Innovative Building Renewable Energy and Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage Technologies
People Involved
Project Description
The workshop will address a few innovative building renewable energy and thermal storage technologies, namely (1) characterization and optimisation of novel PCM heat storage systems, (2) characterisation and optimisation of solar PV/T systems, and (3) optimisation of the operational strategy for the combined solar PV/T, heat storage and ground source heat pump systems. These technologies, owing to the proven effectiveness in saving building energy consumption, have become the major research focuses and priority areas of development in both the UK and China.
The workshop will bring together selected people with different strengths to exchange information relating to renewable energy and thermal storage technologies, thus enabling them to learn new knowledge and skills. The workshop programme will create a broader network among the UK and China academia (especially youths). It will also help develop new and lasting research collaboration and partnership, and improve the research and innovation potential within the UK and China. The workshop, by addressing advanced renewable energy and thermal storage technologies, will help mitigate severe environmental pollution in China. It will also help tackle the problems of low income and vulnerable populations, by addressing PV/T systems for poor families in China.
