CEA is getting at INES its first life cycle analysis results of a photovoltaic module with perovskite/silicon heterojunction tandem cells.
ENEL Green Power's TANGO project is the winner of the European Commission's Innovation Fund for large-scale projects. It will increase production from 200 MW/year to 3 GW/year of bifacial heterojunction photovoltaic modules at the 3SUN plant in Catania, Italy.
CEA-Liten recently developed a machine that produces cold and electricity simultaneously from a low-carbon heat source. The new machine uses ten times less energy than today’s compressors.
Mondragon Assembly, a leading European player, specialized in the design, manufacture of equipment and production lines for the assembly and characterization of photovoltaic panels, and the CEA carrying the ITE INES.2S, have just forged a new partnership.
The CEA at INES has produced the first large, flexible and foldable solar sails for space generators in the framework of the European ALFAMA project.
Buildings account for about one third of global energy demand. It can still be greatly improved through a systemic approach integrating more efficient building envelopes, high efficiency equipment and the integration of renewable energy. This approach requires more and more simulation and optimization at the design stage of buildings.
Roctool, specialists in mold heating and cooling technologies for plastics and composites, announces the strong acceleration of its partnership with the CEA to create the photovoltaic panels of the future.
Ensuring access to the raw materials for the European Green Deal: A European Call for Action
In the framework of the Horizon 2020 HIGHLITE project, CEA at INES is developing shingle technology applied to high performance heterojunction solar cells (HJT) and high density/high power for the commercial and industrial roofing market - a promising series of pre-industrial modules has just been produced.
As the number of IoT devices increases, so does the number of spent batteries that have to be dealt with. Making battery lifespans longer is one of the responses to this major environmental and societal challenge. The CEA Tech institutes are developing technologies and contributing to research and development projects to do just that.
IoT sensor manufacturers no longer have to choose between environmental performance and profitability thanks to a technology known as organic printed electronics. A label with an integrated impact detector for the tracking of fragile packages and other items was recently printed on a paper substrate. The self-powered sensor is sensitive enough to detect even the tiniest impacts.
CEA Liten, INES and ITE INES.2S are proud of the first issue of Observer Perspectives magazine: "PV Made in France".
EU PVSEC is the largest international conference on photovoltaic research, technologies and applications. With more than 30 oral presentations, posters and session animations, CEA-Liten, INES and ITE INES.2S will again be well represented at the 2021 edition, which will take place entirely online from 6 to 10 September.
In the framework of projects carried out in partnership with the ATAMOSTEC institute in Chile, the CEA at INES is identifying a procedure for accelerated ageing of photovoltaic panels in a desert environment.
Liten scientific report is now online!
For the first time ever, researchers have investigated different combinations of degradation mechanisms at work during the operation of PEMFCs (proton exchange membrane fuel cells) to gain new insights that could help extend lifespans.
The Institute for Energy Transition INES.2S is developing methodologies and tools for optimal management of stationary storage systems. Based on the results of tests on several battery technologies (nearly 500 references), our laboratories are developing, among other things, advanced technologies to evaluate battery status indicators (charge, health, etc.) in order to optimize their management and improve performance and life time.
The M12 meeting of the FriendSHIP project, coordinated by CEA-Liten, has been held remotely the 7th of may.
CEA has achieved average performances of about 18% for a batch of >30 single-junction flexible perovskite solar cells with a record cell at 19.18% with active surface area of 33 mm²
CEA-Liten, a CEA Tech institute, improved and updated its dimensioning software for energy systems combining fuel cells and batteries. The new release should help make developing hybrid electric vehicles more efficient.
To promote the test of bigger reversible Solid Oxide Cell (rSOC) modules, the MULTISTACK experimental platform has been built at CEA-Liten.
Congratulations to the team for the award received at the #SiliconPV2021 conference for the presentation of Jean-François LELIEVRE: "Desert Label Development for Improved Reliability and Durability of Photovoltaic Modules in Harsh Desert Conditions".
