Logistics for Energy Crops' Biomass (LOGISTEC)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,
Cost-efficient, environmental-friendly and socially sustainable biomass supply chains are urgently needed to achieve the 2020 targets of the Strategic Energy Technologies-Plan of the European Union, which are likely to be impeded by the potential scarcity of lignocellulosic biomass from agriculture. Innovative techniques for crop management, biomass harvesting and pre-treatment, storage and transp ...

Resource- and Cost-effective integration of renewables in existing high-rise buildings (Cost-Effective)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
The use of renewable energy in the building sector is today dominated by the application of solar domestic hot water and PV systems in single-family houses. In order to significantly increase the use of renewable energy in the building sector, concepts have to be developed for large buildings. In these buildings high fractions of the energy demand can only be met with renewable energy sources, whe ...

Development and Demonstration of a Novel Integrated Condition Monitoring System for Wind Turbines (NIMO)
Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
Wind energy is the most developed of a number of renewable energy technologies, with several thousands of wind turbines already operating or being planned for construction across Europe. Wind turbines can be deployed individually to power a single site or installation, but are most commonly grouped together as wind farms to provide power to the electricity grid. The energy output from wind turbine ...
