WP4: Efficient Energy Management (EEM)
ARIES (Accelerator Research and Innovation for European Science and Society)
part of Horizon2020 programme
Introduction
Particle accelerators have a broad range of applications in fundamental science, medicine and industry. On the other hand these facilities consume large amounts of electrical energy from the grid. Also for Research facilities the efficient and cost effective utilization of electrical power gets increasingly into focus. Within the network Efficient Energy Management (EEM) our aim is to address several topics related to the energy efficiency of particle accelerators and to stimulate advances and innovations in this field. EEM is primarily a network of research laboratories and academic institutions. The main activity of the network will be information exchange between participating parties and the organisation of workshops. The presentations and results of these workshops will be made publically available. Besides networking each task investigates a specific topic related to an efficient technology or concept. A description of the topics that will be considered is given below…
Objectives
