A research team led by Jan Najser has developed two new plasma torches with power outputs of 50 kW and 100 kW. The units are designed for the thermochemical conversion of feedstocks into synthesis gas (syngas) with a high proportion of hydrogen. The smaller plasmatron is intended primarily for experimental units, while the higher-capacity variant is ready for continuous industrial operations.
The kick-off meeting for the cooperative project " Robotic Assistance for High Voltage Diagnostics and Service Technologies" (TS03020251) recently took place at the ENET Centre. The project focuses on the development and validation of an autonomous control system for a humanoid robot that could, in the future, assist with maintenance and diagnostic tasks on electrical distribution network equipment, particularly in environments where the risk of electric shock is high.
CEET and the Taiwanese university NCUT have signed a Memorandum of Understanding, opening the door to joint projects, scientific mobility and publications.
A delegation from the Hyundai Motor Group visited the Centre for Energy and Environmental Technologies (CEET), VSB-TUO. Experts on hydrogen strategy from South Korea and Europe.
