Bâtiment Pedro Arrupe

Rue de Bruxelles 65 or Sentier Thomas Namur 5000
Description

                                                   

Groupe de Contact FNRS "Calcul Intensif" - University of Namur - May 21st, 13:00 - 18:00

This meeting gathers all the CÉCI users and their PIs from the five member universities. It is a nice opportunity to discover how other users are (ab)using the clusters, learn about new supercomputers available to you, and meet in person and share ideas with the CÉCI board and the system administrators.

 

Schedule:

12h45: Doors open
13h00-13h05: Welcome & Introduction
13h05-13h50: Keynote: "Advancing Exoplanet Science through High-Performance Computing" by Prof. Anne-Sophie Libert (Dept of Mathematics, University of Namur)

13h50-15h05: CÉCI Technical talks
15h05-15h30: Coffee break
15h30-17h00: User Contributions

      • e) UCLouvain - Design of Electrical Machines in Flywheel Energy Storage Systems

        In recent decades, the growing use of renewable energy sources has increased the need for energy storage systems to balance power production and consumption. Among the available technologies, flywheel energy storage systems store energy as kinetic energy in a rotating mass. The system is charged and discharged by accelerating and decelerating the wheel, using an electrical machine operating as a motor or a generator. The design of this machine plays a key role in enabling long storage durations, as it must combine high efficiency during the energy conversion, and minimal spinning losses that accumulate over long storage cycles.

        Speaker: Mr François Boulanger (Mechatronic, Electrical Energy, and Dynamic Systems (MEED) - UCLouvain)
