Dassault Systèmes announces that NAAREA, a French start-up company, will use the 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud platform to virtually design its solution, the XSMR – an extra-small sustainable modular nuclear reactor. XSMR is an ultra-compact source of clean energy that uses fuel from existing industrial waste reserves without consuming natural resources.
NAAREA will use the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to create an XSMR Virtual Twin. In this unified virtual environment, NAAREA can collaborate to design the reactor system, simulate its operation and validate it with end-to-end traceability and quality design. As the platform is Cloud-based, NAAREA can access Virtual Twin from anywhere, anytime and increase the number of users with access as needed.
“Energy production plays a key role in global efforts to achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. Our objective is to support these initiatives through the development of large-scale nano-power plants that produce abundant, carbon-free, decentralized, non-intermittent and highly autonomous energy, and at a lower cost than renewable energies, all of which complement and support them. as”, says Jean-Luc Alexandre, Co-founder and CEO of NAAREA.
“As the world moves away from the use of fossil fuels, we are helping companies in the energy sector to contribute to the sustainability goals set by the global community”, says Philippe Besse, Executive Director of EUROWEST at Dassault Systèmes. “Innovators like NAAREA can rely on the Virtual Twins experiences from our 3DEXPERIENCE platform to design, simulate and manufacture innovative industrial solutions,” says the executive. After developing XSMR, NAAREA will target applications in areas such as: transportation, agriculture and smart buildings.
