Assets connected to the Be-Smart Project

In the Be-Smart Project, IFE will lead work package 3: Multifunctional Performance, Lifetime Reliability, Upscaling and Monitoring. IFE will be responsible for the overall management of WP3 and will perform technical/research tasks as well. The research will include reliability testing of full-size EpoG prototypes, development of fatigue analysis and soiling predictive models, and climate-specific assessment of EpoG’s aesthetics versus electrical performance. In addition, long-term monitoring, instrumentation, field performance analysis and diagnostics of a EpoG test setup in Norway will be done. Further analysis, tests and monitoring on a full size EpoG system installed on a building in Norway will be performed.
