For the past few years, IFPEN has been developing a methodology aimed at gaining a better understanding of physicochemical phenomena and calibrating empirical thermodynamic laws using in silico calculations based on a molecular simulation approach.
Naval Group has successfully generated electricity continuously for 18 days in representative submarine patrol operational conditions, thanks to a fuel cell (FC) powered by a hydrogen production system developed in partnership with IFPEN.
Energy storage Our strengths Expertise throughout the R&I chain: • Electrochemistry: testing and characterization resources on all representative scales, from the material through to the system: o For flow batteries: compartmentalized electrochemical cells, stack and module integrated into an electricity grid. o For Li-ion batteries: cell (button cell, pouch cell)
IFPEN focuses its activities on improving electric energy surface storage processes, adapted to network services, such as microgrids. Energy Management Systems (EMS) / Advanced Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage (AA-CAES) / Electrochemical storage via Redox Flow Batteries
Energy storage OVERVIEW AND CHALLENGES The energy transition targets an increasingly low-carbon economy. Observation Problem electricity produced on a large scale from renewable sources, primarily wind and solar >> variable production decentralized electricity production variable production and difficulty balancing electricity supply and demand; risk of disruption to electricity supplies in
Energy storage, one of the major challenges within the context of the energy transition, can take a variety of forms. For heat storage, one of the solutions developed at IFPEN is based on a fixed
