Year after year CEA Tech events in Asia are gaining momentum. The third CEA Tech Days, held on October 16 and 17 in Tokyo, brought in nearly 400 participants, more than 90% from industrial companies. The event was followed by the second Leti Day in Hsinchu, Taiwan, with 140 participants, 70% from industry.
Liten, a CEA Tech institute, developed an ultra-lightweight module specifically for the Stratobus project with Thales Alenia Space France (TAS-F), once again demonstrating its capacity to develop personalized modules to meet manufacturers’ unique needs.
SUNHORIZON, the new CARTIF’S project based on innovative heat pumps and solar technologies
A power transformer with satisfactory thermal performance was produced using powder injection molding (PIM) and a printed-circuit-type industrial assembly. This advance will pave the way to smaller power supply components suitable for a variety of mobile devices.
The EU COBRA project was set up to make improvements to PEMFC bipolar plate manufacturing processes and enhance the plates’ durability with the ultimate goal of bringing costs down. Several innovations were tested in the lab and on actual vehicles.
CEA-LITEN is a partner of the European project H2020-SOLWATT (SOLving WATer Issues for Concentrated Solar Power planTs) which aims at reducing the water consumed by Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants.
Reliable and reproducible nanomaterials characterization protocols have been developed at Liten and are now available to businesses for their nanomaterials testing campaigns.
The French government recently announced its strategy to develop hydrogen to drive the energy transition. Liten, a CEA Tech institute, plans to leverage its know-how in hydrogen technology and software to support this strategy.
EA Tech institutes – Leti and Liten – are pleased to announce that the 2nd CEA Tech Days in Japan will be held on October 16th and 17th 2018.
A capacitive plastic part prototype that meets the automotive industry’s requirements was recently developed in partnership with SE2D (Symbiose Engineering Design Development).
Liten Annual Report is now online!
A new hybrid polymer electrolyte technology with the capacity to enhance battery safety was developed for Solvay. The company has begun presenting the new technology to battery manufacturers.
Poudr’Innov 2.0, a technology platform operated by Liten, a CEA Tech institute, recently acquired an LBM (laser-beam melting) additive manufacturing machine from Prodways, the leading provider of industrial 3D printing solutions.
A heating-network substation was commissioned in the lab for testing, and then upgraded to a more advanced version. Two testing platforms at solar energy research center INES were connected for the first time ever for the tests.
The Tunisian government has adopted an energy transition policy that includes multiplying the contribution of renewable energy tenfold within twelve years. To successfully make the transition, the country needed a smart-grid solution tailored to local conditions.
CEA INES team has recently achieved a new heterojunction 72 cell module record performance at 410W in collaboration with Meyer Burger.
Perovskite-based photovoltaic systems were recently created on larger surfaces than the current laboratory prototypes, enabling the technology to be scaled up from individual cells to modules.
Several energy-related advances for the City of Grenoble, France were unveiled to the public as part of the CITY-Zen Days initiative. One of them is an innovative heating network. The prototype is currently under construction and the new network will round out France’s second-largest heating network.
Pressure can enhance the performance of co-electrolysis without negatively affecting equipment lifespans. Researchers recently demonstrated the principle for the first time ever in a long-duration test.
For the first time ever, a 256-pixel active matrix was printed at the PICTIC platform at Liten, a CEA Tech institute. This is the first-ever system-level demonstrator and it confirms the potential of printed electronics for industrial-scale manufacturing to equip tomorrow’s high-tech devices.
Liten, a CEA Tech institute, used the MUSES platform’s multi-physics models to generate simulations of the distribution of liquid water on the surface of a PEMFC-type fuel cell.
The LITEN Scientific Highlights is now online.
Construction on the Jupiter 1000 power-to-gas demonstrator plant began on December 19, 2017 in Fos-sur-Mer in the South of France. The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by a number of elected officials. Research scientist Laurent Bedel of Liten, a CEA Tech institute, spoke to us about the project.
The MUSES numerical simulation platform is used primarily to study the behavior of fuel cells and lithium-ion batteries at different scales to provide deeper insights into how they work.
Liten, a CEA Tech institute, recently patented the world’s first 100% polymer film that is both conductive and transparent. The new film could be a good candidate to replace existing materials in electrodes and transparent heating films.
