A modular phase change material thermal store that enables optimal performance of renewable energy systems (PIPESTORE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

"Over the last decade rising energy prices, concerns about global warming and EU energy security have led to increasing interest in domestic scale Renewable Energy Systems (RES) such as solar thermal, heat pumps and biomass technologies. However despite these growth rates, the proportion of RES used for domestic heating and hot water is still under one percent. The main barrier is the high equipme ...

Micro Dynamic Demand and Storage (MiDDaS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2011,

Power outages can be caused by a defect in a power station; damage to a power line or other parts of the distribution system, a short circuit, or the overloading of electricity mains. Out of all the causes, most of them are minimised or preventable by better maintenance except the overloading of the electricity main (Power Grids), which can’t be completely predicted. Across Europe, overloading of ...

Innovative Design for Wind Energy Capture in Urban Environments (ROOF-CAPTURE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2011,

"We propose a new approach for urban wind power to help the EU to meet renewable energy targets and make micro–generation acceptable in environmentally sensitive areas. Typically, the wind around buildings is too turbulent and slow to be of much use. Normal turbines need to be placed high above them which is expensive and attracts planning objections. If buildings could be used to augment turb ...
