The consortium is comprised of nine industrial beneficiaries, six academic beneficiaries, one associated partner whose action is funded by United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI) and five additional associated partners supporting secondments of the doctoral candidates (see below for details).<\/p>\n<p>The project is coordinated by Prof. David T. S\u00e1nchez Mart\u00ednez, University of Seville (Spain), and has a total duration of forty eight months, from January 2023 to December 2026. The total budget is M4.45 \u20ac, of which M3.84 \u20ac are funded by the European Commission and M0.61 \u20ac are funded by UKRI.<\/p>\n<p>The aim of this four-year work programme is to undertake cutting edge multidisciplinary research and development to make a step change in understanding and advancing Supercritical CO<sub>2<\/sub> based power generation systems\u2019 technology. This will enable a step change in the role played by power and heat cycles to become major contributors to achieving the 2050 zero emissions targets. ISOP will achieve this goal while providing specialised training for 17 doctoral researchers to help establish the backbone of an important industry.<\/p>\n<p>The technical objectives of this research are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Develop advanced models and design tools that enable the optimal integration of sCO\u2082 power systems components for various thermal energy sources and end use applications<\/li>\n<li>Develop accurate prediction tools for the simulation of transient operation of sCO\u2082 power cycles and investigate innovative concepts of control and optimisation of operation<\/li>\n<li>Develop innovative methods to enhance aerodynamic and mechanical performance, reliability, and operability of key system components<\/li>\n<li>Develop advanced modelling and experimental methods that enable selection and development of materials, coatings and manufacturing techniques<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The project aims to contribute to the EU agenda on European Research Area by training \u201ca new generation of creative, entrepreneurial and innovative early-stage researchers\u201d, who can face future challenges and to \u201cconvert knowledge and ideas into products and services for economic and social benefit\u201d. In addition, support to and compliance with the United Nation\u2019s Sustainable Development Goals will be at the heart of the training of the doctoral candidates and the scientific and economic outcomes of this research.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table width=\"558\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"558\"><strong>ISOP partners<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\"><strong>Beneficiaries (country)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"161\"><strong>Affiliation<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">University of Seville (Spain)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Academia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">Instituto Superior Tecnico (Portugal)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Academia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">University of Stuttgart (Germany)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Academia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">Baker-Hughes (Italy)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Industry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">Fives Cryo (France)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Industry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">European Turbine Network (Belgium)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Industry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">Empresarios Agrupados Internacional (Spain)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Industry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">Advanced Center for Aerospace Technologies (Spain)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Industry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">SoftInWay (Switzerland)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Industry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">Technical University Wien (Austria)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Academia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">T\u00e9cnicas Reunidas (Spain)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Industry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">Czech Technical University in Prague (Czech Republic)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Academia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">Politecnico di Milano (Italy)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Academia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">Siemens Energy (Germany)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Industry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">RPOW Consulting (Spain)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Industry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\"><strong>Associated Partners (country)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"161\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">City, University of London (United Kingdom)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Academia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">INERCO (Spain)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Industry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">EASY Energy (Switzerland)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Industry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">Rosswag (Germany)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Industry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">Doosan-Skoda Power (Czech Republic)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Industry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">Azzero CO\u2082 (Italy)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">Industry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"397\">Plataforma Solar de Almer\u00eda (Spain)<\/td>\n<td width=\"161\">R&amp;D<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Project was officially launched at University of Seville on the 8<sup>th<\/sup> and 9<sup>th<\/sup> of February 2023. The kick-off meeting was attended by all beneficiaries and two associated partners (City, University of London, and Inerco). The agenda included roundtable presentations of all the beneficiaries -introducing their respective skills and competences-, overview of the general rules and procedures of the MSCA-DN-ID type of actions, and discussions about the implementation of technical work packages. Special attention was paid to recruitment and the associated training programme, since this is the cornerstones of any MSCA action.<\/p>\n<p>In spite of some showers on the 8<sup>th<\/sup>, Thursday was a typical sunny, springish day in Seville representing the bright future ahead of everyone involved in this initiative. A training event is scheduled for Q4 this year; more info will be share on social media.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-174 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/isopCO2.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Imagen2rrr.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1298\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/proyecto.us.es\/isopco2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Imagen2rrr.jpg 1298w, https:\/\/proyecto.us.es\/isopco2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Imagen2rrr-300x95.jpg 300w, https:\/\/proyecto.us.es\/isopco2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Imagen2rrr-1024x326.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/proyecto.us.es\/isopco2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Imagen2rrr-768x244.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1298px) 100vw, 1298px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Roundtable presentation of beneficiaries.
