Zero Emission bUs Systems (ZEEUS)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2017,

Electrification of the public transport is a raising trend in Europe, and electric buses are soon expected to enter markets as one of the most interesting options for matching urban environmental targets. Electrification is driven by both economics and politics. However, although technology is not yet fully matured and ready for wide commercialisation, a large demonstration project will facilitat ...

Distributed Intelligence for Cost-Effective and Reliable Distribution Network Operation (DISCERN)

Date du début: 1 févr. 2013, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2016,

As the patterns of power generation and distribution are rapidly changing in Europe towards a highly dispersed and volatile system, Distribution System Operators need to completely change traditional ways of grid operations. Currently developed solutions to increase the intelligence of medium and low voltage grids to cope with this task are often highly specialized, non-replicable and therefore no ...

Production of Solid Sustainable Energy Carriers from Biomass by Means of Torrefaction (SECTOR)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 30 juin 2015,

Torrefaction is considered worldwide as a promising key technology for boosting large-scale implementation of bioenergy. It involves heating biomass in the absence of oxygen to a temperature of 200 to 320 °C. As a result, the biomass looses all its moisture and becomes easy to grind and water resistant, which reduces the risk of spontaneous ignition and biological degradation and permits outdoor s ...

Innovative CO2 capture (iCap)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,

In post-combustion CO2 capture, a main bottleneck causing significant reduction in power plant efficiency and preventing cost effectiveness is the low flue gas CO2 partial pressure, limiting membrane flux, solvent selection and capacity. In pre-combustion CO2 capture, key bottlenecks are number of processing steps, possible low hydrogen pressure, and high hydrogen fraction in the fuel Global deplo ...

Development and field test of an efficient YBCO Coated Conductor based Fault Current Limiter for Operation in Electricity Networks (ECCOFLOW)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,

"The project aims at developing a unique device for electricity networks: A superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) based on coated conductor YBCO tape (cc-tape) or 2nd Generation HTS tape. The general trend in Europe to a higher meshing of distribution networks and the rapid growing integration of renewable energy sources leads to an increase of the fault current level by every new installat ...

Research into Impacts and Safety in CO2 Storage (RISCS) (RISCS)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,

"Although significant leakage from CO2 storage sites is not expected, if it did occur there could be adverse environmental consequences, which are not well constrained. The objective of RISCS is to provide fundamental research on environmental impacts, necessary to underpin frameworks for the safe management of CO2 storage sites. To achieve this, RISCS will quantitatively assess environmental impa ...

Boosting Energy Awareness With Adaptive Real-time Environments (Be Aware)

Date du début: 1 mai 2008, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2011,

Reduction of energy consumption is a societal challenge that requires combination of technical, economical, and social means. So far, energy conservation has focused on new technologies and automation, treating users as passive consumers. However, strong evidence suggests that users can adapt actively their behaviour to energy saving with suitable feedback, support, and incentives, reducing signif ...
