INitiative to bring the 2nd generation of ThermoElectric Generators into industrial ReALity (INTEGRAL)

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

Thermoelectric materials have been studied for several decades now. Improved TE materials are emerging with the so-called second-generation thermoelectric (GEN2 TE) materials: silicides and half-Heusler. These materials are low-cost, based on most earth-abundant elements and eco-friendly materials, and can impact positively European industry and society by converting wasted heat into electricity. ...

Enabling CLoud Orchestration, Performance and Cost Efficiency Tools for QoE Enhancement and Provider Ranking (CloudPerfect)

Start date: Dec 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2018,

Cloud environments are notorious for their lack of stability in performance characteristics, a feature that makes it extremely difficult for owners of time-critical applications to make the decisive step for migration and owners of SaaS to be unable to present performance vs cost tradeoffs to their customers when acting as IaaS customers. CLOUDPERFECT aims at delivering a set of tools and processe ...

Efficient Cooling Systems for QUieter Surface Transport (ECOQUEST)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2013,

"An important subsystem in surface transportation vehicles (rail bound, automotive and heavy duty) is the cooling unit. Present European standards for interoperability of rail bound traffic require low noise levels while manufactures need to meet the vehicle performance and energy efficiency requested by the operators. The stringent EU6 emission limits expected to come into effect will increase dr ...

Reduced Energy Consumption by Massive Thermoelectric Waste Heat Recovery in Light Duty Trucks (HeatReCar)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

The main objective of the project is to reduce the energy consumption and curb CO2 emissions of vehicles by massively harvesting electrical energy from the heat within the exhaust system and re-use this energy to supply electrical components within the vehicle or to feed the powertrain of hy-brid electrical vehicles (HEV). The recovery of the thermal energy will be performed by novel, labo-ratory- ...
