We have a 24/7 team that performs uninterrupted supervision and incident management 365 days a year. Infrastructure monitoring: Continuous supervision is carried out using specific monitoring systems adapted to each type of equipment (data centre infrastructure, transmission equipment, renewable energy generation). In addition, we have several Supervision Systems (BMS and SCADA) that integrate the monitoring of both data centre infrastructure and renewable energy generation. Client service monitoring: In addition to the infrastructure, continuous tracking of services provided to our clients is also carried out. Incident management: Upon detection of any type of incident in the monitoring system, the incident is…

Fade – Fall detector Currently, most smartphones available on the market have a set of sensors capable of providing relevant information for the detection of certain activities; GPS, accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers and so on. By generating mathematical algorithms capable of detecting the fall of a person according to the real-time readings provided by the available sensors, the creation of an application for Android-based mobile devices capable of detecting incidents of this type has arisen. Fade, which is able to run in the background, once it detects a possible fall, emits an alarm signal for the user to intervene and verify…
The Institute of Technology and Telecommunications of Tenerife (IT3) It is a neutral telecommunications operator created by the Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables (ITER) with the mission of promoting and developing the internal and external connectivity of the island of Tenerife through its participation in various local and international projects aimed at expanding and promoting the Information Society on the island of Tenerife and, by extension, in the rest of the Canary Islands archipelago. IT3 is deploying a dark fibre ring: the Tenerife Island Telecommunications Ring (hereinafter AITT) over the road and rail infrastructure of the Island of Tenerife,…
Isla 100% Isla 100% is a multiplatform application for mobile devices that, in the form of a game, shows the importance of the use of Renewable Energies in island territories. The objective of this educational game is to achieve the maximum penetration of renewable energies on an island initially dependent on conventional energy, taking into account that the penetration of renewable energies in the electricity system must be carried out without failing to meet the demand at all times, at reasonable costs and taking into account the existing resources of the island. Thus, renewable energy sources such as wind, photovoltaic,…
Supercomputing The supercomputing service offers the ability to perform high-performance intensive computing using the infrastructure available on the Teide supercomputer, from simulations of the evolution of the Universe to the design of more efficient industrial parts. It is available to university research teams, national and international research centers, or companies that need to use these types of systems in their research, development, or innovation projects. The use of the SLURM workload manager enables the optimisation of the use of available resources among all users, while adhering to quality of service policies, optimising the system’s energy consumption, and allowing for subsequent…
Inverter TEIDE 100 Whether for specific end-use applications or as necessary during the execution of other projects, various products have been developed. Some of these are listed below, which, although not currently commercialised, have demonstrated their viability for commercialisation or technology transfer through use. 100 kW inverter, Teide 100 model, for grid-connected photovoltaics Three-phase 100kW photovoltaic inverter for grid injection. It can be used in installations up to 900V-Voc and 160A-Isc with a nominal power of 100kW at 3X400VAC. It is a simple and reliable inverter designed to optimise costs and efficiency. The maximum efficiency reaches 98% at nominal power.…
Either for specific final applications or as necessary during the realization of other projects, the Electronics Department has developed several electronic products. These products have been made from scratch, covering all phases from conception and design to prototype construction and manufacturing. The specification is taken as a starting point and an electronic schematic is produced. Some parts may require simulation. If any part requires it or the circuit is simple, a prototype can be made with a PCB made ‘in situ’ or a drilling circuit. Generally, except in emergencies, printed circuit boards are ordered from the CAD-CAM design to an…
HEGEOTERMIA Data Budget: 84,746.34 € Financing: MINECO (50%) & INVOLCAN (50%) Reference: PTQ-12-05661 Acronym: HeGEOTERMIA Duration: 3 years (2013-2014-2015-2016) Principal Investigators: Dr. María Asensio, PhD / Dr. Nemesio M. Pérez, PhD Overview of the project Application and use of helium gas geochemistry in the ground atmosphere for geothermal exploration. The main objective of this project is to carry out a technical feasibility study on the application and use of surface gas geochemistry on the islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria as a novel geochemical technique for geothermal exploration. Geochemical and geophysical studies are key to selecting suitable areas for exploratory…
