Descripción del proyecto
Destacada investigación sobre energía solar en Chipre
El Instituto Chipriota (CyI, por sus siglas en inglés) es una destacada institución de investigación chipriota dedicada a la investigación, el desarrollo y el ensayo de soluciones de energías renovables, con especial atención en la energía solar. Para seguir mejorando sus capacidades en este ámbito, se ha puesto en marcha el proyecto CySTEM, financiado con fondos europeos. El objetivo principal en CySTEM es consolidar y mejorar las actividades del CyI en cuanto a la energía solar, especialmente en el ámbito de la energía solar térmica y de las áreas conexas. El equipo del proyecto tiene como objetivo atraer a un grupo de investigadores excepcionales, dirigidos por un catedrático de renombre internacional, que aprovecharán y mejorarán las instalaciones existentes. Además, en CySTEM se pretende establecer un programa de excelencia en Chipre, con especial atención a la región del Mediterráneo Oriental y de Oriente Medio.
Objetivo
The CyI Solar Thermal Energy Chair for the Eastern Mediterranean (CySTEM – Chair) proposal aims in consolidating and upgrading the already substantial activity at the Cyprus Institute (CyI) in Solar Energy, principally solar-thermal and related activities. This will be accomplished by attracting and installing a cluster of outstanding researchers, led by a professor of international stature to maximally utilize and upgrade the existing facilities, and pursue a program of excellence in Cyprus with local and regional focus in the region of Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East (EMME).
The principal focus will be on Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technologies for electricity production, desalination, air conditioning and heating, either in isolation or in multi-generation modes. The Chair shall be embedded in CyI’s Energy Environment and Water Research Centre (EEWRC), a Centre with intense activity in climate change (and adaptation strategies), water management, and sustainability. CyI, being a technologically orientated research and educational institution, will provide the CySTEM Chair the opportunity to contribute to other related important activities of techno-economic nature, such as the definition of a road map for Renewable Energy Sources (and Solar in particular) development in the area in light of the recent discoveries of substantial Natural Gas deposits in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Following the template provided by the Commission, the proposal first presents the main objectives of the chair. This is arranged in subsections to describe what is proposed (research activities), who will carry it out (human capital), what infrastructure and tools will be employed to enable the realization of the proposed program and how the various tools and policies available to the program, including CyI’s educational programs, will be integrated and used to maximize its impact.
