New technological advances for the third generation of Solar cells (GOTSolar)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

It is believed that solid-state perovskite solar cells (PSCs) will be the next generation of power source, contributing for fostering the use of photovoltaics in buildings’ roofs and facades. Actually, their transparency, various possibilities of colors and high kWh/nominal power ratio offer to PSCs an opportunity to conquer markets that are not attainable by traditional silicon solar cells. To tu ...

Balancing energy production and consumption in energy efficient smart neighbourhoods (e-balance)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2017,

Energy efficiency becomes crucial for rational consumption of the available resources and reduction of the CO2 production. But the reduction of energy consumption as the only remedy is only a partial solution. Similar, applying more environment-neutral or renewable energy sources without smart management systems may even cause failures in the energy grid or at least cause the energy to be wasted. ...

Trustworthy Clouds – Privacy and Resilience for Internet-scale Critical Infrastructure (TCLOUDS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

Protecting critical infrastructures providing communications, energy, or healthcare presents increasing ICT challenges as ICT itself has become vital to them. Internet-scale ICT infrastructures ("infrastructure clouds") promise scalable virtualised computing, network, and storage resources over the Internet. They provide scalability and cost-efficiency but pose significant new privacy and resilien ...
