In the electricity sector, which is the sector that most uses the term, blackout means a power-cut that essentially requires the complicated reestablishment of the system. When this occurs in a critical infrastructure, such as an airport, which provides essential and vital services to our society, the objective of overcoming the blackout has to be … Read more
Since the second world war, aircraft have mainly been made from light metals such as Aluminium alloys. In the last decades, composite materials are progressively replacing metals for the structural components of aircraft. Composite materials provide a significant weight advantage: with the same structural strength, a lighter aircraft can be made. The most famous examples are the … Read more

El proyecto ITER es uno de los proyectos de inversión más grandes del mundo, en el que colaboran más de 35 países con el objetivo de demostrar la viabilidad de la fusión nuclear como fuente de energía inagotable. Para ello se está construyendo uno de los dispositivos de fusión por confinamiento magnético más grandes del mundo, en el que se probarán tecnologías, materiales y regímenes físicos integrados necesarios para la producción de electricidad basada en la fusión.
Tecnatom forma parte del proyecto aportando la creación de la plataforma de simulación de lo que será el simulador de la sala de control de ITER, la integración de modelos existentes desarrollados por distintos suministradores, la integración del sistema de control CODAC, el desarrollo de modelos adicionales, así como el mantenimiento y la formación en la plataforma.
