Innovative Technologies for Renewable Energy Production from Integrated Natural Sources in Complex Installations (TEACHERS)

Having as common focus the innovative developments in renewable energy, the project consortium brings together university, academic and scientific research organizations whose objectives converge towards performance improvement by supporting existing institutional research capabilities. The project aims to optimize renewable energy production facilities and to develop functional models which will ensure electric power supply with integrated natural sources, especially in disadvantaged areas, by applying new and emerging technologies. Starting from the complex electricity generation systems, which are patented/in process of being patented at national level and with the contribution of the coordinator and the partner institutions that will develop the component projects, the integrated generation-supply assemblies will be validated under relevant operating conditions. Within the project the complementary partnership for innovation is promoted, the members having a well-defined role within the consortium, each contributing to the significant optimization of the complex systems for renewable energy production in both coastal areas and for flowing waters, improvement of hydrogenerators and realization of pilot models for demonstration and provision of thermal and electrical energy. This project provides the necessary support to strengthen the scientific and technical competencies through the correlation and coordination of activities and resources within public research organizations and the capitalization of these competences through research results provided to the socio-economic field. The project implementation leads to the improvement of research infrastructure at the consortium level and to the reinforcement of institutions capacity through the formation and involvement of the newly employed human resource, in order to acquire new knowledge in the field of innovative technologies for energy production from renewable resources in integrated complex installations.

The complex project has as main objective the optimization of some renewable energy production facilities and the development of functional integrated models that will ensure the supply of electricity from multiple natural sources, especially in disadvantaged areas, by applying new and emerging technologies.

• Significant optimization of complex systems for the production of renewable energy in coastal areas and rivers
• Optimization of hydro-generating systems (electrical integrated) for implementation within renewable energy complexes for coastal areas and rivers
• Optimization of thermal energy production systems with solar collectors in order to integrate in complex systems for energy production from renewable resources for coastal areas and rivers
