Deliverables

Data Management Plan (1)

Data management plan

The document will expose the access conditions to data generated in the project will be detailed in the Data Management Plan, that will make the data/research outputs findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR). Open access to research data will be promoted and exceptions will be clearly explained in the DMP.The goal of this document is to ensure traceability and archiving of the project data in line with the EU’s FAIR principles and enable the consortium to provide SOLARX data as open as possible and as protected as necessary. The data management plan will be updated very six months.

Documents, reports (4)

Standards inventory. Preliminary report

Standards inventory and contacts with other consortiums with similar standard barriers established

Strategic Roadmap

A report will be made to instil quality culture among the partners, the Strategic Roadmap will include a Risk Management Process and a Quality Action Plan. A quality action plan will be included in the Strategic Roadmap covering: Quality requirements of the project, Quality control of deliverables through internal peer review process, Quality control of the project, files and archives. The purpose is to describe the actions and measures taken to ensure the full conformance of the project with the contractual requirements, issued in accordance to the ISO-9001 standard

Preliminary Project Management Plan

The Project Management Plan includes a Gantt chart and a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), will be completed at a very early stage of the project (e.g. M2). It also details a schedule per task, responsible partner related subtasks, related deliverables, and dependencies on other tasks.

Roadmap for exploitation. Preliminary report

Preliminary roadmap for exploitation based on an initial business model, market assesment and requirements.

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (1)

Project Website including sections for different stakeholders

The actual deliverable is the publicly available online presence of the project website. At the due date of the deliverable an initial website with the basic information on the project will be available. A brief report will be submitted that summarises the creation of the website and plans for further maintenance, updates and expansion of the website over the course of the project.

Demonstrators, pilots, prototypes (2)

Design of microreactor for DMR and bi-energy

A ceramic heating element will be integrated on the unexposed surface of the reaction zone and the design adapted to enhance conduction to the catalyst bed and ensure good thermal contact using compliant clamps integrated in the structure.The adapted design of the microreactor will be manufactured and tested preliminarily.

Design and model of CPV receiver

This deliverable will give the specifications of each individual component of a high efficiency dense array CPV receiver and the goals in terms of electrical outputs characteristics. The deliverable will propose a design compatible with the TCVC cells, the adaptive cooling plate, the electrical interconnection scheme and the fabrication methodsavailable at the partners’ facilities.A simple transient model for electricity production will be setup and exposed here.
