NERC Research
The core themes of our research are energy in its new ways of production, distributed energy systems, energy storages and sustainable mobility. We work on system level of energy of buildings, districts and cities.
Sustainable sources of energy include solar photovoltaic energy, wind energy, hydro power and biomass. We focus on the electrical form of energy distribution, as well as on heat transfers. We also work with storages in electrochemical, thermal and chemical forms. A very wide spectrum of energy users are considered, from home appliances to large ships.
