Sustainable Technologies for Calcined Industrial Minerals in Europe (STOICISM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Europe is a major global producer of industrial minerals. Around 180 million tonnes per year of products are extracted in the EU, with an estimated contribution of €10 billion to European GDP and offering direct employment to some 42,500 people. A secure supply of sustainable mineral products is essential to maintaining the European mining, mineral and manufacturing industries.The main objective ...

REconfiguration of CONtrol in Flight for Integral Global Upset REcovery (RECONFIGURE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

Commercial aircraft fault tolerant control (FTC) strategies in the flight control system (FCS) are based on fail-safe approaches whereby a nominal control law is switched first to a robust solution and then if necessary to a direct law controlling the actuators surfaces. Each component of the control law set is designed off-line and has a different level of robustness and performance. The reasons ...

Thin Si film based hybrid solar cells on low-cost substrates (ThinSi)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

The ThinSi project will develop a solar cell processing chain for high throughput, cost-effective manufacturing of thin film silicon based solar cells on low-cost silicon substrates. The substrates will be made on the basis of an innovative powder-to-substrate concept. In line with the Workprogramme topic addressed, it will reduce the cost of solar cell modules compared to those made by the conven ...
