Optimisation of primary energy consumption of solar (thermal) cooling plants by means of efficient technology and innovative control strategies
The R&D Project „Optimisation of primary energy consumption of solar (thermal) cooling plants by means of efficient technology and innovative control strategies“ (SolarCoolingOpt) aimed to find out the optimized configurations and control strategies for solar thermal cooling plants regarding primary energy balance.
Die optimierten Konzepte wurden an bestehenden Beispielanlagen umgesetzt und die Wirksamkeit der gesetzten Maßnahmen durch Monitoring verifiziert.
Für zwei der optimierten Konzepte wurden Lebenszyklusanalysen durchgeführt.
Ein Funktionsmuster für einen kostengünstigen offenen Nasskühlturm wurde entwickelt und getestet.
Combined Development of Compact Thermal Energy Storage Technologies
In this project, three different technologies for the compact seasonal storage of solar heat are being developed. Systems of these technologies are designed, built and tested in the laboratory or in the field.
RENEW SCHOOL
The RENEW SCHOOL project aims at transferring know-how and promoting prefabricated timber modules, ventilation, shading and renewable energy-systems to be logical solutions of school renovations. This will be done by networking, exchange and training activities between research, economy, school owners and financiers.
METHODIQA – Development of a quality assurance methodology for Renewable Heat Systems by means of intelligent operational monitoring
The focus of this project is on quality assurance for heat supply systems that combine renewable and non-renewable energy sources. Main objective is the elaboration of the scientific and technical basis for a diagnostics system that aims at cost-effective but high-quality, computer-aided surveillance of system operation of heat supply systems. METHODIQA combines two important renewable heat technologies (solar thermal and biomass); both renewable-only solutions as well as popular combinations of renewable and non-renewable technologies are investigated. Several stakeholders are showing interest in the current project: funding bodies, plant operators and property developers (involved by means of service contracts), and last but not least also the Austrian industry organizations of the two involved renewable heat technologies who agree to co-finance the project.
Ship Malaysia – Solar Heat and Energy Efficiency for Industrial Processes in Malaysia
The Global Environment Facility and the United Nations Industrial Development implements a project dealing with energy efficiency and solar process heat in Malaysia. There have been done several studies beforehand to investigate the technical potential, contact industries and organise trainings.
