PROMOTioN - Progress on Meshed HVDC Offshore Transmission Networks (PROMOTION)
Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2019,
In order to unlock the full potential of Europe’s offshore resources, network infrastructure is urgently required, linking off-shore wind parks and on-shore grids in different countries. HVDC technology is envisaged but the deployment of meshed HVDC offshore grids is currently hindered by the high cost of converter technology, lack of experience with protection systems and fault clearance componen ...

International and intersectoral mobility to develop advanced scintillating fibres and Cerenkov fibres for new hadron and jet calorimeters for future colliders (INTELUM)
Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Feb 28, 2019,
Currently, new concepts are being considered for hadron and jet calorimetry in high energy physics experiments, in order to improve the energy resolution of these detectors by a factor of at least two. This is a prerequisite for future studies at the high luminosity, large hadron collider as well as at future electron and proton colliders. Amongst the few concepts being proposed, scintillating and ...

Factories of the Future Resources, Technology, Infrastructure and Services for Simulation and Modelling (FORTISSIMO)
Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2016,
The importance of advanced simulation to the competitiveness of both large and small companies is well established. The principal objective of Fortissimo is to enable European manufacturing, particularly small to medium enterprises (SMEs), to benefit from the efficiency and competitive advantage inherent in the use of simulation. However, the simulation of, for example, high-pressure gas cylinders ...
