Case
DEACT
Data Centres as active energy citizens (DEACT) is a Business Finland funded Co-Creation project aiming to examine the feasibility of data centres as a collaborative network to offer energy demand flexibility. The purpose of this R&D project is to develop the technology to implement demand-side response in data centres. The socio-economic goal of the project is to contribute towards increasing the adoption of renewable energy production methods in power grids.
Case
SMARAGDI
SMARAGDI is a Co-Creation project funded by Business Finland developing high temperature superconductor technologies for advancing the modelling, manufacturing, automation and testing of superconducting magnets. Improving the qualities, usability and reliability of high temperature superconducting magnets requires experimental development and advanced laboratory facilities. As a part of ongoing research in Tampere University, one of the most important goals of this project is to set up a superconductor lab, in which assembly and testing for Finnish superconductor development projects can be completed.
