The project will be realised by Beijing Solar Energy Research Institute Co. Ltd, China, and the Department of Civil Engineering, Technical University of Denmark. Focus will be on solar combi systems
The project is developing a nano-structured high efficiency solar cell. Unique production process ensures that costs will be competitive compared to cells with similar efficiency.
ELBA develops small energy harvesters that use ambient vibrations as power supply. A complete wireless system including energy harvesters, electronics and sensors, has been developed.
Novel electronic chips could be a cost-effective solution to the electronic bottleneck between data servers and computers. Advanced elec- tronics strengthen optical technologies to address the
Phase change materials (PCM) and surface struc- turing combined enable storing and release of heat in the concrete. This will remarkably reduce energy consumption in concrete buildings in the future.
Zn-air batteries in hearing aids to be replaced by methanol based micro fuel cells. The fuel cells will refill within 30 seconds and only need changing once a year.
In the lifespan of a wind turbine, the gearbox is replaced on average four times due to wear and tear. All together this is almost the cost of a new turbine.
In June 2011, a hitherto unparalleled demonstra- tion of wind lidar performance was obtained in the calibrated wind tunnel belonging to LM Wind Power, Kolding Denmark:
There is an increasing demand for insulation, in- cluding energy saving windows. The project aims to develop a new generation of high-insulating window frames from composite material.
The Megavind Partnership was founded in 2006 and the project 2008-2010 is a continuation of the earlier stages of the partnership. It has been the goal of the partnership to establish the foundation
This annex extends the cooperation between 5-7 IEA member countries on electric motor systems for use in industry, infrastructure and major constructions to promote efficiency enhancement by using
The project designs and erects a demonstration plant with an annual output capacity of 5 million litres of bioethanol that can be followed at www.biogasol.com. The plant must under semi-industrial
The RETROGAS project aims at demonstrating viable production of biogas solely based on animal manure and methods of achieving balance of plant nutrients from animal slurry and manure at farm level
The aim of the project is to demonstrate a full scale pit heat storage (60.000 m3 ) in combination with a large solar collector field (35.000 m2) and heat pumps (3 MW).
The purpose of the project was to demonstrate that by using new technologies, materials and operation parameters, the heat losses, the heat flow rate and the total costs of district heating can be
The main goal was to improve solar architecture as well as better qualified architects and better communication and interaction between architects, engineers, manufacturers and clients.
MicroShades are window glass panes with built-in shading based on geometric screening of solar rays, shading direct solar irradiation from the outside while having a clear outlook from the inside. The
Energy technology research development and demonstration of 2nd generation alkaline electrolysis by: Improved electrode efficiency. Higher operation temperature. Higher operation pressure. Improved
