Optimization of superconducting cavities for CW applications (CW_SRF)

Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2018,

"Continuous wave (CW) operation of superconducting cavities for particle acceleration is the enabling technology for several projects in research and industry.Minimizing the losses of superconducting cavities is essential for their realization and can yield huge cost savings. The initial investment cost is reduced by the need for a smaller cryogenic infrastructure and the operation costs are lower ...

Cost-reduction through material optimisation and Higher EnErgy outpuT of solAr pHotovoltaic modules - joining Europe’s Research and Development efforts in support of its PV industry (CHEETAH)

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

Europe has invoked the SET-Plan to design and implement an energy technology policy for Europe to accelerate the development and deployment of cost-effective renewable energy systems, including photovoltaics. With lower cost of solar electricity, PV could significantly contribute to the achievements of the 20-20-20 objectives.The Joint Program on PV of the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA-P ...

Photoelectrochemical Demonstrator Device for Solar Hydrogen Generation (PECDEMO)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

To address the challenges of solar energy capture and storage in the form of a chemical fuel, we will develop a hybrid photoelectrochemical-photovoltaic (PEC-PV) tandem device for light-driven water splitting. This concept is based on a visible light-absorbing metal oxide photoelectrode, which is immersed in water and placed in front of a smaller-bandgap thin film PV cell. This tandem approach ens ...

HIGH EFFICIENCY REAR CONTACT SOLAR CELLS AND ULTRA POWERFUL MODULES (HERCULES)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

"The European photovoltaics PV market still represents the predominant share of worldwide installations and electricity generated from PV is becoming increasingly competitive, with an average levelized cost of energy (LCOE) estimated to be between 0.10–0.16 €/kWh in 2011 . This constant reduction of LCOE means that the European industry can only regain its competitiveness with (i) a concomitant re ...

STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF PORPHYRIN-BASED MATERIALS IN SOLUTION vs. INTERFACES (PORPHDYN)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

"The goal of the proposed project is to perform a systematic study of the electronic structure and the dynamic behaviour of specifically selected metalloporphyrin materials in solution, and at liquid-solid interfaces, with a time resolution covering the range from sub-femtosecond up to picoseconds which is fundamental for their biochemical properties. Metalloporphyrins play a key role in a wide ra ...

The advanced instrumentation on the basis of 3D RZP for modern UV and X-ray sources (3D RZP)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

The most important, in terms of understanding the nature of physical phenomena, experiments require time resolution on the scale of femto- (10-15) and atto (10-18)-seconds. Class of physical phenomena under investigation with pulsed radiation is very wide: understanding chemical dynamics when the timescales of nuclear and electronic motion can coincide, femtosecond movies of a chemical reaction, u ...

Multiscale Modelling of Femtosecond Spin Dynamics (FEMTOSPIN)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2015,

"Information storage technology is essentially based on nanostructured magnetic materials. Considerable research effort is aimed at increasing the density of stored information and this generally requires increasingly sophisticated media design to engineer the desired combination of low write field and thermal stability of recording information. An alternative approach is Heat Assisted Magnetic Re ...

PhotoVoltaic European Research Infrastructure (SOPHIA)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2015,

The objective of the SOPHIA project is to strenghten and optimise research capabilities, mainly by coordinating efforts on important but precompetitive issues. Large research infrastructures working together will avoid the useless replication of a large number of small efforts. The SOPHIA project aims at pulling together the main European photovoltaic research infrastructures in order to provide t ...
