Project anatomy

The project activities fall into work packages (WPs) which cover complementary aspects of the problem and overlap with respect to methodological approaches..

 
 

Technical Workpackages

All WPs will run for duration of the 3 years program. With each Work Package comes a set of objectives and well-defined tasks.

  • WP1 : Project coordination and management.

    • Objectives

      Ensure the project success by achieving the project objectives and timely delivery of final results through

      Efficient coordination and management

      Effective strategic and day-to-day coordination with appropriate administrative and financial management

      Contact with beneficiaries, organize meetings

      Maintain effective communication and reporting reparation of regular reports

      Risk management and conflict resolution

      Tasks

      Task 1.1: Administrative and operational management.

      A quality insurance plan will be developed in the beginning of the project and deployed during the project. In addition to regular monitoring, a progress report will be prepared three times a year. This will secure project performance and allow for an early warning of any delays and potential issues.

      Task 1.2 Organization of the project meetings and reporting. It is for personal communication, for the exchange of views and of professional expertise. The objectives of the meetings are to help gain more focus concerning project objectives and to continuously monitor the rate of progress. For this reason, project beneficiaries will meet in the beginning of the project (Kick-off meeting) to refine the work content and the cooperation. The interim Project meetings will be organized each semester.

      Build new and increase existing training and research capacities in the field of project themes Raise awareness among stakeholders about the project (aims, activities and results of trainings) and enhance collaboration between Tunisian private and public sectors Disseminate relative and appropriate information, update stakeholders with pertinent news and opportunities in the field of integration rooftop PV systems to Tunisian Electrical distribution network, promote the excellence of the project participants, involve them in new international and national collaborative projects Enhance information flow and facilitate mutual information exchange

      Tasks

      Task 7.1: Development of training modules and workshop: elaboration of training material, selection of and tutors, selection of participants and delivery of the workshops. The training modules are going enhance staff members competencies and also others students doing no work on the project

      Task 7.2: Training and workshop realization

      Task 7.3: Dissemination plan, dissemination-Dissemination activities cover 3 main groups of stakeholders Valorization community: Researchers of the target domain, but researches working in complementary fields in order to enable the complementarities and cross cooperation (architecture, societal, etc.) Innovation community: Industrials, corporate groups, and startups of PV systems(designers and producers, storage systems, etc.). Institutional community: and business intermediaries in order to let the project partners and other attendees benefit from their expertise/knowhow. A dissemination plan will be developed in the beginning of the project to define the strategy and ensure the appropriate coverage of the four groups of stakeholders with pertinent. The dissemination plan will be regularly updated to adjust the dissemination activities.

      Task 7.4 Development of the project’s promotional Kit in the first year containing the general information about the project: logo, slogan, team’s composition, project’s concept, objectives and foreseen activities, contacts (web site, e-mail, Facebook, LinkedIn addresses).

      Timeline

       

      Research work in the frame of WP2 to WP5 workpackages is conducted with a first phase of databases generation, modelling and simulations activities.

      Databases are created by collecting experimental data from local plants or available through other sources to which participants have some access.

      WP6 will start with a data base generation from techno- economic benchmarking (pricing, policies & regulations) that will be used for WP5.

      Second project phase will be real/virtual prototyping phase by means of PV inverter laboratory prototypes and Power Hardware-in-the Loop concept, mixing virtual and real material/prototype to integrate proposed solutions.

      Functioning tests are also aimed to validated algorithms to be developed for PV inverter.

      Financial aspect with business model will be conducted in a third phase, the third year, after the end of the project funding.
