The photographer took numerous snapshots of the ITER facilities as well as of some of its researchers.
The head of ITER’s Wind Energy Department Guillermo Galván accompanied the photographer who is preparing an article for NATURE magazine about the work done by a researcher working on wind energy.
During the visit, the head of the wind power department showed them the different sites where he performs his work on a regular basis. They visited the generation control center, contemplated the 5 wind farms of ITER from different locations, visited and were explained the operation of the wind tunnel and could also see a test flight of a drone to perform maintenance work on one of the wind turbines of the park.
In addition, the visit to the ITER facilities was complemented with other facilities such as the Teide HPC supercomputer in which meteorological calculations have been performed, which are used by the department to obtain the energy production forecasts of the ITER wind farms.
Next Tuesday, May 21st, our researcher Guillermo Galván will be interviewed. The interview will start with one of the photos selected by Di Costanzo and will give the researcher the opportunity to explain the work being done in the wind energy department of ITER.
