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 project deals with a new idea where water from a nearby reservoir - sea, river or lake - via a pump/motor pressurizes a closed underground membrane, meaning that excessive electrical energy is
Research and demonstration of a new pretreatment method - wet explosion - for increasing the biogas yield of manure fibers. The produced biogas will be used in a combined heat and power plant. The wet
The project studies the possibilities of introducing flexible electricity consumption and regulating power among Danish industrial customers though price and control signals from the electricity
The overall purpose of the consortium is to gather research institutions and major industry enterprises which together can cover all stages from research through concept and technology development to
In this project the potential for SNG based on biomass gasification has been sought elucidated. As part of the project a model for simulation of biomass in Denmark has been developed. The conclusion
The purpose of this project is to design a demonstration plant based on the Low Temperature Circulating Fluidised Bed (LT-CFB) gasification technology. The demonstration plant is based on 2 test
The HotMEA consortium focuses on HT-PEM fuel cells. Denmark enjoys a position of strength in terms of HT-PEM and may become a leader in the field. The work comprises a broad spectrum from development
The aim of this project is to find a suitable titration method for measuring volatile fatty acids (VFA) to use for process monitoring of the Danish biogas plants. In the study, several titration
Given the goals of 50% of electricity production being generated as wind energy and typically from large offshore wind farms in 2025, Denmark needs more exact forecasts - especially forecasts looking
The contents of biogenic (biomass) and fossil carbon in fuels affect the sustainability of the energy production based on these fuels. Today, municipal solid waste contributes with a significant share
Biogas has been pointed out as one of the most profitable renewable technology based on socioeconomic analysis. Expansion of the biogas applications demands however, further optimization and
The project explores the possibilities for a combination of wind power and a large heat pump for heat production in the district heating system of Århus. The environmental and economic impact – for
Incineration plants may optimize their participation in the electricity spot market and balancing markets by actively and fast bypassing the steam from the steam turbine. The possibility of this is
