SUPER PV

CoSt redUction and enhanced PERformance of PV systems Duration: 2018 - 2022 ● Programme: Horizon 2020 ●
www.superpv.eu SUPER PV is pursuing an ambitious bus realistic goal for innovative PV system cost reduction and consequently significant LCOE reduction (26%-37%) by adopting hybrid approach combining technological innovations and Data Management methods along the PV value chain. To achieve that, key actions are implemented at three main levels within the PV value chain: PV module innovation level, power electronics innovation level and system integration level. Prototype SUPER PV systems will be produced in industrial environments and tested in different (including harsh) climate conditions to evaluate cost efficiency and demonstrate competitiveness of the proposed solutions. On the basis of test results, business cases for technologies under consideration will be performed, plans for production and market replication will be prepared. Project activities will be complemented by wide training and [...]

BIOPLAT-EU

Promoting sustainable use of underutilized lands for bioenergy production through a web-based Platform for Europe Duration: 2018 – 2021 ● Client: European Commission (H2020) ● WIP Expertise: Coordination, Stakeholder mobilisation and Involvement ●
https://bioplat.eu The overall objective of the project is to promote the market uptake of sustainable bioenergy in Europe using marginal, underutilized, and contaminated lands for non-food biomass production through the provision of a web-based platform that serves as decision support tool. In order to achieve the overall goal, the work has been structured for achieving the following specific objectives: Creation of a database of maps on MUC lands in Europe generated based on high resolution data (Copernicus high resolution layers (HRLs), time series data from Sentinels and other satellites) and their attributes. All generated data will be included in GIS software with INSPIRE-compliant metadata files attached and transferred to a dedicated online [...]

BABET-REAL5

New Technology and Strategy for a Large and Sustainable Deployment of
Second Generation Biofuel in Rural Areas Duration: 2016 – 2020 ● Client: European Commission (H2020) ● WIP Expertise: Research and Innovation, Communication and Dissemination, Exploitation ●
www.babet-real5.eu The main aim of BABET-REAL5 is to develop an alternative solution for the production of second generation ethanol based on smaller industrial scale than the already realised plants of first generation ethanol. Such plants of small industrial scale shall be applicable to a large number of countries, rural areas and feedstock. The target is to reach technical, environmental and economical viabilities in production units processing at least 30 000 tons equivalent dry biomass per year. This approach will definitely enlarge the scope of biomass feedstock exploitable for the production of biofuel and create better conditions for the deployment of production sites, to the benefit of rural areas in Europe and worldwide.

BestRES

Best practices and implementation go innovative business models for renewable energy aggregators Duration: 2016 – 2019 ● Client: European Commission (H2020) ● WIP Expertise: Research and Innovation ● http://bestres.eu The European electricity market is in a process of reorganization, which is connected to major changes in the composition of the mix of generation and the electricity market design. In particular, the ever-growing share of electricity produced from renewable energy sources requires new considerations regarding the integration of green electricity in the existing structures and a new orientation of the current system as a whole. The research project "Best practices and implementation of innovative business models for Renewable Energies aggregators" (BestRES) investigated this in nine European states in particular so-called role. Energy aggregators who want to perpetuate by combining green electricity or the demand for green power new innovative business models. The Umwelt [...]

BioVill

Bioenergy Villages (BioVill) – Increasing the Market Uptake of Sustainable Bioenergy Duration: 2016 - 2019 ● Client: European Commission (H2020) ● WIP Expertise: Market uptake ● www.biovill.eu The objective of the BioVill project is to transfer and adapt experiences gained in countries where bioenergy villages already exists (Germany and Austira) to countries with less examples in this sector (Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia and Romania). The project fosters the development of the bioenergy sector in selected target countries by strengthening the role of locally produced biomass as a main contributor for energy supply on local level, considering opportunities of market uptake or expansion for local farmers, wood producers or SMEs. Core activitites of BioVill include the technological and econcomic assessment of the target villages, the involvement and active participation of stakeholders and citizens, the develpoment of local bioenergy value chains and technologies, as well as capacity [...]

PVSites

Building Integrated Photovoltaic Technologies and Systems for Large-Scale Market Deployment Duration: 2016 – 2019 ● Client: European Commission (H2020) ● WIP Expertise: Market uptake, Communication and Dissemination ● www.pvsites.eu Building-integrated Photovolatics (BIPV) is currently an expansive market, in which Europe has the leadership in terms of installations, followed by USA. One of the main drivers for BIPV market growth in the European Union is the increasingly demanding legislation related to buildings energy performance. However, a continuous growth of the market requires compliance with strict requirements in terms of design flexibility, aesthetics, durability, cost reduction, grid integration, compliance with standards and operation & maintenance. Under the H2020 of the EU Framework for Research and Innovation Programme, a collaborative BIPV project known as PVSITES “Building-integrated photovoltaic technologies and systems for large-scale market deployment” involving [...]
