test bed

KMT’s second borehole will develop a test-bed for a new generation of geothermal power stations, which exploit magma's extreme temperature.

"We set high standards, it can be a pathfinder, it can be a test-bed that we do together before it is expanded to the broader region," he said.

He is the head of technical consulting at the Smart Mobility Living Lab, which was set up with the help of government funding to create a test-bed for connected and self-driving technology in London.

This aircraft will be a test-bed for a host of different digital capabilities - among 60 different demonstration projects, some of which will be entirely software-based.

“Using London as a test-bed for innovation, the retailer will trial and develop new formats and initiatives,” it said in a statement.
