projects - Power System Research - Three year plan (2019-2021)

Technologies for efficient penetration of the electric carrier into end uses

The project aims to promote efficient solutions that can reduce energy consumption and foster the development of technologies for converting electricity into other forms of energy or converting thermal energy, including solar or environmental energy, into electrical, thermal and cooling energy.

WP – Promotion of energy efficiency
The aim is to develop tools capable of reducing primary energy consumption in residential buildings, especially with regard to small-scale, renewable-assisted air conditioning systems. To this end, appropriate control techniques will be developed, capable of optimising consumption in different residential settings characterised by different comfort conditions, energy efficiency performance, climatic conditions, behaviors and usage habits.

WP – Heat Pumps
This WP proposes the development of an innovative high-temperature heat pump architecture with ejector technology, with the aim of contributing to the penetration of electric HVAC technologies in the residential sector, in accordance with the NES/NECP growth estimates required to achieve the national RES targets to 2030.
