Demonstration of high EFFiciency Stirling HEAT pump (EFFIHEAT-DEMO)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

The need of innovative solutions for buildings heating and air-conditioning systems is driven by economical and environmental concerns, which are strongly supported by EU Directives. Buildings account for 40% of total energy consumption in the European Union . The sector is expanding, which is bound to increase its energy consumption. Therefore, reduction of energy consumption and the use of energ ...

Competitive stationary low concentrating solar module of novel design (SOLGAIN)

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

The achievement of the goals of the European energy and climate change policy necessitates the development and deployment of a diverse portfolio of low carbon energy technologies. In 2010, photovoltaic (PV) technology was the leading renewable energy technology in terms of capacity growth in Europe. But for reaching the main sectorial target: “up to 15% of the EU electricity will be generated by s ...

Development of high EFFiciency Stirling HEAT pump (EFFiHEAT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

Buildings account for 40% of total energy consumption in the European Union and the sector is expanding. Therefore, reduction of its energy consumption (by 20% by 2020) and the use of energy from renewable sources constitute important measures needed to reduce EU energy dependency and greenhouse gas emissions. A significant number of buildings must become energy positive integrating renewable ener ...

Ultra - thin conductive ceramic mesh to monitor stress and wear on a steel surface (MesMesh)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

The aim of the project is the development of a pre-commercial prototype mould with built in continuous structural health monitoring. This will be achieved by carrying out research work appropriate for developing femtosecond laser metal processing techniques to produce smooth walled and depth-controlled grooves on metal parts. In these groves a TiN/Al2O3 composite will be sintered in a few micron t ...

Optimization of Si solar cells, plastic materials and technologies for the development of more efficient concentRatION photovoltaic systems (ORION)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

The development of renewable energy is a central aim of the EU Commission's energy policy. Concentration PhotoVoltaics (CPV) has been demonstrated to be a good solution in PV industry and in the last years has become more attractive and several companies have been founded with the main goal of decreasing the cost of PV-generated electricity. The main objective of this project is the optimization o ...
