A systematic approach for discrepancies identification: Building performance simulation versus reality

The main objective of this research proposal is to develop a systematic approach and analysing the performance gap and its causal factors during the whole building life. Unlike traditional cabration approaches, the discrepancies identification approach will be designed to guarantee realistic building energy models to be used, e.g. for highlighting poor-performing buildings' elements/systems, and priorizing areas where  retrofitting/modernisation actions is required.

Subsea Interface for Offshore Wind (SIFOW)

Details of the invention is to be patented and hence it is still confidential. In general, it is about a new and innovative technology/process for offshore wind foundation and turbine installation and it is assumed that this new way of installing the structures can reduce installation time and cost by 50%. The installation cost of a large offshore wind farm can be up to 25% of the total investment and therefore it has been a priority for the industry to find better and more robust solutions that can handle rough weather conditions. The new technology is based on a feature integrated in the foundations that makes it possible to install complete turbines from floating vessels and in less time than today. The R&D project is primarily related to technology development and qualification. A Norwegian based technology company is to be in charge of the project and the time needed to have a qualified and tested technology is estimated to 2-3 years. Funding for that period including prototype and demonstration must be established. The funding will probably have to be based on success criteria during the course of the project. In parallel to this a generic design of a modified or new large crane vessel is to be made. The more detailed work of crane and vessel design can be performed by others as the main activity for technology company is to develop the foundation structure only. However, in early phase of the conceptual development; lifting equipment designers, vessel designers and vessel operators should be a part of the project to assure that all marine operation requirements are taken care of. If the technology is successfully demonstrated, the shipping companies will see the opportunity to take the generic design forward and provide the wind farm developers with the necessary installation fleet.

Smart Management and Renewable Technology with Innovative Efficient Storage (Smarties)

HORIZON2020 - LCE-04-2017

Energy security and the decarbonisation of heat is a strategic goal for the EU in order to meet the climate commitments and goals (such as COP21) legislated across member states. Europe is facing key challenges such as existing antiquated energy networks, which will require new approaches towards the production, handling and delivery of intermittent renewable energy sources.

The shift away from fossil fuels to renewable energy presents an increased risk of security and availability to generators and consumers at peak demand times which invariably differ to peak renewable energy generation periods.

Smarties is designed to assist regional and city partners to demonstrate innovative approaches combining large scale storage, renewables and demand side management technologies with interconnectivity and transmission network management. By developing a robust evidence base and demonstrating innovative processes that harness multiple renewable energy generation, storage and management, Smarties will provide viable, scalable and replicable energy management for renewables whilst reducing the reliance on expensive fossil fuel contingencies across member states.This will support the EU’s energy policies such as Climate-Energy and Energy Union and contribute towards member state energy self-consumption.

CADBACK2MARKET

The current project focuses on the optimization and take‐up measures to bring forward CdTe solar technology established at Calyxo (Cx). The optimization includes the introduction of new back contact layer system into the current cell structure, a demonstrator at TRL6, and a subsequent testing of the module in the real environment. The development will be supported by a team out of experienced researchers, FEP and University of Verona (UoV), and industrial players, Solayer GmbH and ML System SA, in the area of CdTe technology. The project pursues the development of a new machine design for the production of new back contact layer system as a vacuum process by Solayer and its adjustment to the cost‐efficient atmospheric deposition process established at Cx. The aim is to offer customers solar modules 20% cheaper than silicon wafer technology with 10% higher payback and thereby to increase the market share of all participating industrial parties that will result in strengthening the role of the European solar industry in the global context. The successful market launch will be ensured through the established sales and marketing infrastructure of the consortium.

CSP STREAM

LCE-21-2017: Market uptake of renewable technologies

In order to ensure that the EU meets the 2020 RES targets (20% of EU energy from renewables) and following the importance given to CSP in the Directive 2009/28 (promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources), a stronger boost should be given to the effective implementation of big-scale CSP supply . For that, the mentioned directive also points out at the fact that MS should be ready to cooperate in a larger scale. The directive introduces optional cooperation mechanisms between Member States which allow them to agree on the extent to which one Member State supports the energy production in another and on the extent to which the energy production from renewable sources should count towards the national overall target of one or the other. These mechanisms have to involve as well local and regional bodies and should link CSP-producing areas to areas where CSP production is not economically feasible. 6 EU countries include CSP technology as target in National Renewable Energy Action Plans to 2020, Spain, Cyprus, Italy, Greece, Portugal and France. Spain is currently leading country in CSP installed power, and Extremadura Region has more than 35% of the total national power. The international market is moving, and in 2012 the European Investment Bank funded 3 new CSP plants in Cyprus, Greece and Italy (Ner300 program) which Italy and Greece started in 2014. However, in spite of the above- mentioned developments, in the case of this reinforced cross-border cooperation, which should ensure the market uptake of CSP; major advances in this area are still far from sight.

This project wants to ensure that CSP production and supply is boosted by means of effectively connecting the producing areas in southern Europe to Central and Northern European countries. A major issue is here addressed: Identify all barriers to this enhanced cooperation and providing options for addressing them in the context of future projects and policy initiatives.

This project wants to build upon the already existing partnership created in the Solar-CV, mostly from southern Europe and with relevant expertise in CSP. In order to allow for a strong proposal, partnership should be reinforced with north and central European partners, especially those with experience in market uptake projects.

RenMet – Renewable Methanol

HORIZON2020 - LCE-04-2017

RenMet is seeking to develop a closed loop pilot demonstration project for renewable methanol production for use in subsequent power generation and/or as a transport fuel.

This project will demonstrate the feasibility and economic viability of producing renewable methanol from renewable energy sources resulting in high energy saving potential, reduced CHG emissions and the identification/commercial potential of methanol as a fuel cell technology and as an economically viable alternative to petroleum.

Through the RenMet cluster proposal we intend to research, investigate and develop an alternative proposition for the use of;

1. electricity generated remotely which would preclude the need for grid connection completely

2. renewable generation supplies that will be curtailed post 2015
