en.Wedoany.com Reported - Three research institutions in Spain's Extremadura region—the Advanced Technology Center of Extremadura (CETA-CIEMAT), the Iberian Center for Energy Storage Research (CIIAE), and the Extremadura Supercomputing Center (Computaex)—have signed a framework cooperation agreement to jointly advance R&D and innovation projects in the energy storage field through advanced scientific computing and simulation technologies.
Key areas of cooperation include the R&D of new materials and technologies for energy storage, optimization of energy systems, and the advancement of digitalization processes related to the energy transition. The project integrates the experimental capabilities, advanced modeling techniques, and supercomputing resources of each institution, aiming to address critical challenges in energy storage efficiency and technology.
The cooperation framework was signed by CETA-CIEMAT, Fundecyt-Pctex, and Computaex, with the agreement text published in Spain's Official State Gazette on April 25. CIIAE participates through its managing entity, Fundecyt-Pctex. As an initial step in the collaboration, representatives from the three institutions held a working meeting at the Extremadura Supercomputing Center. Attendees included José Miguel Franco Valiente, Director of CETA-CIEMAT; José Luis Canito, General Manager of Fundecyt-Pctex; and Juan Antonio Rico, General Manager of Computaex. Directors and researchers from CIIAE specializing in hydrogen, thermal storage, and atomic simulation of energy materials also attended, as these areas are expected to be the first technological fields for scientific collaboration.
On the same day, the first meeting of the agreement's Joint Monitoring Committee was held. This committee will be responsible for coordinating defined actions and establishing cooperation mechanisms among the participating centers. Additionally, the agreement plans to form a mixed working group composed of scientific and technical personnel from the three parties. This group will drive new research directions, identify funding opportunities, and promote joint participation in national and international R&D and innovation projects.
The specific goal of the collaboration is to jointly utilize experimental, simulation, and supercomputing resources to develop and validate solutions for energy storage applications. Work areas encompass new materials, energy storage technologies, energy system efficiency, and digitalization processes related to the energy transition. The agreement also includes professional training, knowledge transfer, and scientific dissemination activities, and plans to collaborate with students from the University of Extremadura through academic work related to the agreement's research directions.
