Study Visit - IFE Norway
We had an amazing study visit to Institute For Energy Technology (IFE) Norway this month. IFE is an international research organisation focussing on energy and nuclear technology since 1948 when it was founded. We visited several of the research facilities and laboratories.
We had a introduction seminar about a little history on how IFE started, current research facilities in Norway and other parts of the world and also got introduce to state of the art research that is currently going on in the research institute.
This was the solar research centre where new grade silicons were being tested.
We also had a pHD researcher who took us around the chemistry facility and showed us testing of batteries.
We then had a visit to the thermal plant in Norway which produced power for district heating.
It was also a great opportunity for both first year and second year students to get to know each other.
