SIXTH StoRIES TRANSNATIONAL ACCESS CALL
TNA Call No.: 6
Date of closing: 15.01.2025
Call topic: Computational studies on solutions for hybrid energy storage systems: Virtual access
The call topic focusses on virtual access only, the research infrastructure offering the virtual access is the Eni cluster (specifications see below).
​
The call topic is open to different sources of innovation: material research, development and testing of a component, device or device cluster, simulation of systems or system components, etc. and the integration of the innovation in the energy system. ​
​
​The topic addresses a multitude of different energy storage technologies and their combinations for enabling long duration (from several hours to months) energy storage and is explicitly open to all technology readiness levels (TRLs). ​
​
​Further assessment of the EU energy storage needs (regardless of short or long-duration) are also strongly invited and encouraged.
​
Applicants from academia, research institutions, SMEs and industry are invited to apply.

When applying please address the following points
​
In the proposal should be mentioned:
-
Code to be used; in particular:
-
Open source or commercial?
-
License needed? If yes, the user must provide it.
-
-
Target architecture (cpu only; cpu/gpu)

-
Number of simulations to be performed and duration of a single simulation
-
Disk space needed to store data input and output during the project
-
Timeframe of the project
-
If available, given the applicant has already used some HPC facilities with this code, some graphs on performance and scalability of the chosen code for the models to be simulated.
