R & D
The innovative nature of the project lies in the use of regional geographical and climatic variables through a regional climate model with very high spatial resolution (< 1 km) to complement the electrical measurements available in situ. The validation of the developed modules will be carried out in the laboratory on emulated systems, driven by power signals, prior to tests on actual installations.
DETECT provides several answers for improved energy efficiency:
- Quantify and locate local energy resources (regionalisation of the solar resource using a high spatial resolution regional climate model)
- Develop equipment instrumentation to improve rational energy use (PV system diagnostics)
- Use ICT for the development of smart energy devices (real-time distributed diagnostics)
- Improve the mastery of a key technology by local stakeholders (decision support for PV system maintenance planning)
- Promote the integration of solar energy (PV system reliability)
- Strengthen knowledge in the field of renewable energies (aggregation of electrical and climatic data into a database).
