Report on KIVI activity energy harvesting on buildings at SEAC SolarBeat

SAEC-SolarBeat
After a cup of coffee or tea we started right away with the presentation of Roland Valckenborg (SolarBeat and SEAC). He explained the benefits and boundary conditions of harvesting energy with PV or thermal collectors. In the energy transition a large contribution of PV and thermal is needed. A large area will have to be installed and innovation to integrate PV in buildings are needed. The role of SEAC is to help increasing the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of PV and related products. The expectation is that the cost of PV electricity will decrease to 2 cents per kWh. A lot of area in The Netherlands is available as described in the Roadmap for PV systems and applications in The Netherlands.  Most probably enough to cover the energy needs.

PV
To get enough PV power available all kinds of surface and areas should contribute. Examples were shown of tests concerning PV on noise barriers, landfill, bicycle roads as well as floating solar.  Learning by doing is essential to innovate here!

BIPV
More and more PV will have to be an integral part of (new) buildings: Building Integrated PV   (BIPV).  A lot of interesting products are available already. The status of these product has been described by SEAC and partner SUPSI in a SUPSI SEAC report.

Renovation
Renovation is more challenging than new-built homes and buildings. But some examples are shown of solutions for homes and larger commercial buildings.

TUe-SolarBeat
The projects which go into depth in analyzing the options for PV and thermal products are carried out with the TU/e-partner. Roel Loonen (PhD student TUe Built Environment) shows some results obtained by experiments and related model and simulation work.

ZigZagSolar
One of the projects was with ZigZagSolar  a company producing facades with PV in a kind of zigzag structure. About questions like how to optimize the shape and  how to design the converter configuration.

NEN 5060
A second one is about the calculations of the expected output of PV. This work is aimed at updating the related NEN 5060 standard.

BICPV
The last project was on the use of Building Integrated Concentrator Photovoltaic (BICPV) in facades e.g. in an office building in Alblasserdam. All about optimizing the Lumiduct product of the Wellsun company.

SolarBeat
Out on the roof of Vertigo we got a very interesting tour of all the experiments running at SolarBeat and the way they are conducted.
