Unlocking European grid local flexibility trough augmented energy conversion capabilities at district-level (PENTAGON)

Start date: Dec 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2019,

Pentagon is a 3-years research and innovation project that will investigate the potential of wider deployment of energy conversion technologies and strategies at district-level, with the aim to foster flexibility in the low-voltage and medium-voltage grid. The rationale that underlies Pentagon approach is that multi-vector smart districts can be the key enablers of future smart grids, provided the ...

Solar Heat Integration Network (SHINE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Large solar heating systems are decisive to cover a major part of European low temperature heat demand by solar energy and therewith to meet European policy aims. However, today only a negligible share of solar heating systems installed in Europe are large units due to manifold technical and socio-economic obstacles. The challenge of solar thermal technology and the overall objective of the propos ...

Reengineering and Enabling Performance And poweR of Applications (REPARA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

In recent years, traditional processors have not been able to translate the advances of silicon fabrication technology into corresponding performance gains. This has been due to weaknesses inherent in the current sequential programming model, which has not changed significantly since the late 1940's, as well as due to physical constraints, such as practical limits on the energy consumption and the ...
