Our research is focused on the development of new technologies for the application in renewable energy generation, mainly wind and solar photovoltaic and thermal. Other research interest is the measurement and modelling of climatological and radiative variables, needed to design energetic facilities. We are a multidisciplinary research group formed by engineers, mathematicians and physics. Our experimental equipment’s are two meteorological facilities to measure solar radiation (global, direct and diffuse), temperature, ambient pressure, rainfall, humidity, wind and illumination. We formed part of the Consolidated Research Unity UIC-022 of Junta de Castilla y León joined to the research group GETEF (Research Group in Thermodynamics of Phase Equilibria) of Valladolid University. Together we are working in the thermodynamics characterization of Phase Change Materials, and its application in new energy storage systems.
