From 8 to 10 June 2022, CEA-Liten and DLR co-organised the 3rd Training for Industries course at INES – Institut National de l’Energie Solaire in Le Bourget-du-Lac, France. This course was designed for engineers, researchers and representatives from European CSP and SHIP industry and companies, and dedicated to “Durability of solar materials and systems”.
It welcomed 8 professionals from Magaldi Power (Italy), Absolicon Solar Collector (Sweden), Universidade do Minho (Portugal), Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi / Middle East Technical University (Turkey) and Plataforma Solar de Almería – CIEMAT (Spain). The training consisted of both theoretical and practical modules, and included facilities’ visits and practical test cases. Knowledge-Transfer covered the following topics:
- Indoor laboratory and outdoor aging facilities
- Accelerated ageing of components and systems subjected to high solar flux, thermal, humidity and corrosive environments
- Optical and mechanical characterizations
- Accelerated aging test modeling durability method
- Practical test cases
