Laboratories

TPG experimental activities started at Genoa Lab in 2002, then moved to Savona Campus University of Genoa in 2005. In 2006 the first hybrid system emulator rig was installed at the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre laboratory, thanks to industrial and public funding (Felicitas FP6 EU project). Up to now the Savona lab expanded to about 500 mq and the following research areas are covered

Rolls-Royce FCS UTC

Collaboration with Rolls-Royce for the research on fuel cell systems.

HI-SEA Lab

Innovative Energy Systems Lab (IES)

Innovative Energy Systems lab (IES) -
Closed Cycle
