Project Summary
About 200 countries including EU members decided to increase the usage renewable energy sources to fight with the global warming in the Paris Agreement. EU Member States have agreed to ensure that 27% of the energy consumed by the EU is obtained from renewable sources till 2030. Besides The EU aims to reduce the greenhouse gases by 80 to 90% by 2050 compared to 1990. These decisions increase the consumption of renewable energy and together with this, the researches, knowledge, production, employment, qualifications and education systems are changing and growing. In parallel of EU energy and climate goals, PowerUp MyHouse project aims to increase the knowledge and awareness in general about solar energy applications and in particular about Photovoltaic Thermal (PV/T) technology which is one of the excited application since is able to produce hot water and electric at the same time with less load to the building structure. PV/T technology is known and used in high level in relatively well developed EU countries in renewable energy but it is in early steps in other EU countries and the developments show us that the technology will be used in wide level in close future and it must be at the end. The project aims to investigate the PV/T from all sides. The best technological applications, manufacturing, installation, measures, calculations, legislation, incentives, supports, qualifications, experiments and vocational education related with PV/T is the subject of the project. All these will be resulted in the project as; - PVT Technologies Research aims to present the latest researches done in and out of EU related with PV/T technologies. The examples, experiments, products, researches are the topic of this report. - Legal face of PV/T aims to present legal arrangements on PV/T done in well-developed countries such as legislation and incentives. - Guidebook: The project would like to test PV/T system on a sample building with different design and climate conditions for nearly one year. The experiment will strengthen the scientific knowledge in the subject and the results will be shared with the researchers, scientists, training institutions and labor market. - Learning module on PV/T is totally innovative for the vocational training students in renewable energy. The labor market is needed to have qualified staff which could respond the sectoral developments. The training module will increase the knowledge and skills of the vocational training students and their teachers.
Another activities of the project are short-term joint staff trainings. The scientists, lecturers, teachers and trainers will come together in Sweden and Denmark and will get a training related with PV/T technology. The results of the activities will strengthen the quality and content of the outputs and besides, will increase the knowledge and skills on the subject. The project also aims to increase the awareness and knowledge about renewable energy and PV/T on public and stakeholders. In parallel of this aim; four multiplier events will be organized in Turkey, Lithuania and Portugal. The decision/ policy makers, labor market, NGOs, training organizations, universities and R&D departments will be invited to these events. The project aims to reach different target group in different levels; - Renewable energy students will have training module on PV/T and will develop their vocational skills and knowledge which will improve their employment rate and conditions. - Renewable energy teachers and trainers will improve their knowledge and skills on PV/T and will have a training module to use in their current training programmes. - Scientists/researchers' knowledge about PV/T will be increased. They will have more extended scientific knowledge about PV/T. They could do research and R&D works on the subject and to share with their equals in their presentations or/and publications. - Labor market/decision-policy makers-NGOs (organizations and people) will have much extended information about PV/T and will develop their current applications’ quality and content. The project will be realized by the collaboration of 5 universities from Turkey, Sweden, Denmark, Lithuania and Portugal, one NGO from Turkey, one SME from Sweden and one vocational technical high school from Turkey in two years. All results will be open to free usage of the target group and final consumers on the website of the project.
