Description
As part of CERN’s commitment to managing energy responsibly, the Organization obtained the ISO 50001 certification for energy management in 2023. This international standard requires systems and processes to be in place to continuously improve energy performance. With this in mind, improving energy efficiency is integrated into the design and operation of CERN’s accelerators and experimental areas. This talk summarises past and present efforts at all levels (organisational, system and equipment) to improve energy efficiency. Looking to the future, studies are ongoing to develop the efficient powering for future accelerator designs.
