The target can be divided into the following main categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Measurements of commercial PV panels, thermal panels and concentrated PV<\/strong> under real working conditions in order to determine actual performances and decays<\/strong>. Different PV technologies are installed with the aim of comparing their performances:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Comparison of PV balance of the systems as inverter<\/strong>, tracker<\/strong>. The analysis of new smart inverters able to optimize the energy produced by the PV-array in real condition, to exchange data with remote monitoring systems and to adapt their self to the grid is one of the major task of the laboratory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Development and validation of forecasting models.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Investigation on alternative concepts related to energy production systems in close proximity to the energy users integrated into isolated grids<\/strong> with storage capabilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n PVT <\/a>System optimization, component improvement and prototypes testing<\/strong>: application of theoretical models to improve actual technologies and develop prototypes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n UAV for PV<\/a>. PV Plant Control and Monitoring by means of Unmanned Aerial Systems:<\/strong> A new research field aims to apply UAVs in monitoring of energy plants to control and monitor performance over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solar Driven heat pumps<\/a>: this activity focus on the adoption of PVT to drive heat pump enhancing both COP and electric efficiency conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Testing of the new organic photovoltaic technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
