ENERGY POOL
Energy Pool is a leading company in Europe for demand-side energy-flexibility aggregation, as well as a key-player in the European energy-flexibility market. As such, the company is one of the industrial partners in the Horizon Europe-funded “Flexibility in Research Infrastructures for global CArbon Neutrality” (FlexRICAN) project. Three major research partners have joined forces in FlexRICAN. In addition to the EMFL, who provided significant input, these are the two research infrastructures ELI – Extreme Light Infrastructures and ESS – European Spallation Source, with the latter leading the project. At the heart of the smart grid revolution, Energy Pool manages [...]
SuperEMFL SUCCESSFULLY FINISHED
Starting January 2021, the EU-funded design study SuperEMFL finished successfully at the end of last year. According to the initial objectives, the SuperEMFL project has generated specific know-how, models, the design of 32+ and 40+ T all-superconducting user magnets (TRL 7), and a possible scenario for implementing such equipment within EMFL as main outcomes. The use of HTS (high-temperature superconductor) inserts to generate static fields efficiently introduces a change of paradigm. New experimental possibilities are expected, in particular long duration and very low-noise experiments. The large resulting reduction of operating costs for static high-field experiments will also considerably increase [...]
HFML-FELIX JOINING FORCES WITH SEVEN UNIVERSITY PARTNERS
HFML-FELIX, known worldwide as a unique research facility, will continue within a large national partnership consisting of Radboud University, Dutch Research Council (NWO), and six other Dutch universities. This means, structural funding is assured for HFML-FELIX for the next 10 years. The consortium will work towards a shared and strong national research program, which will enable the lab to continue its significant contribution to scientific progress and the solving of societal challenges. Starting this new collaboration 1st of January 2025, HFML-FELIX will move forward as an NWO Institute within the Foundation for Dutch Scientific Research Institutes NWO-I. An official [...]
