Our research showcase

Within the framework of a new European H2020 project, nine research institutes and eight industrial partners across the whole value chain are collaborating on innovative solutions to produce silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules with higher performance, lower cost and better …

The energy transition leads towards smarter electric power systems taking the form of cyber-physical systems in which the electrical power grids are strongly interlinked with a growing number of information and communication systems. The project aims at developing novel …

FLEXharvester is an easy portable open data model and architecture for building energy flexibility management solutions.

KU Leuven, imec and UHasselt, all partners within EnergyVille, are engaging in the DAPPER project, together with UGhent. With the support of Flux50, this project investigates building integrated solar systems, in order to predict, monitor and improve performance in the long …

The energy consumption in buildings is a huge challenge in realising the energy transition. The Interreg project Sunovate focuses on smart heat management in windows and solar panels, with a strong focus on the development of new materials that actively contribute to the …

The 2-year project, Sabatair, aimed at supporting the air transport supply chain in defining the appropriate requirements for a safe transport of lithium battery consignments. During the project, a guideline was developed to support the production of a safety risk assessment …

MAGNITUDE aims to develop business and market mechanisms as well as supporting coordination tools to provide flexibility to the European electricity system, by increasing and optimizing synergies between electricity, gas and heat systems.

The FlexPlan project aims at establishing a new grid planning methodology considering the opportunity to introduce new storage and flexibility resources in electricity transmission and distribution grids as an alternative to building new grid elements.

Estimations suggest that an increased efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) appliances above the Shockley-Queisser single-junction limit is related to the creation of tandem devices. The EU-funded PERCISTAND project will focus on the development of innovative materials and …

Electricity networks have been widely equipped with alternating current technology at 50 or 60 Hz for over century. However, DC technology provides clear technical advantages in a world that will be dominated by energy storage systems, photovoltaic modules, digital equipment …

PROMOTioN seeks to develop meshed HVDC offshore grids on the basis of cost-effective and reliable technological innovation in combination with a sound political, financial and legal regulatory framework.

The project aims to catalyse a lasting cross border collaboration between this industry, research and other stakeholders. The goal is to technically enable local manufacturers and building and construction companies to realize cost effective integration of long lengths of …
