ExpectedOutcome:Projects are expected to develop further the harvesting of renewable energy in areas/conditions where other conversion systems are less efficient, less convenient or not possible.
The results are expected to contribute to at least three of the outcomes in A and B:
A. Increased potential for wider application of electricity and heat/cold static generators due to increased efficiency of energy conversion devices using physical effects such as:
Thermoelectric -> Thermoelectric Generators (TEG)Thermovoltaic -> Thermovoltaic Generators (TVG)Thermionic -> Thermionic Generators (TIG)Pyroelectric-> Pyroelectric Generator (PEG)Electrocaloric -> Electrocaloric Generator B. Optimised construction and application of the above-mentioned devices for:
heat recovery applications with electricity generation;heat/cold generation from electricity;applications in areas such as industrial, automotive, solar, geothermal, data centres, buildings applications, etc.
Scope:Projects are expected to implement both the activities in (1) and the validation/demonstration in (2) for the technologies liste...
