PROMOTioN - Progress on Meshed HVDC Offshore Transmission Networks (PROMOTION)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

In order to unlock the full potential of Europe’s offshore resources, network infrastructure is urgently required, linking off-shore wind parks and on-shore grids in different countries. HVDC technology is envisaged but the deployment of meshed HVDC offshore grids is currently hindered by the high cost of converter technology, lack of experience with protection systems and fault clearance componen ...

WETMATE – a 33kV Subsea Wet-Mateable Connector for Offshore Renewable Energy (WETMATE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Most European offshore wind farms are currently installed within 20 km of the coast in shallow water depths up to 20m. The next generation will be developed at distances of 40 km in sea depths up to 80m. These new locations present technical challenges for engineering and the possibility of new synergies between all marine renewable energy resources including wave, tide and wind. Inspection and ma ...

Sustainable Integrated Management of International River Corridors in SEE Countries  (SEE RIVER)

Start date: Sep 30, 2012, End date: Sep 29, 2014,

Rivers in SEE region are often threatened by unsustainable use, increasing human pressure, and problems of increased floods and droughts driven by climate change. Inhabitation of floodplain areas, hydropower utilization, navigation, gravel and sand extraction, unsustainable tourism etc. lead to changes in morphology, increased pollution, degradation of aquatic habitats, as well as land use conflic ...

SEE HYDROPOWER, targeted to improve water resource management for a growing renewable energy production (SEE HYDROPOWER)

Start date: May 31, 2009, End date: May 29, 2012,

SEE HYDROPOWER is based on the European Directive on the promotion of Electricity from Renewable Energy Sources (RES-e) respect to the Kyoto protocol targets, that aims to establish an overall binding target of 20% share of renewable energy sources in energy consumption and a 10% binding minimum target for biofuels in transport to be achieved by each Member State, as well as binding national targe ...

Capacity Building in Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control in Bosnia and Herzegovina (IPPC-BIH)

Start date: Mar 1, 2006, End date: Aug 31, 2008,

Background Before the war in the Balkans, Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) was an industrialised country with a high rate of environmental pollution; now industrial pollution has still a heavy negative impact on the environment. Implementing a new Law on Environmental Protection (LEP) will minimise adverse industrial impacts on human health and the environment. ...

Remotely Accessed Decision Support System for Transnational Environmental Risk Management (STRiM)

Start date: Dec 31, 2005, End date: Jun 29, 2008,

Risk management at transnational level is an important tool for setting up alternative risk scenarios within the Strategic Environmental Assessment framework (SEA). This is one result that was realised when implementing the CADSES project "ISOTEIA" which deals with an integrated system to assess Territorial and Environmental Impacts (TEIA) regarding resource management and regional planning. Moreo ...

Integrated System for the promotion of Territorial / Environmental Impact Assessment in the framework of spatial planning (ISOTEIA)

Start date: Dec 31, 2003, End date: Dec 30, 2006,

The aim of the project is environmental protection through the establishment of an Integrated System designed to promote the best means to assessing Territorial and Environmental Impacts (TEIA) within the framework of resource management and regional planning in the CADSES region. During the project running time 8 TEIA case-studies are planned, which are based on alternative scenarios generated by ...

Establishment and Institutional Strenghtening of Bosnia and Herzegovina Water Works Association (BHWWA) (BHWWA)

Start date: Nov 1, 2002, End date: Oct 31, 2004,

Background Figures for Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) indicate that on average about 500 litres per capita per day (l/c/d) of water are used. This figure is extremely high and above the EU average. Much of the 500 litres, however, is actually lost since actual water consumption is estimated at 150-200l/c/d. These figures suggest that the use of water is ver ...

Strengthening of Diffuse Source Pollution Control in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Start date: Dec 3, 2001, End date: Aug 3, 2004,

Background Before its independence in 1992, management of the water sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) was characterised by an unsustainable use of natural resources, a lack of clear responsibilities in the water administration, a centralised water sector financing system, and obsolete technologies. Diffusion source pollution was not monitored on a r ...
