PLATFORMS

SATIE, a research laboratory in applied sciences in the field of electrical engineering, places great importance on experimentation. Our work is based on different platforms.

Instrumentation and imaging

LaserInnov is an innovation platform integrating laser-based equipment and know-how for the non-destructive testing (NDT) of materials. It enables the characterization of materials at different scales, via various wave-matter interactions: optics by colorimetry, Raman analysis, laser vibrometry, acoustics.

We have the means to characterize LF sensors (impedance meters, spectrum analyzers) and specific expertise in resonator-type devices.

RF electromagnetic sensors (100 MHz – 10 GHz) (Saclay).

The clean room at ENS Rennes (80 m2, class 1000) is dedicated to the development, shaping and surface treatment of materials for sensors and microsystems.

We have a wide range of characterization resources:

  • morphological characterization (optical microscopy, metrology by profilometry)
  • electrical characterization (point tests, frequency meter, potentiostat, etc.)
  • optical characterization (microscopy-spectroscopy-electromicrofluidics coupling, optical spectroscopy)

 

 

We have the means to develop and make functional surfaces and to characterize them:

  • FTIR & UV-Vis spectrometers for the characterization (structure, nature, concentration of species) of functionalized surfaces
  • atomic force microscope for characterizing morphology and surface conditions
  • potentiostats and galvanostats for electrochemical characterization and measurements
  • impulse network analyzers and systems for gravimetric characterization and measurement

Gravimetric characterizations/measurements

Autonomous and intelligent vehicles

Instrumented and automated electric vehicle (Zoe).

We have instrumented or robotic motorcycles for measuring driver behavior and studying motorcycle dynamics.

We have a motorcycle dynamics simulator for studying driver behavior with a view to matching behavior to uses.

CONTINUUM est un EquipEx+ porté par le CNRS dans le cadre du 4ème Programme d'investissements d'avenir (PIA4). Lancé en 2021, doté de 13,6M€, le projet porte sur la création d'une infrastructure collaborative de 30 plateformes situées dans toute la France.

Dans ce cadre, l'Institut Farman (CNRS FR 3311) développe la plateforme Shiva - HDR wall display (mur d'image haute luminosité). Il s'agit d'une plateforme de visualisation dédiée à un "simulateur de déplacement (interaction conducteur/véhicule/environnement) pour des scènes quasi-naturelles à forte luminosité. Shiva (dotée de 130k€) sera installée dans le bâtiment Digiteo (Université Paris-Saclay - SATIE).

Responsable de Shiva : Eric Vourc'h (Institut Farman - SATIE).

Responsable scientifique : Stéphane Espié (SATIE).

Energy conversion and renewable energy (RE)

  • 2 x 750 W wind turbines.
  • 2 kWp of polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic panels.
  • 10 kWh Li-ion storage.
  • Hardware emulator of an electrical chain of direct fuel cells with supercapacitor smoothing system.

Testing and characterization facilities for fuel cells (Hydrogène énergie Belfort platform)

  • test bench for studying the effects of mechanical compression on the performance of a fuel cell (PEMFC)

  • PEMFC test bench for micro-cogeneration (mCHP)

Platform for the automatic/semi-automatic characterization of high-speed electric machines on a driving cycle (useful power < 5 kW).

Reliability and ageing of components

We have a platform for aging or robustness tests on power electronic components to test their conditions of use or their environment. In particular, we can study the following effects:

  • Effects of active and passive cycling (Sarory, UGE, ENS Paris-Saclay): test benches for power cycling aging tests in DC and PWM modes. Climatic chambers for thermal cycling tests.
  • Effects of repeated short-circuit and avalanche conditions (CNAM Paris, ENS Paris-Saclay): electrical characterizations (high-power tracer); double pulse benches to characterize switching losses (up to 4kV, 4kA, -50°C/200°C).

Other means of characterization: thermal analyzer (T3STER).

Analysis tools: SEM, optical microscopy, digital microscopy, etc.

We have a platform that allows us to measure the effects of cycles and the restrictive uses of a fuel cell.

 

Power integration and EMC

Moyens de réalisation et caractérisation de dispositifs d’électronique de puissance, mesures électriques , cyclage thermique, mesures électromagnétiques des perturbations conduites, capteurs et instrumentations adaptées.

Characterization of materials for electrical energy

Magnétomètre vibrant, perméamètre d'Epstein (pour les mesures normalisées en champ AC, BF et HF), magnétomètre à impulsions.

Systèmes de mesure pour les tôles magnétiques :

  • système haute fréquence (mesure par Hcoil et Bcoil) ;
  • système haute induction : mesures par thermocouple dans chambre à vide.
