ingenious combination🧩🧩 of proven technology and #renewable energy sources (#RES)💡 It offers numerous benefits, convincing results as well as several #AuxiliaryServices. Watch the project video🎥 for more information 👉asterix-caesar.eu/communication-…
