WG3, Brussels, 30 Nov. 2010 Interactions with other technology sectors

1. WG3, Brussels, 30 Nov. 2010 Interactions with othertechnology sectors

2. Why interaction? • PV is directly linked to other technology sectors • E.g. building sector, electricity grid, energy storage devices, manufacturing ... • R&D in other areas can contribute to enhance efficiency, productivity and sustainability of PV systems • E.g. new materials, methods to enhance efficiency, new production methods... WG3, Brussels 30 November 2010

3. Which Sectors?Possible Interactions? • Examples in Implementation Plan,Chapter 7 and 9.2 (Annex B) WG3, Brussels 30 November 2010

4. Role of PVTP / WG3 • SRA - IP - next step: implement the IP • Reach the targets of SRA and SEII to make PV a mainstream energy source • Increase system efficiency • Achieve better production yield • WG3: Group of technology experts that cover the whole PV value chain • PVTP can act as a coordinator between PV and other technology sectors that can contribute to reach the SEII targets WG3, Brussels 30 November 2010

5. Possible Way of Interaction I Table from WG3 meeting of 11 Feb. 2010 WG3, Brussels 30 November 2010

6. Possible Way of Interaction II • Identification of suitable technology sectors(„What is there around us?“) • E.g. Smart Grids, SusChem, EuMat, Eurobat, ... • Define internal structures (sub-groups, work packages, ..) • Why and how do we want to interact with a sector? • Structure the topics • E.g. sort the sectors / possible partners along the PV value chain (materials, devices, produciton, application...) • What are the specific points of interaction? • Is it useful to group external partners? WG3, Brussels 30 November 2010

7. Possible Way of Interaction III • Define targets, work packages and a time schedule for each sector we want to approach • What do we want to achieve for each sector? • How do we want to approach? • Establish cooperation structures • Approach external partners (contacts, visits of sector related conferences, meetings, invite key-speakers etc...) • Find out, what PV means for the external partners • Define common points of interest and (common?) work packages WG3, Brussels 30 November 2010

8. Possible Way of Interaction IV • Work out the packages • Internally and in exchange with external partners • How much time and effort can we contribute? • Delivery of results • Whom do we want to approach? • How do we want to present the results? • What is it all about? WG3, Brussels 30 November 2010

9. What did we find out so far? I • Smart Grids (Greg - 2/2010?) • SusChem (7/2009) • PV is in SusChem‘s IP, Interaction with other ETPs of interest • „Smart Energy House“ • Alexis Bazzanella (Dechema, Frankfurt) responsible for PV • ECTP (Construction Technology) (7/2009) • Enery Efficient Buildings (E2B) PPP established for all energy relevant topics; PV is an important topic; Roadmap 10/2009 • EPIA is member of E2B ? • Luc Bourdeau is contact WG3, Brussels 30 November 2010

10. What did we find out so far? II • Manufuture / Factories of the Future (FoF) (7/2009) • Frank Knecht is the representative of VDMA in Brussels and head of EFFRA (legal part of the industry in the PPP FoF) • Renewable Energy is a very interesting topic • We were invited to take part on a High Level Group Meeting WG3, Brussels 30 November 2010

11. Discussion • What do we want to achieve? • Which sectors do we want to approach? • How do we want to interact? • How to proceed? • Collection of ideas (all) • Who will contribute (subgroup, PVTP outside WG3?) • Action steps WG3, Brussels 30 November 2010
