AMADEUS

Creating a new set of hybrid photovoltaic devices which are able to meet the ultra-high temperature capacity operated in latent heat thermal storage (LHTES)

The AMADEUS project targets the development of new devices in the field of thermal energy storage. Such devices should be able to operate at temperatures of up to 2000 °C, well beyond current limits of around 1000 °C. To this aim, the project will perform the proof of concept of a new kind of hybrid photovoltaic devices which have been formulated theoretically. AMADEUS aims at kick-starting an emerging research community around this new technology.
