Description du projet
Nouveaux systèmes photovoltaïques intégrés et nouvelles lignes de fabrication pour des systèmes photovoltaïques organiques
Les progrès des nouvelles technologies photovoltaïques sont essentiels au développement des panneaux solaires et à leur intégration dans l’industrie de l’énergie. Le projet Flex2Energy, financé par l’UE, entend soutenir l’innovation dans le domaine du photovoltaïque en créant une technologie photovoltaïque intégrée dont la conception est révolutionnaire. En outre, le projet établira une ligne de fabrication unique de rouleau à rouleau pour les systèmes photovoltaïques organiques, qui sera automatisée et utilisera des technologies de pointe basées sur l’intelligence artificielle pour un meilleur contrôle de la qualité et une meilleure gestion de la ligne d’assemblage, les mettant ainsi au niveau des normes de l’industrie 4.0. Le projet entend consolider les efforts de recherche et développer de nouvelles technologies et de nouveaux outils pour atteindre ces objectifs. Dans l’ensemble, le projet Flex2Energy a le potentiel de révolutionner la production de la technologie photovoltaïque et de promouvoir son adoption à grande échelle.
Objectif
FleFlex2Energy is a 48-month project with the ambitious goal to manufacture reliable Integrated Photovoltaics (IPVs) with differentiated product design, through the development of the first-of-each-kind Automated Roll-to-Roll (R2R) Manufacturing Line for Organic PVs. The F2E Manufacturing Line consists of the R2R Printing & Automated Assembly Machines, enhanced with robust metrologies for inline quality & process control under Artificial Intelligence (AI) analysis, implementing industry 4.0 concept. F2E IPVs will comply with all the standards, codes and product requirements of use in Buildings, Agriculture and Automotive sectors.
The novel idea of Flex2Energy will be realized by 5 objectives:
• Develop and upgrade manufacturing tools for design and aesthetics of OPV products, inline process quality control techniques and easily adaptable equipment design for printed PV technologies
• Integrate tools, QC, equipment to Machines to build & demonstrate automated PL manufacturing of IPVs
• Manufacturing high efficiency, durable printed IPV products at competitive cost
• Demonstrate and Validate IPVs in energy efficient buildings, automotive and agriculture industries with minimum environmental and landscape impact
• Deploy Market Strategy and Bridge the gap between PV and Building sectors
F2E will implement innovative IPV products in three dedicated business cases to promote their early adoption and boost the new market demands. BIPV products will be installed on a public and a heavy industry building façade as energy efficient windows, while Agri-PVs will be installed on the roof of a Med GH working as a shade curtain system for growth of tomatoes and as energy generator making the GH energy autonomous. Finally, VIPVs will be installed on the roof of a commercial EV to increase mileage and also on the roof of a solar Carport to provide energy to electric vehicles. The IPV products will be evaluated in terms of performance, durability, social and industrial acceptance.
