EnergyVille

Individual company presentation

Photovoltaics (PV) is a widely known technology enabling the transition to a sustainable energy system. To ensure efficiency and reliability, EnergyVille investigates new materials and concepts for PV cell and module technology. Next to deploying PV in PV power plants, the integration of PV in buildings, vehicles or other infrastructure is crucial for the integration of PV in an urban context and is hence at the core of EnergyVille’s PV research. As integrated applications require longevity and reliability, EnergyVille also studies PV module ageing and potential failure modes and develops solutions to increase PV module reliability. Our research on PV module level convertors combines the power generation with loads, storage and the grid in an adaptive fashion. Last but not least, we conduct research in energy yield metrology, and develop models for improved energy yield prediction and forecasting.

EnergyVille is a collaboration between the Belgian research partners KU Leuven, VITO, imec and UHasselt in the fields of sustainable energy and intelligent energy systems. EnergyVille develops technology and knowledge to support public and private stakeholders in the transition to an energy efficient, decarbonised and sustainable urban environment.
