Embedded Multi-Core Systems for Mixed Criticality Applications in Dynamic and Changeable Real-Time Environments (EMC2)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

Embedded systems are the key innovation driver to improve almost all mechatronic products with cheaper and even new functionalities. Furthermore, they strongly support today's information society as inter-system communication enabler.Consequently boundaries of application domains are alleviated and ad-hoc connections and interoperability play an increasing role. At the same time, multi-core and ma ...

Energy recovery in new and retrofitted heat pumps using a dedicated expander concept (EXP-HEAT)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

In vapour-compression cycles (VCC) and more specifically in heat pumps, mechanical work is supplied to the compressor for increasing the pressure of the evaporated refrigerant. Heat is rejected in the condenser (effective heating at heating mode), for the condensation of the refrigerant, which is then expanded in a throttle valve (no power produced), in order to decrease its pressure, resulting to ...

Interdisciplinary Strategic Intelligence wareHouse and Think-tank for Energy (INSIGHT_E)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

As today’s energy policy decisions are not only very complex, but also fundamentally political decisions, the necessity to build them on sound, unbiased and up-to-date information/knowledge makes energy policy analysis and advice from a broad array of non-commercial actors key to effective policy formulation. Taking this into account, it is the aim of this project to establish a multidisciplinary ...

The European Research Infrastructure for Thermochemical Biomass Conversion (BRISK)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Enhancing biomass utilization without risking its sustainability is a European energy priority, and can be linked to targets for curbing greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2020 and 50% by 2050: enhanced energy security and integration with other industrial sectors, such as agriculture, also play a role. Improved use of biofuels and products in advanced biomass conversion units and biorefineries ar ...

Development of an environmentally friendly and cost-effective modular hydraulic rock-splitter system for efficiently breaking large rocks for an improved use in stone quarry extraction (HYDRASPLIT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

In 2007 EU countries represented about 40% of global natural stone production, bringing Europe as one of world’s largest produces and exporters of natural stone. European countries like Italy, Greece, Portugal, Sweden, and Spain, are important players while other European countries are in positively growing. The European sector consisted of 60,000 companies and employing a total of more than 500,0 ...
