Electrical energy balance contest in Solar Decathlon Europe 2012

Abstract: Solar Decathlon Europe (SDE) is an international multidisciplinary competition in which 20 university teams build and operate energy-efficient solar-powered houses. The aim of SDE is not only scientific but also educational and divulgative, making visitors to understand the problems presented by real engineering applications and architecture. From a research perspective, the energy data gathered during the competition constitutes a very promising information for the analysis and understanding of the photovolta… Show more

“…Cronemberger et al (2014) highlighted advances, tendencies and solutions through SDE houses and summarized that these houses ran exclusively on solar energy, as part of the requirements of this worldwide competition. Iimuraet al (2014) and Matallanas et al (2014) introduced the electrical system development and design of solar houses in SDE 2012. Serra Soriano et al (2014), from construction point of view, introduced a SML system which was used in SDE for assembling prefabricated and industrialized elements.…”
