Consortium

Roles in the project

MG will focus on the project management and the dissemination and communication of PVT4EU. MG will also support several tasks including the electrical and control strategies and establishing synergy between the electrical and thermal management of the hybrid collectors.

  • Development of electric and control strategies tailored for PVT4EU Technologies.
  • Evaluation of thermal management strategies and alignment of thermal and electrical components
  • Defining protocols and key performance indicators for experimental testing of collectors.
  • Setting up necessary facilities for testing endeavors with the help of HiG.

Solarus aims to create and manufacture a concentrating PVT collector for use in industrial heating and cooling systems. Within this project, Solarus will prioritize developing business models and conducting impact assessments to facilitate the effective deployment and utilization of the PVT4EU technologies.

LNEG will focus on evaluating improved optics for concentrating technologies and the selection of nanofluids. Additionally, they will conduct simulation studies on the integration of PVT systems into heating and cooling setups. Moreover, LNEG will perform electrical and thermal performance testing on prototypes of PVT4EU technologies.

DTU will take the helm in orchestrating the synergistic thermal and electrical design aspects of PVT4EU technologies. This involves aligning the thermal and electrical components to work seamlessly together for optimal performance. Moreover, DTU will spearhead the integration of PVT4EU systems with other technologies such as heat pumps and absorption chillers. This responsibility entails ensuring that these different systems effectively complement each other to maximize energy efficiency and overall effectiveness.

The company's primary focus will be on initiating the preliminary design and fabrication of non-concentrating prototypes, designated as PVT-SP, for subsequent performance evaluation. Additionally, SP will take charge of devising thermal management strategies tailored to the specific needs of the PVT4EU technologies, ensuring optimal heat regulation and system performance.
