Research: An overview
In the Energy Engineering Department, various research tasks are carried out by means of the different Research Groups, also in collaboration with companies, Technology Centres and Public Administrations.
- Energy efficiency in buildings, both in terms of the building envelope and facilities.
- Renewable energies in the marine environment: offshore wind and solar photovoltaic energy, as well as nearshore and offshore wave energy.
- Meteorology, climate and environment, due to climate change and its impact on the availability of water, wind and wave resources.
- Alternative internal combustion engines, mainly in applications associated with maritime and industrial transport.
- Assessment of the impact of radioactive emissions in the biosphere and their characterisation, as well as Automatic Radiological Surveillance.
- Characterisation of candidate materials for fusion reactors, using techniques that analyse the interaction of different gases.
- Water meter verification and calibration tests, obtaining error curves and extending useful life according to Order ICT/155/2020.
