RF2.0 Webinar #5: Lifetime energy-cost prediction for accelerator facilities (KIT)

Thursday Nov 5, 2026, 2:00 PM → 2:30 PM Europe/Berlin

Accelerator facilities face significant long-term energy expenses, making reliable forecasting essential for strategic planning. This webinar, prepared by KIT, presents a lifetime energy-cost prediction model that simulates the full operational trajectory of an accelerator. 

The model accounts for component aging, technology upgrades, maintenance periods, and realistic operational scenarios. By integrating historical cost data and allowing parameter variations (such as changing electricity prices or beam-time availability) it provides a robust engine for analyzing long-term scenarios and guiding strategic planning and investment decisions.
