43. Key Technologies for Energy Efficient and Sustainable Accelerators: a survey from shareholders (P4T1)

F. Abusaif (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)

26/09/2024, 14:55

Over the past few years, the accelerators operations energy consumption has caught the attention of the facilities operators. The increasing energy cost and the higher attention to sustainability highlighted the importance of implementing and operating efficient and sustainable technologies and systems.

The Horizon Europe project Research Facility 2.0 (RF2.0) envisions a common work of...

71. Optimized Tunnel Climatization for PETRA IV (P4T2)

T. Warnecke (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY)

26/09/2024, 15:15

DESY is upgrading its storage ring X-ray light source PETRA. The entire machine is being replaced, but the old tunnel will continue to be used and requires a stable ambient temperature. The optimize thermal design parameters, the energy consumption, as well as the related operation cost and co2-emissions, of the Petra IV’s tunnel climatization have been investigated for different tunnel...

72. CO2 for Detector Cooling at CERN (P4T3)

P. Petagna (CERN)

26/09/2024, 15:35

At the end of the third “long shut down” of the LHC (LS3) the ATLAS and CMS experiments will start operating the largest silicon-based detectors ever built, featuring a cumulated power dissipation in the order of 800 kW and the requirement of keeping several hundreds of m2 of silicon surface at temperatures well below 0 °C. The thermal management of such detectors will be ensured by a cascade...

73. Heat Recovery at CERN, from a First multi–MW Case to a Generalised Approach

S. Claudet (CERN)

26/09/2024, 15:55

Heat recovery systems are seen as energy efficient actions and can reduce gas consumption by close to 80%, at the price of significant investments for existing systems. Close to 10 years ago, two multi MW cases were identified on existing infrastructure at CERN. A first project of 10 MW with a local community was studied, confirmed viable and launched with a convention signed in 2019 and now...

49. Fast Measurement Systems: How to Increase the Power Quality in Accelerator Energy Grids (P4T5)

N. Sapountzoglou (CERN), R. Vasapollo (Zaphiro Technologies)

26/09/2024, 16:45

The electrical distribution systems in particle accelerator facilities, typically use standard SCADA systems characterized by slower dynamics. To improve the observability and responsiveness of these networks, the integration of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) is proposed. These devices are capable of monitoring voltage and current fluctuations in real time, providing critical data that can be...

50. A Perspective Talk on Decarbonisation of the Cement Industry (Videoconference) (P4T6)

Rob van der Meer

26/09/2024, 17:05

Cement is an intermediate product used for concrete and finally constructions, houses, utilities, etc. The cement industry on global level is producing a significant amount of cement, with major countries like China and India. The European cement industry is relatively small with a production volume of about 175 Mtonnes/a.

Challenging in the production of cement is the emission of CO2 as...

51. Helium Management as Part of Sustainability (P4T7)

F. Ferrand (CERN)

26/09/2024, 17:25

Helium is a critical resource for various industries and scientific research infrastructures, including at CERN for operation of cryogenic systems for the Large Hadron Collider, associated detectors, and Testing Facilities. Despite its abundance in the universe, helium is a finite resource on Earth, mainly extracted from natural gas reserves. The increasing demand and limited supply require...

52. FlexRICAN EU Project: Flexibility for Research Infrastructures for global CArbon Neutrality (P4T8)

S. Ucer (FlexRICAN)

26/09/2024, 17:45

The FlexRICAN project, which started in March 2024, brings together three landmark ESFRI infrastructures that have different usages of energy: the European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS) in Sweden, the Extreme Light Infrastructure ERIC (ELI), with two running facilities (Czech Republic and Hungary) and the European Magnetic Field Laboratory AISBL (EMFL), with facilities in Grenoble and Nijmegen...
