Funded by the European Union 🇪🇺 Horizon Europe Framework Programme the project addresses the development and demonstration of innovative and #sustainable #energy harvesting systems capable of recovering hidden #hydro energy from existing piping systems, open streams and open channels. New technology for energy recovery ⚡️ This new technology is based upon the use of #piezoelectric materials attached to submerged bodies with deforming walls and of electromagnetic regulators absorbing the transverse motion of oscillating bodies inside flows. The power density of the proposed energy harvesters will be significantly improved due to the multi-physics design approach and the innovative adaptive power take-off (PTO). 🔬 Coordinated by Università degli Studi di Padova and with a consortium of 14 organisations, including universities, research centres and public utilities from 9 countries combining research activities in the hydroelectric sector with the needs of public service in water management: Universitat Polit��cnica de Catalunya, Uppsala University, Technische Universität Wien, University of Ljubljana, Brno University of Technology, Reykjavik University, TÜBİTAK, Edison SpA, Vattenfall, ACQUE VERONESI, Izmir Sewerage Administration, Orkuveita Reykjavíkur and CJH Multisourcing SNC. Follow our journey as we test and validate the effectiveness of the technology in real operating conditions reproduced in laboratories representing actual industrial water facilities and free-flowing streams located across Europe! More info will be launched soon in the upcoming months – stay tuned and follow us! 🗞 #research #technology #europeanunion #utilities #water#power
