The photographer took numerous snapshots of the ITER facilities as well as some of its researchers. Guillermo Galván, head of ITER´s Wind Energy department, accompanied the photographer, who is preparing an article for NATURE magazine about the work of a researcher involved in wind energy. During the visit, the head of the wind energy department showed him the various sites where they regularly conduct their work. They visited the generation control centre, viewed ITER’s five wind farms from different locations, visited and were explained the functioning of the wind tunnel, and also witnessed a test flight of a drone used…

On May 7th, they visited ITER’s facilities to learn about the D-ALiX data center capabilities and the TEIDE HPC supercomputer. Begoña Ortiz Lestón, CEO, and Jesús Rodriguez Alamo, Director of Engineering, accompanied the visitors during the tour to explore the Teide HPC (High-Performance Computing). This is a key component of the ALiX project aimed at launching infrastructures focused on creating an industrial fabric around Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). It’s worth noting that since last year, the TEIDE HPC has a new device that, through Artificial Intelligence, complements and expands ITER’s supercomputing capabilities, increasing its current capacity from 260 TLOPS…
On May 7th they visited the ITER facilities to know the D-ALiX CPD capabilities and the TEIDE HPC supercomputer. Begoña Ortiz Lestón, CEO, and Jesús Rodriguez Alamo, Engineering Director, accompanied the interested parties during the visit to see the Teide HPC (High Performance Computing). This is a fundamental part of the ALiX project for the implementation of infrastructures oriented to the creation of the industrial fabric around Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). It should be noted that since last year, the TEIDE HPC has a new device, which through Artificial Intelligence complements and expands the supercomputing capabilities of ITER, increasing…
These systems are of interest for the development of R&D projects at ITER such as the PERSEO project. The presentation event organized by Datadron and CHCNAV was held at the Port Inspections Center (CIAG) of the Granadilla de Abona Port, enabling researchers from ITER to establish contact with CHCNAV and Datadron companies. The event served as a platform for researchers to showcase the R&D work being carried out at ITER and to lay the groundwork for future collaboration or synergies between the entities. These aerial systems are of interest to the Robotics and Automation group at ITER as they align…

The activity promoted by Involcan will take place at ITER (Granadilla) and La Orotava on May 9 and 16, respectively. The Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (Involcan), organizes a new edition of the Science and Volcanoes Fair with the aim of promoting scientific vocations among students in 3rd and 4th of Compulsory Secondary Education and 1st and 2nd of Baccalaureate. The activity will involve the participation of 11 educational centers and will take place at the Visitors Centre of the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER) – also dependent on the Cabildo located in Granadilla – on Thursday,…

The first ENERCON wind turbine installed in Spain was installed at ITER. The Wind Energy Department of ITER accompanied yesterday the company ENERCON, which commemorated in the Canary Islands the achievement of 1 GW of wind power installed in Spain, and in this act it was shown that the first wind turbine installed in Spain was its model E-32, which was installed in ITER, through the mediation of the founder of Enercon, Aloys Wobben, and his engineer Hans-Jochen Arndt. The installation of this wind turbine was one of the first bets of the manager and founder of ITER, Mr. Manuel…
The first wind turbine installed in Spain by the company ENERCON was installed in ITER. ITER’s Wind Department accompanied ENERCON yesterday as the company celebrated reaching 1 GW of installed wind power in Spain. During this event, it was highlighted that the first wind turbine installed in Spain was their E-32 model, installed at ITER through the efforts of Enercon’s founder, Aloys Wobben, and their engineer Hans-Jochen Arndt. The installation of this wind turbine was one of the first commitments of ITER’s manager and founder, Mr. Manuel Cendagorta-Galarza, to install renewable energies in Tenerife. Since then, ITER has installed 68.3…
This medal acknowledges his outstanding scientific contributions to the study of soil gas geochemistry in volcanic areas, and for promoting international research programs in Europe, Asia, Central America, South America, and Africa. The Division of Data Systems and Instrumentation of Geosciences of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) has awarded the Christiaan Huygens Medal 2024 to Dr. Nemesio M. Pérez, Director of the Environmental Area of ITER and Scientific Coordinator of the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (INVOLCAN).
