Contents of the « Solar Thermal » specializationprerequisite: basics in thermal transfer, fluid mechanics and energetics
• Very innovative formation with a unique focus on the CSP technologies• Multidisciplinary skills : optics, thermal transfer, materials science,
thermodynamics, energetics,…• Unique skills in system simulation (work with industrial softwares and
numerical tools dedicated to CSP design and simulation)• Experience on unique solar facilities
High Temperature 90 h • Concentrating system and receiver• Solar Plants• Solar fuels
Thermal Storage 30 h
Fundamentals 60 h• Radiative heat transfer• Coupled heat and mass transfer
Low Temperature 60 h• Solar collectors• Solar conversion (heating, cooling, power)
Formation divided into 4 modules, modules are composed of 30 h blocks :
Solar facilities available 4/8
Solar facilities Low T : Solar collectors and solar cooling/heating plant in Perpignan
High T : Medium Size Solar facilities in Font Romeu-Odeillo
Solar collector test bench Solar cooling plants
Medium size solar furnaces (1 -1.5 kW)
Solar chemical reactor for solar fuels production(1 kW)

Students are fully integrated into the social life of the laboratory
Others activities They can enjoyed our everyday-life in the Pyrenees Mountains by skiing, hiking or visiting the seaside.
They can have lunch in the lab staff restaurant
Social life
They have their own lounge room for studying breaks
