Workpackages
AutoRe is structured around four technical workpackages, one for dissemination and exploitation of the results, plus one for the overall project coordination. WP1 covers a central role, as it deals with all the testing and validation activities of the project, including the 50 kW prototype.
The present WP has the following main objectives:
-
To integrate single components into a 50 kWe CHP system
-
To test and validate the 50 kWe prototype
-
To identify integration strategies and solutions for newly developed innovative components
Alstom UK is WP1 leader
The present WP has the following main objectives:
-
Enable automotive system to perform under stationary conditions and support Implementation of fuel cell system into CHP application
Daimler is WP2 leader
The main objectives of the WP3 are:
-
Design of the hydrogen production system. Design setting for hydrogen purification
-
Control system design and implementation.
Hydrogen production construction, assembly with control unit and hydrogen purification
Helbio is WP3 leader
-
To model and evaluate the performances of the 50 kWe prototype and of the final product
-
To derive diagnostic methods for the prototype and the final product
-
To evaluate RAMS of the systems
-
To define the optimal operating strategies of the prototype and the final product
University of Tuscia is WP4 leader
-
To create AutoRE core dissemination tools, including a logo, public website, video, poster, and project brochure.
-
To broadly disseminate information about the project and its expected impacts to a wide group of stakeholders and the general public
-
To hold a dedicated AutoRE workshop
-
To create and update the project Exploitation Plan
-
To manage IPR
-
To report on dissemination and exploitation activities
GE Switzerland is WP5 leader
-
To ensure that the project reaches its objectives in a given contractual timeframe and budget;
-
To ensure strategic and technical coordination;
-
To manage and monitor project resources (personnel, budget, equipment, etc.);
-
To perform quality control and risk management;
-
To perform project reporting to the FCH JU
-
To sustain and facilitate regular communication internally and with the FCH JU Programme Office.
To fully understand the structure of the project, three main target items should be considered:
-
The 50 kWe prototype to be realized in Rugby, UK
-
Innovative, small-scale units to be manufactured, tested and validated
-
The final system, reflecting the final product to be commercialized through follow-up projects and actions.
Only the first two items above are in the scope of AutoRE.
