Installations solaires d'odeillo pour la recherche

Objective



Principal characteristics of the facility and of the support offered to users:
IMP Laboratory is, at ODEILLO, operator of the CNRS Solar Research Large Installations the MWFS, 1 Megawatt Solar Furnace, 1000 watt/cm2 at focal plane. The MSSFs, a versatile ensemble of 11 medium size solar furnaces, 1 to 6 kW power, achieving 1500 W/cm2 on 2 kW concentrators.
All areas are fully equiped with vacuum or controlled atmosphere chambers, irradiation monitoring, temporal shaping, performant instrumentation for experimental diagnostics for thermo-radiative properties measurements, up-to date instrumentation for materials analysis and characterisation. IMP has large expertise in materials transformation or elaboration and processes with concentrated solar radiation; similar field studies by other techniques, CVD, arcs, lasers, plasmas, experimental and modelling, are also on-going at ODEILLO.
Facility may provide a performant and versatile tool for novel methods and processes studies, on new performant materials, surface treatment, solid waste processing, high temperature thermo-chemistry, high intensity photo-chemistry . The high power installation also permit large scale simulation, at pre-industrial scale or, of materials and components in extreme conditions (near sun in space, re-entry situations). IMP has experienced, collaborations and facility access with external users from France, Europe and USA.
Quantity of access being offered and number of users who may benefit: The access offered is for a 3 years contract. 69 weeks of access (21 on Megawatt MWFS, 48 on Medium size MSSFs) for an estimated number of 29 scientists

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
