Improve the Scientific and Technological Knowledge WIND Load reduction by active control of pitch blades and power electronics. Sensors. Forecast. New materials to reduce weight. New concepts for offshore wind turbines and substructures. Energy storage to increase the market penetration. Logistics for offshore operations and O&M. EEC, 2012-05-15 | A. Martínez
SOLAR PV New materials, abundant and cheap. Nanotechnologies Wafer manufacturability (processes, quality, test on line, cost) New encapsulation Efficiency increase. Building application (Big Market!) Improve the Scientific and Technological Knowledge EEC, 2012-05-15 | A. Martínez
SOLAR CSP Increase the efficiency of the plant (new power cycles, mirrors, coatings, tracking control, design tools) Lower costs (power block heat management, durability, cheaper structures, cleaning systems) Better dispatchability (sensible and latent heat storage, solar radiation forecast, hybridization concepts) Lower environmental footprint (coupling of CSP-desalination, new fluids) Improve the Scientific and Technological Knowledge EEC, 2012-05-15 | A.
