Sustainable Energy Systems



 

In Sustainable Energy Systems, the main global objectives deal with advanced energy-efficient technologies, as well as renewable and energy storage technologies in the scope of industrial andbuilding systems, and electric vehicles. The activities are mainly focused on:

  • Energy Efficient Technologies including the development and assessment of energy-efficient technologies, such as advanced motors and drives, optimization of electrical systems and eco-design of energy-related products;
  • Renewables and Smart Grids including the design of smart grid architectures and microgrids, monitoring and control systems, as well as prediction and optimization of distributed energy resources.
