Carnot Prize : large-scale electricity storage takes center stage

The Carnot Partnership Research Awards, which highlight successful partnerships between teams from the 39 Carnot Network institutes and companies, were presented on 16 October at the Palais des Congrès in Massy, France. David Teixeira, head of the Numerical Physics of Porous Media department at Carnot IFPEN Ressources Énergétiques, was awarded the Carnot Prize for research partnerships with a SME for a large-scale electricity storage project carried out in partnership with STOLECT. We caught up with the winner of the prize to find out more.

Energy storage
Energy storage consists in preserving a quantity of energy produced for later use. The idea is to ensure a balance between energy production and consumption, reduce losses and, hence, optimize costs.
