Research, development and innovation (R+D+i) are the main basis of ITER’s work. Under this philosophy, the activities of the electronics laboratory are developed. This laboratory is located in one of the warehouses of the ITER facilities and its main objective is the design, construction and testing of circuits and electronic devices, based on analog and digital electronics. The high qualification and extensive professional experience of our staff allows us to develop our own electronic technology. On the one hand, the facilities are prepared for the design and testing of electronic circuits, as well as for the manufacturing of small series…

Teide HPC (High Performance Computing) is a fundamental part of the ALiX project for the implementation of infrastructures aimed at the creation of an industrial fabric around Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Tenerife. The Teide supercomputer offers researchers and companies a means of high processing capacity to improve and expand the national and international scope of research and development. It is worth noting that it was present in the top500 list of the most powerful supercomputers in the world, ranking 138th in the November 2013 list. For the implementation of this infrastructure, ITER has received a total of 8.5…
MODELING WORKSHOP ITER has a modeling workshop for the fabrication of the mock-ups to be tested in the wind tunnel as well as prototypes developed in-house. Capabilities CAD/CAM technology: three-dimensional modeling and manufacturing of prototypes, molds and various tools. 3D printing: additive manufacturing technology with thermofusible materials, especially suitable for the manufacture of small prototypes. CNC milling machine: used in the manufacture of tools and prototypes in medium/high resistance materials such as plastics, wood, aluminum, copper, etc. Composites: together with the ability to make tooling with CAD/CAM technology, the workshop has various tools for making the necessary tools for the…
The Energy Efficiency Field R&D&I Laboratory for Tenerife is a mobile equipment created within the framework of the MACLAB-PV project “Improvement of R&D&I capacities and infrastructures in the renewable energy and energy efficiency sector in the Canary Islands and Senegal”, co-financed by the INTERREG MAC 2014-2020 Program. This new mobile equipment complements the Living Lab CB ITER, a fixed energy efficiency laboratory where the solutions implemented in the 24 accommodation units that make it up can be evaluated and tested. With it, ITER’s field of action in energy efficiency is considerably extended, being able to determine solutions for specific buildings…
CANALINK – CANARIAS SUBMARINE LINK Canalink, one of the companies belonging to the ITER group, is the owner of a submarine fiber optic cable system that links the Canary Islands with the Iberian Peninsula and the west coast of Africa. It also has exchange agreements with other operators and participates in submarine cable consortiums with the aim of interconnecting Europe with Africa and turning Tenerife, and more specifically the D-Alix data processing center, into a massive neutral traffic exchange center. Underwater network The submarine network is formed by the links that connect Tenerife with Cadiz, Tenerife with La Palma and…
AITT – TENERIFE ISLAND TELECOMMUNICATIONS RING (ANILLO INSULAR DE TELECOMUNICACIONES DE TENERIFE) The Anillo Insular de Telecomunicaciones de Tenerife (AITT) is a fiber optic ring that runs through the island of Tenerife. The Instituto Tecnológico de Telecomunicaciones de Tenerife (IT3) is responsible for its management and operation, the first phase of which connects the metropolitan area of the island with the D-ALiX datacenter and passes through 12 municipalities. IT3 is a neutral telecommunications operator created by the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife and framed within the ALiX project. In its second phase, the ring will be closed around the entire island…
D-ALIX – DATACENTER FOR ALIX One of the differentiating elements of our datacenter is its location. D-ALiX is located on the grounds of the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energy, next to the Science and Technology Park of Granadilla. In addition, the Reina Sofia airport (Tenerife South) is less than 10km away and a future seaport of Granadilla is nearby. A second airport, Los Rodeos (Tenerife North), is less than an hour’s drive away and the seaport of Santa Cruz de Tenerife is just over 50 km away. There is easy access to the facilities via the TF1 highway, which…
POWER GENERATION CONTROL CENTER, ELECTRICITY NETWORK DELEGATE The Generation Control Center of the Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables (CCG-ITER) supervises in real time the operation of 145 renewable electricity production facilities, totaling more than 51 MW. It operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and manages data from 3 wind farms, 7 photovoltaic plants and more than 135 individual photovoltaic installations from different groups. Renewable energies present certain unique characteristics, mainly due to the dispersion of this generation, the variability of its production determined by changing environmental conditions, the uncertainty in its prediction and the technology used…
Due to the requirements of the Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables for its projects, a factory of photovoltaic modules has been started up, which not only allows supplying ITER with its needs, but also allows continuing and expanding the research that the Institute has been developing in this field. The factory is located in a building 125 meters long and 20 meters wide divided into three sections, one for the storage of raw materials, a second for manufacturing and the third for the storage of photovoltaic modules. In total there are 2500 m2, 1500 dedicated to storage of raw…
