The scope of the project is to develop solar energy systems repair and maintenance curriculum for the electrical and electronics and energy systems departments of vocational and technical education schools, to predict and prevent solar energy systems (SES) failures with artificial intelligence methods.

SWS-HEATING is developing an innovative seasonal thermal energy storage (STES) unit with a novel storage material and creative configuration based on a sorbent material embedded in a compact multi-modular sorption STES unit. This will allow to store and shift the harvested solar energy available abundantly during the summer to less sunny and colder winter periods, thus covering a large part of domestic heating and hot water demand all year round.

The main objective of BIOCON-CO₂ is to develop and validate in industrially relevant environment a flexible platform to biologically transform CO₂ into added-value chemicals and plastics. The versatility and flexibility of the platform, based on 3 main stages (CO₂ solubilization, bioprocess and downstream) will be proved by developing several technologies and strategies for each stage that will be combined as puzzle pieces.

The overall objective of the HYBUILD project is the development of two innovative compact hybrid electrical/thermal storage systems for stand-alone and district connected buildings. The two concepts will be developed for ensuring comfort condition in residential buildings located in two different climates: one for Mediterranean climate, where cooling season operation is particularly critical, and another one for Continental climate, where criticalities mainly concern the heating season operation.

Research suggests that the industrial and service sectors, which account for 40% of final energy consumption in the EU, offer substantial potential for cost-effective energy savings. However, an under-investment in energy-efficiency is observed in all countries due to the persistent existence of barriers. One key barrier is that companies do not consider energy use as a contributor to their competitive advantage.

The overall objective of this project was to develop a new advanced solar cooling and heating product, using advanced heat exchanger technology and integrating a heat pump for covering peak demand.

Medium- to large-scale bioenergy utilisation for electricity and combined industrial or district heating is predicted to increase by 160% in 2020 compared to 2010, while carbon emission quotas are becoming stricter. Finding new ways to efficiently utilise cheap and currently unused feedstocks are necessary in order to meet these challenges.

Ανάπτυξη συστήματος μικρής κλίμακας το οποίο βασίζεται σε ένα λέβητα βιομάζας δυναμικότητας 40 kWth. Ο λέβητας αυτός παράγει την απαραίτητη θερμότητα χαμηλής θερμοκρασίας (80-120 ^οC, αποτελεί παράμετρο βελτιστοποίησης) και τροφοδοτεί έναν υπερκρίσιμο οργανικό κύκλο Rankine για την παραγωγή ψυκτικής ισχύος, θερμότητας και μηχανικής ισχύος (τριπαραγωγή).
