Subtasks
Subtask A:
Market and Commercialisation of PV/T
Subtask Leader(s): Ami Elazari, Millennium Electric, Israel
In Subtask A: Market and
Commercialisation of PV/T the objectives are to investigate and
identify the critical design parameters and commercial performance
criteria, which determine the targets and conditions for successful
new components and systems. The objectives will be achieved by the
conduction of a market survey of potential markets for PV/Thermal
Solar Systems in the participating countries and identification of
the primary commercial parameters.
Subtask B:
Energy Analysis and Modeling
Subtask Leader(s): Michael Collins,
University of Waterloo, Canada, funded by Natural Resources Canada
The objectives of Subtask B: Energy
Analysis and Modeling are to provide the necessary understanding of
the energy transfer processes in PV/Thermal Solar Systems in order
to define, to model and to predict the energy performance of the
systems separately and in a whole building context.
Subtask C:
Product and System Development, Tests and Evaluation
Subtask Leader(s): Björn Karlsson, Lund University, Sweden,
funded by the Swedish Energy Agency.
In Subtask C: Product and System
Development, Tests and Evaluation the aims are to develop, test and
evaluate PV/Thermal Solar System components and concepts and the
experiences from products and components already on the market. The
work includes R&D-activities in close collaboration with
manufacturers of PV/Thermal Solar Systems in order to improve
overall performance and solve generic problems with existing
concepts and components.
Subtask D:
Demonstration Projects
Subtask Leader(s): Herbert Zondag, Energy research Centre of the
Netherlands ECN, the Netherlands, funded by different sources
The aims of Subtask D: Demonstration
Projects are to gain the knowledge from full-scale demonstration of
PV/Thermal Solar Systems in order to verify and identify the
potential for improvement of energy performance, expectations to
reliability, durability and economical feasibility. This will be
achieved by dialogue with project stakeholders, monitoring of
selected projects and facilitation of workshops for design teams and
task participants.
Subtask E:
Dissemination
Subtask Leader(s): Henrik Sørensen, Esbensen Consulting Engineers
A/S, Denmark.
Finally, the objectives of Subtask E:
Dissemination are to provide efficient and targeted information of
the task results to all stakeholders of the Task and to make this
information available to the target audiences through various media
and formats according to the preferences of the target audience.
