DRI Energy Delft University of Technology

In Prof. Ad van Wijk's plans for The Green Campus at TU Delft a car park will generate electricity. Added benefit for the user: getting paid for parking.

How can we make wind turbines at sea larger and therefore more effective? This animation shows a solution of Delft University of Technology: decreasing the wind load by allowing the turbine blades to change their own shape.

How can we enlarge the capacity and charging speed of lithium-ion batteries to store energy more efficiently? This animation shows a solution of Delft University of Technology: using nano particles that connect with the electrolyte faster.

How can we replace oil by agricultural waste as base material for the chemical industry? This animation shows a solution of Delft University of Technology: adapting and training micro-organisms.

How can we improve the yield of cheap, thin film, solar cells? This animation shows a number of solutions of Delft University of Technology: using nano particles to enlarge the cell’s optical thickness for example.

How can we produce and use heat more efficiently and sustainably? This animation shows a number of solutions of Delft University of Technology: using natural heat and recycling waste heat.
