SUMMARY:2nd TANDEM Technical Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The TANDEM project is organising a second\, free\, open technical workshop on 20-21 February 2025 and will be held at “Le Benedettine” Congress Centre of the University of Pisa (UNIPI)\, Pisa (Italy) on ‘Modelling and optimisation tools to assess hybrid energy systems integrating nuclear reactors’. \nThe technical workshop is specifically conceived for MSc and PhD students\, PostDocs\, young and experienced researchers and engineers that are interested in deepening their knowledge on the potential role that hybrid energy systems including Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) play in the ongoing energy transition.\nThe workshop will focus on the description of SMR modelling and optimisation tools to assess hybrid energy systems integrating nuclear reactors\, together with the SMR coupling with other energy sources and energy storage systems in hybrid energy systems. \nPlease note that\, given the specificity of the technical workshop\, applicants are required to have a general background in nuclear systems. The registration deadline for the workshop is 15 January 2025. The number of in-person participants will be limited to 30 people. Registrations will therefore be subject to selection by the organisers. Please note that the event will also be accessible online for those unable to attend physically. \nRegister here and find the event agenda here. \nFor the organising committee of the 2nd TANDEM technical workshop at ”Le Benedettine” Congress Centre of the University of Pisa: \n\nWalter Ambrosini\, University of Pisa\nAndrea Pucciarelli\, University of Pisa\nAlessandro De Angelis\, University of Pisa\nClaire Vaglio-Gaudard\, CEA – Coordinator of TANDEM project\nStefano Lorenzi\, Politecnico di Milano\nMarco Ricotti\, CIRTEN\nGabriel Pavel\, ENEN – Leader of the E&T activities in the TANDEM project\n\nTake a look at the previous edition of the TANDEM Technical Workshop that took place in September 2024 in Cadarache\, France

SUMMARY:TANDEM Final Conference
DESCRIPTION:TANDEM Final Conference will take place on 2 July at Thon Hotel EU – Rue de la Loi 75\, 1000 Bruxelles. \nThe three-year TANDEM project will come to an end in August 2025 (more information about the project). This conference aims to present the main outcomes of the project. During the morning sessions\, high-level messages will be shared with the participants: \nThe role of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Advanced Modular Reactors (AMRs) in the EU\, an overview of the approach implemented in the project to demonstrate the feasibility of hybrid energy systems (HES) which include nuclear\, the required conditions at EU and national levels to foster the deployment of SMRs and AMRs and their integration together with renewables\, energy storage systems\, heat networks\, hydrogen plants\, desalination plants\, etc.\, presentation of the policy briefs developed by the project\, stakeholder engagement recommendations\, and skills & workforce needs. \nThe afternoon will focus more on the technical results of the project\, including: \nThe modelling tools used to implement and study nuclear hybrid energy systems\, the extension of the conventional safety approach to assess nuclear hybridisation and cogeneration\, and techno-economics studies covering illustrative cases to show the viability of such nuclear hybrid energy systems. \nAt the end of the conference\, we will discuss the way to turn the integration of SMRs and AMRs in HES into reality\, while ensuring the competitiveness of the technologies implemented in HES and speeding up their deployment through digitalisation. It will require the tackling of several R&D and technical aspects\, enabling the fostering of cross-sectorial collaborations between nuclear and renewable communities. \nTargeted participants:  \nThis conference is open to all satekholders interested in the integration of SMRs withins hybrid energy systems and the production of heat\, electricity and hydrogen. The development of such systems will strongly contribute to the energy transition and the EU security of energy supply. It has been designed to share the main outomes of project and to engage in a constructive dialogue with EU & national policy makers and regulators\, as well as representatives from the broader energy sector\, energy intensive industries\, R&D community and NGOs. \nAgenda: \n \nAbout TANDEM \nThe overall ambition of the Euratom TANDEM (“Small Modular ReacTor for a European sAfe aNd Decarbonized Energy Mix”) project is to promote multi-purpose Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) integrated into hybrid energy systems as reliable\, resilient\, and affordable clean energy options in Europe. The project focuses primarily on light water SMR technologies for near-term deployment in Europe by 2035\, but also aims to support the deployment of Advanced Modular Reactors of Generation IV by 2050 when technology-neutral outcomes are identified. \nThe intrinsic key feature of the TANDEM project is the development of an integrated vision of the low-carbon energy mix on a local/regional scale (a urban area or an industrial area). Indeed\, the project considers nuclear energy as an electricity and heat source to supply industrial processes and district heating – as in other Euratom projects working on nuclear co-/poly-generation – but also studies coupling (also referred to as “hybridization”) with renewables and energy carrier storage systems. The project is addressing the technical feasibility (safety\, operability and flexibility of the energy supply) and economic viability of such hybrid energy systems\, as well as citizen engagement regarding their deployment. \nThe project provides methodologies and tools for the technical assessment of Hybrid Energy Systems (HES) and implements them on demonstrative case studies of energy systems to be decarbonized. By mid-2025\, as expected\, the project will release policy briefs and technical guidelines supporting the safe and cost-effective deployment of SMRs/ AMRs in urban or industrial areas consistent with the future European low-carbon energy mix in Europe. \nIn parallel\, TANDEM has built an open and long-term community that will ensure expertise in the field of nuclear HES and support the wide acceptance of multipurpose SMRs and AMRs. This European community has forged close links with other international communities and industrial stakeholders\, to develop new collaborations and foster exchanges in the field of nuclear cogeneration\, non-electric applications of nuclear energy and nuclear HES. \nThe discussions between TANDEM and these international communities clearly underline that nuclear cogeneration and its integration into hybrid energy systems is an issue of utmost importance. TANDEM paves the way for the credibility of hybrid energy system integrating SMRs and AMRs on a local scale. \nRegistrations now closed. \nWhen registering\, please scroll down to answer all questions and click ‘submit’.
