💡#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➡️https://t.co/WfERjIjM9N

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📐

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♨️

[ASTERIx-CAESar @asterix_caesar]

👏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🌄
