| Idea of cooperation project: | 1. ENERGY.2007.2.1.2: Dye-sentitised PV solar cells - The proposal is focused on studying the architecture and the physical phenomena occurring in the operation of three types of nano-structured photovoltaic cells – plastic, dye-sensitised and quantum-well/dots – aiming to identify the technical possibilities of increasing their efficiency. The main way of investigation is computer simulation. The proposal is structured on two logical levels: obtaining the means of research (analysis of the physical processes in nano-structured photovoltaic devices, development of continuous and discrete mathematical models, implementation of the models in software, all in parallel to the development of the informational infrastructure) and the utilization of the software application to simulate the operation of nano-structured photovoltaic cells.
2. ENERGY.2007.2.1.9: Innovative / improved PV manufacturing processes The proposal aims: the production of efficient equipments and ecological technologies which could ensure the optimum full scale usage of renewable energy sources (PV -efficient module)in new EU countries for the purpose of providing energy to households, farms, small enterprises, etc. The partners of the consortium will elaborate the technical documents for the execution of the performing experimental models for renewable energy production. Monitoring systems for renewable installations will be produced (for meteorological and energy parameters); based on these measured and/or calculated parameters the performances of the system will be evaluated in time, in correlation to the dimensional data taken into account. This proposal will make an offer of technological transfer, through the cooperation of various EU firms with foreign ones, which already have a vast experience in this area. |
