MWT modules combine high-speed manufacturability with 4-5% higher output power when compared with state-of-the-art. By using this technology, ECN was the first to reach 17.0% module efficiency using multi-crystalline silicon solar cells in December 2009. The IEC 61215 certificate shows that the MWT technology is designed for reliable energy generation over a period exceeding 25 years.

Keywords from the call- To transform existing and occupied buildings (commercial and residential) into energy-efficient buildings- The research shall focus on development of new materials, products, components, systems or coherent sets of solutions for the whole, or any part, of the building envelope.- Jointly reduce energy consumption and increase indoor comfort (noise, glare, moisture, etc.)- Easy installation in a minimally intrusive way - To reach at least the energy efficiency of new buildings according to current national regulations- The return on investment should be kept below 7 years

VII FP Call: EeB.NMP.2011-3 “Energy saving technologies for buildings envelope retrofitting”


Parma 14-15 Dicembre 2010 Project Proposal ECOSOLARE

• This proposal has been conceived and structured to provide a specific solution to the problem of reducing energy consumption AND improving comfort in an existing building, based on the intelligent and cost-effective use of solar energy, both direct and diffuse.

• The consortium is a balanced combination of experts in systems approach for the built environment and technology innovators who have pioneered the development of new comfort-providing products which can be easily incorporated in a building envelope as part of ordinary renovation.

• Window or door frames are usually the most obvious target of any building renovation aiming to improve thermal insulation with a limited budget or without rebuilding the whole external envelope.

• For this reason, the main focus of this project is to provide energy-efficient solutions for ventilation (mandatory after the sealing of windows and doors is improved), air conditioning and glare-free natural illumination based on products which can be incorporated seamlessly in or next to door or window frames.

• These products make direct use of solar energy (smart venetian blinds, adsorption coolers, smart windows) and/or are best used in direct combination with DC power sources like photovoltaic (PV) modules (ventilation and humidity control appliances, thermoelectric heat pumps).

• With the cost of PV modules set to fall below grid parity in several European countries within the next 5 years a significant effort is put in this project to develop innovative PV products with a high degree of architectural integration to be used as embedded DC power supply accessories.

• Highly innovative and potentially very efficient new technologies like magnetic cooling and solar CHP (PV plus adsorption heat pumps) will also be explored.

• Most of the project partners are SMEs whose full engagement is guaranteed by a clear and well supported route for a rapid commercial exploitation of all the project outputs.

Objectives

1) Development of a low-scale (single room) Mechanically Controlled Ventilation (MCV) system, including heat recovery function (HR) and thermoelectric heat pump (TEC) for temperature and humidity regulation of inlet airflow, sized and designed to be suitable for integration within the window frame and to use locally produced photovoltaic power as its main power source:

2) Development of a low-scale (single room), compact humidity control system for both winter humidification and summer dehumidification, based on a direct current driven solid state thermoelectric heat pump, suitable to be installed in wall niche (low thickness, below 12cm), to be connected to hydraulic circuit of existing radiators and to be powered by locally produced photovoltaic power as its main power source:

3) Development of knowledge and technologies for the realization of air conditioning devices based on the Magneto-Caloric effect:

● Research and development of the technology based on the Magneto-Caloric Effect and realization of an air conditioning prototype based the Active Magnetic Regenerator (AMR) design.

● Research and development of new materials showing high magneto-caloric effects in magnetic fields generated by permanent magnet arrays to be employed as AMR units in innovative devices.The joint scientific and technological efforts aim at the realization of an air conditioning device able to provide 2 kW of cooling power delivered at T=15 °C while releasing heat to a sink at T=35 °C (temperature span of 20 ° C).

Note di presentazione

Aymeric created these images shows views out in a typical office environment created. Fundamentally solar blinds is a concentrating system using cheap materials to focus the suns energy onto high efficiency PV cells. This has created a step change in efficiency of building integrated photovoltaics. Instead of the typical 3 – 5% coverage this system will produce 60-80%.



Task 5.1 Performance simulations and payback time calculationPartners: CNR-IMEMThe energy output by the PV components developed in this workpackage and by the multifunctional appliances developed in workpackage 6 will be calculated and analysed for different configurations in order to estimate the payback time.

Task 5.2 High efficiency Photovoltaic flat modules for door/window framesPartners: XGroupBased on the electrical specifications from workpackage 7, the guidelines from workpackage 2 and the input from Task 5.1, XGroup will develop a range of bespoke PV modules based on wafer-based crystalline Silicon technology with the following characteristics:a) ease of installation within or near the window framesb) general aesthetics specifications in coordination with WP2c) compatibilty with well established production technologies used for Silicon flat panelsd) compatibilty with current safety regulationse) input specifications of the appliances to be directly powered

Task 5.4 Photovoltaic pipes for active venetian blindsPartners: CNR-IMEM, LAPS, XGroupPhotovoltaic collectors of cylindrical shape (~1m length and <1cm diameter) will be designed and developed to be incorporated as a component in the venetian blinds fabricated in WP V1.

Objectives

• The main aim of this WP, is the development of radically new adsorption technologies and components for solar-assisted air conditioning.

• An advanced solid adsorption chiller (2-5 kW cooling capacity) will be designed, realized and tested.

• The chiller will have the following innovative features:

• - The chiller will have 2-5kW cooling capacity. This is suitable for cooling of thermal efficient building and is not presented or available in the market today. The smallest machine today are 8kW with Silikagel or 9kW with zeolite. The typical COPs are in the range of 0,5 to 0,6 and the specific volumetric power is about 5-10kW/m³

• - The prototype will employ novel zeolite or silicagel/-based adsorbent materials with enhanced material properties and advanced heat exchanger concepts, so allowing superior performance with respect to the adsorption chillers currently available in the market (especially in terms of volumetric power).
