The special resources of renewable energy identified in Romania have generated far more extensive concerns and research on their capture, storage and use. The first part of this paper presents a couple of renewable energy sources, technologies for their capture and conversion, and also several new storage methods and technologies applied worldwide, in order to know the issue, scale and complexity of the field, advantages and difficulties encountered in harnessing these resources. By this we aim to identify the new...

Starting from the great potential of renewable resources existing in Romania, in order to harness and use these renewable resources, the current paper presents some research conducted at the Institute INOE 2000-IHP aiming at creating combined/hybrid systems for generating electrical and heat energy, and also targeting the development of energy storage technologies so that they can be used in any conditions regardless of their fluctuation, especially in isolated places. To do this, on the basis of extensive documen...

In Romania, there are great possibilities for conversion and use of renewable energies, especially wind and solar energy. In order to maximize solar energy conversion, both as thermal energy and electrical energy, there are used sun tracking systems for solar thermal or photovoltaic panels, implying various types of drive: electric, pneumatic or hydrostatic. Based on the experience of more than 50 years in the field of hydraulic and pneumatic drives owned by the Institute INOE 2000-IHP, there have been designed tr...

The paper presents some results of research and development, obtained by the institute and its partners, to promoting advanced technologies and equipment for wood waste recycling, in order to obtain the ecological compost used for developing a sustainable and ecological agriculture. At the beginning, there is presented mobile wood chipper equipment, for fragmentation and shredding of wood branch es resulting from activities of grooming / trimming of trees and shrubs in agricultural areas, orchards and forestry. In...
