Hyress – Hybrid renewable energy systems for the supply of services in rural settlements in countries of the Mediterranean area The strategic objective of the Hyress project was to eliminate the knowledge barriers regarding the installation of hybrid systems based on renewable energies. As a demonstration, the installation of “mini-grids” based on renewable energies was carried out in remote populations in the partner countries of the Mediterranean area (MPC). The hybrid systems envisaged under this project consisted of combinations of photovoltaic plants, small wind turbines or hydropower. Three systems combining these different technologies were designed and installed in rural villages…

Fotosil – Photoluminescent ions for the formation of third generation photovoltaic cells based on silicon. The FotoSil Project ‘Photoluminescent ions for the formation of third generation silicon-based photovoltaic cells’ was funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation, within the National Plan for Scientific Research, Development and Technological Innovation, 2008-2011, Sub-programme for scientific and technological actions in Science and Technology Parks, INNPLANTA 2011. The total grant amounted to €808,088.00 (2011-2013), 70% of which came from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) of the European Commission. Solar photovoltaic energy is one of the renewable energies that is in continuous evolution, a…
Hymac – Plan for the Implementation of the Hydrogen Economy in Macaronesia: Stationary Applications The main objective of the HYMAC project “Plan for the Implementation of the Hydrogen Economy in Macaronesia: Stationary Applications” was to identify technologies for the production, storage and use of hydrogen, both centralized and decentralized, and as a fuel for land transport. To achieve this objective, an analysis was made of the problems of each of these technologies, the challenges they pose, the existing lines of research, finally trying to summarize the most appropriate primary energy sources for each case, the expected investment and operating costs,…
Study of alternatives and technology transfer for the implementation of renewable energies as part of the electricity supply in Tenerife and Senegal and pilot project for a grid-connected installation (MAC/3/C179). This project, conceived as a platform for technical cooperation in the field of the integration of renewable energies in electricity grids between the Canary Islands and Senegal, began in October 2010 and ended in June 2013. It was born with the main objective of improving the capacity of public authorities and local technicians to favour the implementation of renewable energies for electricity supply in these regions. The MACSEN-PV project was…
Design patterns for optimisation of energy consumption and sustainable energy generation in single-family houses in hot climates Design patterns for the optimisation of energy consumption and sustainable energy generation in single-family houses for hot climates is a project funded by the Subprogramme of Applied Industrial Research within the 2008 National Programme of Applied Research Projects of the Ministry of Science and Innovation of the Government of Spain. The project is based on the monitoring of energy consumption and comfort in different types of bioclimatic housing, under real conditions of use, with the fundamental objective of carrying out a comparative study…
The SiNARQ project is funded under the 2013 call of the State Programme for Research, Development and Innovation oriented to the Challenges of Society, within the framework of the State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation 2013-2016. This project aims to manufacture crystalline silicon (c-Si) and a-Si:H photovoltaic cells in thin film on glass, with improved efficiency through the addition of a down-converting photovoltaic film (LFB) in the device. The cells will be assembled in the ITER module factory and integrated into bioclimatic buildings. The main objectives of the project are as follows: Cost-competitive synthesis and deposition of…
The UVSiTE project is funded within the 2013 Call for Research Projects of the Fundación Obra Social CajaCanarias. UVSiTE aims to improve the energy efficiency of silicon-based photovoltaic cells and modules by integrating a new type of down-converter film. This process will allow the capture of high-energy photons, in order to increase quantum efficiency at certain wavelengths. The objectives of the project are as follows: Manufacture a new type of down-converter film for standard silicon photovoltaic cells and modules to increase the efficiency of the device by at least 0.3 percentage points compared to the efficiency obtained without the down-converter…
