Strategic workshop addressing the technological challenges of renewable-based

HAS Centre for Energy Research

Project code: Project description:
VEKOP-2.3.2-16-2016-00011 The project takes advantage of synergies between the HAS Centre for Energy Re-
search and the site (HAS Wigner Research Centre for Physics), and is fully aligned
Project leader institution: with the strategy of the former. The thematic project is closely related to infrastruc-
HAS Centre for Energy Research ture investment project No. VEKOP-2.3.3-15-2016-00002 in the framework of
which the HAS Centre for Energy Research purchases, installs and operates the first
Project leader: spherical aberration corrected TEM/STEM microscope in Hungary and then grants
Béla Pécz access to it for researchers, students and industry stakeholders. This project is fully
supported by the Strategic Workshop financed procurement of a dual beam micro-
Project leader’s contacts: scope (SEM+FIB), particle separator, Raman microscope, potentiostat, gas chro-
pecz@mfa.kfki.hu matograph. The resulting workshop will offer excellent facilities for industrial
development activities.
Project partners: The complete transformation of our energy system is the biggest challenge of the 21st
MTA Wigner FK; MTA EK century. Scientific research will play a major role in making the energy sector meet
MFA; MTA EK EKBI supply security, sustainability and environmental requirements. This projects is pri-
marily aimed at photovoltaic energy production and storage, and research on other
Amount of funding: environmental effects.
HUF 564,063,112 • The development of new types of materials (particularly materials with new optical
properties) for photovoltaic power stations, mainly by using lead- and tin-based
Website: perovskite type materials and mineral (pyrite and CZTN) type materials.
http://www.mfa.kfki.hu/hu/ • Computer simulation of a smart grid in the case of network- and household-sized
VEKOP-megujulo photovoltaic (PV) systems.
• Development of applications for renewable energy storage: the aims is to develop
catalysts for electrolytic hydrogen production and to explore the potentials of car-
bon nanoparticle-fed supercondensators.
• Laser energy transmission: the transmission of energy from a high-intensity laser
source, which can be focused to optimum size at the PV inverter with special adap-
tive optics, to moving and mobile assets.
• Examination of the environmental impact of nanoparticles with new methods –
as the impact of new renewable energy related nanotechnology procedures and
biomass utilisation on the composition of atmospheric aerosols is little known.
• Publication of cutting-edge research results – the project assigns great priority to
the production methods, spectroscopy, separation materials testing and certification
procedures of nanostructured materials, and the evaluation of such data.
