Restitution seminar at the end of the SWIO-ENERGY research project

Thursday April 13 at 10:45 a.m. - Moufia Campus

Béatrice MOREL, scientific manager of the project, Patrick JEANTY, technical manager of the project and Chao Tang, project manager, as well as their team are pleased to invite you to the closing seminar of the regional cooperation research project SWIO-Energy (Solar and Wind Energy in the Indian Ocean) which will present the results of these 36 months of innovative research and their impacts for the islands of Reunion and Mauritius.

the project's objectives

Climate change requires us to find carbon-free energy resources very quickly. Since the approval of the Climate Convention in 1992, the observation of the climate and its changes over the past decades has greatly increased in importance. It is in fact necessary to obtain long-term, high-quality measurement series to make decisions about climate change, human influence and future climate scenarios.

The specificities of this project lie in the development and analysis of climate simulations for the future (mid and end of the century) and at a fine spatial scale, which is of strong interest for the energy independence of Reunion and Mauritius. . This project provides better knowledge of the variability of available solar and wind resources and thus better integrates them into the electricity production system.


The long-term objective is to make this island territory self-sufficient by increasing the proportion of renewable energy.
