Après France Relance, qui visait à faire sortir l’hexagone de la crise sanitaire, voici France 2030. Mardi, le chef de l’Etat a présenté ce plan d'investissement à 30 milliards d’euros sur cinq ans dont on connaît désormais les contours.
Comme le rapporte Zone bourse, une unité du conglomérat indien, Reliance Industries Ltd, a déclaré dimanche avoir racheté le fabricant de panneaux solaires Rec Solar pour 666 M€ à China National Bluestar. La société norvégienne envisage de construire une giga usine à Hambach.
Today’s featured metal forming company is Constellium, a leading supplier in design and fabrication of innovative aluminum products. While forming of such parts is a hot topic in automotive stamping today, it poses a number of challenges for many manufacturers, which we address with this inside story.
Presently the Constellium group runs twenty-two production sites throughout Europe, North America and China. Its research center located in Voreppe, France, has become a cradle of advanced aluminum solutions in the packaging, aerospace and automotive industries.
Currently, there is enough experimental evidence to show that friction coefficients evolve during hot stamping operations. However, hot stamping simulation results have thus far been derived from calculations that use a constant friction coefficient. Therefore, it was important for numerous parties including steel suppliers, OEMs, and AutoForm to improve the current industrial standard.
the Pareto Principle is based on the premise that the successive parameters contribute less to simulation accuracy. In other words, the essential parameters must be defined first, followed by the crucial parameters, and ending with the important parameters. By properly defining and validating these three groups, we already have an accurate and precise simulation model as they comprise 95% of the total simulation accuracy. This means that the simulation result will be highly representative of the future production reality.
Shell and renewable energy developer Island Green Power have signed a framework agreement to develop utility-scale solar PV projects with co-located battery storage potential in the UK. Together they will target over 700MW of generating capacity.
Additionally, the company has partnered with Clearstone Energy to develop a number of utility-scale solar PV projects in the South-East of England, allowing generation close to customer demand. These will have a total combined export capacity of 100MW, with co-located storage potential.
Trina Storage launched its new lithium iron phosphate (LFP) utility-scale battery storage cabinet and Sungrow launched its new line of residential battery storage at Intersolar Europe last week.
Trina Storage, the energy storage division of China-headquartered vertically integrated solar PV module manufacturer Trina Solar, provides fully-integrated battery energy storage system (BESS) solutions to the renewable energy and grid storage markets.
