CFS won two DOE awards through the INFUSE program to spur fusion energy research, one for our SPARC tokamak to demonstrate net fusion energy and one for its successor, the ARC power plant. That brings our INFUSE award total to 23 — the most of any fusion energy company. DOE announced 17 INFUSE awards this year. They were established in 2019, but now they’re part of the department’s broader Fusion Energy Strategy 2024 to accelerate fusion energy through partnerships with the private sector. The CFS INFUSE work will take place at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and focuses on: - Using computer modeling to help inform how to operate SPARC’s exhaust system - Developing a laser-based method to measure the state of the molten salt “blanket” that breeds fuel and transfers heat energy in ARC The awards follow a June agreement worth $15 million in the first phase of DOE’s Milestone-Based Fusion Development Program to advance fusion energy. And both show the growing maturity of public-private partnerships to advance this form of clean, carbon-free energy. https://bit.ly/3SJFODN #FusionEnergy

𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐝 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐃𝐅 The global grid scale battery market was valued at $4.2 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $31 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 18.2% from 2023 to 2032. ✅ 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗢𝗖 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: @ https://lnkd.in/gju4FWBn A grid-scale battery, also known as a utility-scale battery or large-scale battery, is a large energy storage system designed to store and manage electricity at the scale of the electrical grid. These batteries are used to balance supply and demand, store excess energy generated from renewable sources like wind and solar, provide backup power, and improve the stability and reliability of the grid. Battery storage is a technology that enables power system operators and utilities to store energy for later use. A #battery #energy #storage system (#BESS) is an electrochemical device that charges (or collects energy) from the grid or a power plant and then discharges that energy at a later time to provide electricity or other grid services when needed.

AI will speed up development towards Fusion Energy - the cleanest and most economical form of energy possible, putting the renewable vs non-renewable energy debate to rest. Energy requirements are set to rise by 40% by 2035. These new figures are a distinct sign of the pressing need to put resources into the innovations that can open up supreme energy potentials for tomorrow. A total energy changeover can't be accomplished without Fusion energy - a groundbreaking, worldwide wellspring of clean, unlimited and safe energy. Fusion energy, the force of the sun and stars, has the potential to supply the future of the human race with energy at the most economic cost of all energy options. Late advancement has shown Fusion energy is now indeed possible. Cooperation by the public and private sectors, national strategies and ambitious power plant programmes in the UK and U.S. are being supported by progresses in man-made consciousness and AI. AI, due to its enhanced capacity for calculation, can interpret and monitor the subatomic processes that occur during most if not all chemical and physical processes, including Fusion. This will cut development times astronomically. What is Fusion energy and how does AI relate to it? Fusion, as opposed to fission, is the compression of 2 hydrogen atoms: deuterium and tritium. These are heated to form a plasma, which reaches temperatures hotter than the core of the sun. Under these conditions they fuse together to create helium and energy as byproducts. The energy is then harnessed to produce electricity and heat. The plasma is constrained using electro-magnets inside a spherical reactor named a "Tokamak". The energy released during a single fusion (not fission) process, will be many more times the quantity per kilogram of raw material than burning coal, oil, gas or implementing the use of wind turbines, solar panels or wave generators. A Tokamak Energy reactor, has its own computer system which is used to monitor the processes that are occurring during the fusion reactor. By implementing an AI computer system to work alongside the reactor, processes can be monitored and reacted to far more quickly and accurately than contemporary machines. The implementation of AI into the development of Fusion technology will open the gates to energy development and scientific discovery that until now has been only theoretical.

Today we publish our response to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero's consultation on a new National Policy Statement for Fusion Energy. The new Labour Government must recognise the opportunity of fusion and act immediately to maintain the UK’s world-leading position in the field. We are calling for: ✅ Support for multiple fusion technologies: The NPS should ensure genuine Government support for both magnetic and inertial fusion technologies currently under active development in the UK. This approach will increase the likelihood of a successful breakthrough and reflect the rapid progress being made to date with inertial fusion. ✅ Clear siting guidelines for fusion plants: To avoid potential delays similar to those experienced with grid connections for other types of commercial power plant, the NPS must develop and publish clear guidelines for the siting of fusion plants. ✅ A coordinated cross-departmental approach: A coordinated and joined-up approach across both the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology will be essential to progressing fusion research and development and commercialisation. ✅ An ambitious target date for commercial fusion: The Government’s proposals for a National Policy Statement for fusion in their current form do not commit to a specific deployment deadline for commercial fusion energy facilities. Establishing a target date for first commercial fusion in the UK by 2040 will catalyse investment, research and focus towards achieving this goal. This should be ambitious yet achievable to drive progress and demonstrate the UK’s ongoing commitment to leading in fusion energy.
