    This project studies the dynamic response characteristic of the thermal energy storage (TES) coupled with the district heating network (DHN) and the innovative active control technology for the indoor thermal comfort with efficient load matching. Therefore, this study will develop a more accurate spatiotemporal dynamic simulation model for the TES-DHN emphasizing the thermal inertia and time-delay properties. The research will also develop an active control technology and optimization tool from the viewpoint of system design and operation to match the heat supply and demand more accurately. Moreover, reasonable experimental tests and case studies will also be designed and implemented to validate the developed methods and to disseminate research outcomes. Overall, this project will contribute new scientific findings and efficient engineering tools for active load matching in order to further improve energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions while improving the indoor thermal comfort.

    In SUBSTAINABLE, we develop multifunctional biomaterial composite substrates to increase efficiency and durability of photovoltaic devices. The optical tunability of these films, including their UV-light down conversion and filtration capacity, will be realized by doping and covalently modifying cellulosics. Our target is the 25% increase of the photocurrent (from the standard glass based device). Hindering the degradation by UV light and moisture is expected to extend the device lifetime, which will enhance the commercialization potential of these cellulose films. In addition to better performance, cellulose-based substrates may, e.g., reduce the embedded energy of photovoltaic devices leading to decreased energy payback time. The cellulosic materials allow light-weight devices, flexibilitiy in functionalization, roll-to-roll production, and easy disposal. These solutions will enable a new high value solar energy product family for the Nordic forestry industry.
