Aim of STVE Research

The notion at which, nowadays, zero energy buildings and solar cities cannot be imagined without advancement in solar thermal engineering, renewable energy engineering, smart grid, electric vehicles, building construction materials and vacuum insulation technologies because they play an imperious role of allowing consumers in minimizing energy consumption and build a modern era of GEBs (Generating Energy Buildings) and solar (renewable energy) cities contributing to minimise the impact of carbon emissions on climate change. It can be achieved with the integration of progressive energy and materials technologies with a thoughtful desire of reducing our carbon footprints and make our infrastructure smart and energy-efficient. Also, an aspiration to mitigate the global energy supply-demand gap and for this, STVE (Solar Thermal Vacuum Engineering) Research Group, found by Professor Saim Memon, is dedicated that comprehensively focus on national and international collaborative research and allow to contribute. Therefore, the aim stipulates a multidisciplinary convention for disseminating and stimulating knowledge on research and development in the areas, conceived to be comprehensive and critically analytical, of vacuum insulation technologies, solar thermal systems, photovoltaic films, PDLC films, thermochromic, photochromic and electrochromic films, wind and photovoltaic systems, smart grid integration of renewable energy technologies, electric vehicles, thermal energy management of batteries,  evacuated tube solar collector, flat plate solar collectors, waste heat/electrical energy harvesting technologies, vacuum thermionics, smart windows, solar heating technologies, building integrated photovoltaics, applied vacuum science to energy technologies, applied vacuum systems, phase change materials, solar thermal energy storage technologies, hermetic glass sealing materials, solar absorbers, concentrated solar power, applied heat transfer analysis to solar thermal technologies, advanced heating systems, vacuum insulated solar thermoelectric generator, thermoelectrics for power generation, concentrating optics, building insulation and construction materials, zero-energy buildings, solar architecture, applied renewable energy technologies, solar architecture and applied Internet of Things (IoT) to intelligent smart energy buildings. 

Why We Need Solar Thermal Energy?

For decades, climate change and global warming have been research focus areas, with a push to curb-intervention using advanced cutting-edge technology. The world’s current prominence in becoming a global solar smart city has been spurred by the growing daily energy consumption of the worldwide population. Energy requirements and the related services are indispensable in order to satisfy the mounting social, economic, welfare and health concerns. The adoption of the abundant solar thermal energy resources is inevitable but it comes with the forward-thinking approach of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research and is a vital step toward meeting the energy demands for the future generations. 

How Much Solar Thermal Energy Is Available To Harness?

Amongst all the renewable energy resources available, solar thermal energy is the most copious because it is accessible in both direct and indirect modes. It is estimated that the Sun emits solar radiant equivalent power of 3.8·1020 MW. In which, 1.8·1011 MW is captured by the earth planet, located 150 million km from the sun, and reached about 60% on the earth’s surface i.e. 1.08·1011 MW and about 40% of it absorbed in atmosphere and reflected back into the space. If 0.1% of this solar radiant power were to be converted, at 10% efficiency, in to electrical power that could be fourfold of the world’ total power generating capacity.

Why We Need Vacuum Insulation?

If you were to look on the present from deep into the future we could not imagine a world without the glass, its applications are everywhere, just like we could not imagine the universe without vacuum. Saim classified it as the Age of Vacuum-Glass. Have we ever considered the issue of noise pollution and the necessity for sound insulation, Calm and Quiet Sleep? Have we discovered a significant amount of heat or cooling loss through windows and want to reduce it without sacrificing transparency, Unexpected Energy Bills? Vacuum Insulation, which provides both sound and heat insulation, is the answer.

What Is Vacuum and Why Is It Considered As Insulation?

So far, we’ve just begun to understand vacuum and what constitutes an Absolute Vacuum or Emptiness or Nothingness. But that Nothing Really Matters!. A Vacuum is a Layer of Nothingness or we call it Vacuum Insulation, which is a space between two glass sheets of reduced mass of atmospheric-air. The rate of decrease of the density of air in a space determines the level of vacuum pressure. This provides sound and thermal insulation, because with a lower density of air the mean free path between air molecules can be increased to above 1000 m, ultimately reduces the sound and heat transfer path between air molecules in a space. This space between two glass panes is usually evacuated to high-vacuum pressure (0.13 Pa to 1.33·10-4 Pa) in order to reduce conductive and convective heat transfer to miniscule levels, whilst the heat transfer through radiation can only be minimized using low-emittance coatings. Due to the difference between external atmospheric-air and internal vacuum pressure, spacers are required to prevent the glass panes touching each other. These spacers are called support pillars and typically have radii from 0.1mm to 0.2 mm and height of 0.1mm to 0.2mm. Even a small vacuum space gives the same thermal insulation because radiative heat transfer is the same at any cavity thickness. A vacuum edge seal around the periphery of the glass panes is required to maintain the high level of vacuum and avoid the problems of gas leaks, degradation of coatings, and absorption of moisture. However, heat transfer through conduction occurs because of the contiguous heat transfer path formed by the support pillar and edge sealing materials. Thus, the constructional components that mainly determines the thermal performance of Vacuum Insulation is its vacuum edge seal. The vacuum edge seal must be capable of maintaining a vacuum pressure of less than 0.1 Pa, in order to suppress gaseous conduction, for the expected life of at least 20 years.

Featured Funded Projects & Participations

Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation Small Grant: Design and development of nanostructured heat-reflective coated triple vacuum glazing (Smart windows) for sustainable low-carbon buildings of Japan and UK (Grant Ref: 12549/13360). 2018-2019

LSBU and Hokkaido University, Japan, undertook this multidisciplinary project, led by Dr Saim Memon, empowering Japan-UK collaboration due to our mutual interest on scientifically contributing to the novel development of triple vacuum glazing with Nano-structured heat reflective coating by utilising the research facilities at the centre of Heat Pump and Thermal Energy Storage, Hokkaido University, and the LCEE, LSBU. As per the objectives of this project, The UK partners successfully visited and conducted research experiments at Hokkaido University, Japan between 17-21 June 2019. The Japanese partners successfully visited LSBU and participated to International Conference on Renewable Energy and vacuum Insulation for Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) between 27th– 31st August 2019. It attracted 9 co-sponsorships, 9 speakers and 99 registrations and 45 attendees. This international conference was a multidisciplinary forum of sharing the expertise and presenting the state-of-the-art research work in the form of presentations in the area of Vacuum Physics, Building Integrated Renewable Energy, Solar Thermal Vacuum Engineering, Smart Windows, Vacuum Insulation, Building Retrofitting Technologies, Solar Collectors, Solar Heating and Cooling Technologies, Solar Architecture and Building Integration and Intelligent Energy Systems for NZEBs. It achieved significantly contribution on publications and successful visits from LSBU to Hokkaido University and vice versa. This Japan-UK collaborative project enabled us to develop a future joint venture of different approaches by working together and widening engagement in research dissemination activities between Japan and the UK.

The IET/IMechE Engineering Education Grant Scheme:
Design, Build, Race & Take Solar Powered Electric Car (Race with Shine)  2017-2019

This project, led by Dr Saim Memon, ran for two years to encourage and motivate students’ aged 11-19, especially females, in developing their enthusiasm and encouraging them to contemplate possible future career in the area of Electrical, Electronic & Mechanical Engineering. Groups of young students from local London schools and FE colleges constructed the solar-powered-electric-car by developing the experiences of design, build, test and race learning electrical, electronic and mechanical skills. Our team of academics (The IET/IMechE members) and volunteers based in our School of Engineering engaged students and school/college teachers in developing their enthusiasm, knowledge and passion to Engineering. Students along with teachers took hand-made cars to their home as a motivational symbol to Engineering. Also, students and teachers were invited to visit our in-house high-spec Electrical, Electronic and Mechanical labs and meet our skilled Engineers/technicians with the motivational-demonstration of facilities to the real world applications. The project funded by The IET/IMechE EEGS enabled us to engage local London Schools and FE colleges with the addition of giving motivational lectures on Electricity and publicity to young students in choosing career paths in Engineering and continue long after the completion date as a contribution to enhance our UK’s expertise in Engineering to our young generation.
