Présentation

Optimizing energy and environmental performance: a need in order to face some major issues of the 21st Century 

Strong synergies between various skills enabling a multidisciplinary approach

  • The ESP Carnot Institute provides its partners with expertise, know-how and relevant measurement means in the fields related to the optimization of energy systems and propulsion systems: from fluid mechanics and energetics to the study of the emissions and their environmental impacts, as well as materials, acoustics and embedded systems. 
  • The ESP Carnot Institute teams are located in Normandy and they are used to implement joint projects while having complementary means. That enables them to offer a suitable answer to the industrial problems through an approach ranging from the most fundamental stage (from TRL 1-2 to TR 2-6) to the pre-competitive one. 
  • The ESP Carnot Institute aims to successfully implement new transformation processes which require less energy and which are more reliable and environmentally favourable. 

     

A highly developed partnership research

  • Most research activities of the ESP Carnot institute deals with industrial needs and is carried out in partnership with companies.
  • The ESP Carnot Institute supports the regional Normandie AeroEspace and Energies Haute-Normandie networks.
  • Its teams are research actors in a lot of French “pôle de compétitivité” clusters such as MOV’EO, Aerospace Valley, ASTech, System@tic.
  • And involved in European programmes (H2020, Interreg, ...).

Target markets

  • Automobile and mobility
  • Aeronautics and Space
  • Energy 

Know-how and skills

  • Tests, analysis and research activities in the fields of combustion, injection and plasmas
  • Modelling and supercomputing in reactive and non-reactive fluid mechanics, heat transfer 
  • Micro and nanostructural characterization of materials
  • Electromagnetic compatibility studies
  • Diagnostics, control/command of complex systems
  • Intelligent vehicle and transport systems
  • Investigation and test for acoustic and vibratory phenomena
  • Engine tests
  • Study of the emissions from energy systems (sources, impacts, toxicology)
  • Scientific instrumentation
  • Physical and optical measurements

PhD students financed by industry 

  • The ESP laboratories are very active both at a good national level and on the European stage
  • That enables them to develop sustainable contractual relationship through common thesis with industrial partners 
  • This involvement in academic research ensures a large permanent potential of high quality human resources for the ESP Carnot Institute
