JEDI ACE aims to provide an innovative concept of an integrated ice protection system: an inte-grated approach, consisting of combined passive anti-icing coating, active de-icing devices and ice sensors. The system will be applicable to aircraft wings and will support an important technological milestone: the composite wing concept, which today includes also morphing properties. The JEDI ACE consortium, consisting of European and Japanese partners, determined three technical objectives for the integrated ice protection system: 1. An active de-icing device based on electro-thermal and/or mechanical actuation, combined with supporting passive anti-icing coatings 2. An ice sensor system for real-time measurements of ice accretion on aircraft structures, 3. An integrated ice protection system with complementary components for excellent operation properties. The work in JEDI ACE will result in validated design concepts and lab-scale prototypes for the future generation of integrated ice protection systems. The design will contribute to: • prevention of ice buildup on leading edges, • improved in-flight ice assessment, • improved aircraft safety • reduced energy consumption during de-icing procedures, • reduced de-icing procedures on ground, • compliance with design constraints of composite wings including morphing properties, • compliance with bleed-air free engines and all-electric aircrafts, • compliance with other surface and coating requirements like resistance against erosion The JEDI ACE consortium will develop evaluation devices for all determined objectives on the basis of newest scientific knowledge, combined with appropriate test sessions to validate the performance of the components and deliver the design concept of an integrated ice protection system. This ambitious goal will be achieved by combining the specific SoA competencies through close multinational collaboration.

Due to barriers that exist in when considering the sustainability of the built environment, optimising energy efficiency in buildings is often a management issue and not one of design. In many cases, it is the organisation responsible for the building that makes the decision with respect to where best to invest their limited resources. For this reason, decision support tools, providing information with respect to a buildings energy consumption and methods for implementation and incentivisation of the solutions, benefiting all stakeholders involved are required. UMBRELLA will address this issue through the development of an innovative, web-based decision-support application, which provides common independent evaluation tools built around new and adaptable business models. The interface will use guided navigation to ascertain key information from users such as: key stakeholders; building location; building type; new or retrofit build; owner objectives and preferences e.g. energy efficiency, carbon and budget requirements etc. Business models, specific to the project and stakeholders will then be provided through the online dynamic web portal, which will allow users to explore and optimise different business models and the relating implications and recommendations for interventions to their specified building. This can be applied to any building at any stage of design or use. The UMBRELLA project will target 2% of the EU building stock within 5 years of commercialisation of project deliverables. This will result in an increase in the market share of energy efficient solutions of 15% within 5 years, resulting in reductions of 3.096Mtoe per year. The UMBRELLA deliverables will be demonstrated in 4 regional flagship projects located in the UK, Italy, Spain and Poland. Finally, the SME and industrial content of the consortium is high, with 7 out of the 10 partners belonging to an SME organisation and 8 of the 10 partners belonging to an industrial organisation

The development of ship bridge systems is characterized by being non-harmonious and far from guaranteed to be of optimal design for the actual users of them. Existing regulations for system and procedure design are disconnected and defined on a level which is not informative for bridge design. Research has shown clearly, that in many cases, accidents and incidents were caused by human error due to non-optimal design of the human-machine interaction leading to degraded situation awareness. CASCADe addresses study and design of bridges as an integrated whole within a Cooperative System Design Methodology, a holistic perspective which allows to detect and solving potential conflicts (incl. human errors), inconsistencies and redundancies (e.g. of information presented on screens) already during design time. We will use the design methodology to develop an Adaptive Bridge System to permanently or semi-permanently adapt the information content, distribution and presentation on the user interfaces to the current situation, relevant procedures and the needs of the individual seafarer. The methodology will be supported by a Virtual Simulation Platform which enables analysis of the cooperative bridge system purely based on models, in particular Cognitive Seafarer Models which mimic decision making and situation awareness processes of real human seafarers. The virtual platform allows a very careful evaluation of the Adaptive Bridge System to research solutions for adaptation which provide benefits (e.g., increase situation awareness) that outweigh their costs (e.g. cognitive disruption). The results of the project will contribute to the improvement of safety of maritime transport through: (1) a new Adaptive Bridge System (ABS) that will recognise, prevent and recover from human errors by increasing cooperation between all crew and machines on the bridge and (2) a new human-centred design methodology supporting analysis of agent interaction at early development stages.

The main goal of the project is to develop a smart window system that will contribute to meeting the energy efficiency targets of the building industry by 2020. This goal will be achieved through a new vacuum insulation glazing (VIG) solution combined with newly developed and robust switchable glazing systems mounted in durable and energy efficient sash and frame. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD 2010/31/EU) requires EU Member countries to have intermediate targets in place for improving the energy performance of new buildings by 2015 and to ensure that by the end of 2020, all new buildings are nearly zero energy buildings. The directive also requires that buildings undergoing major renovation, meet minimum energy performance requirements. The directive implies that building regulations will become even stricter making it necessary to adapt products, components and processes for low energy buildings to the new requirements. Windows are clearly a weak link in the modern building envelope with typically higher U-values than façade elements which often contain insulation layers of 20 cm or more. There is therefore an urgent need to improve this situation and develop a window unit with U-Value closer to or matching that of the facade elements. For maximum impact and overall effectiveness, the new model window will be scalable for use in a range of building scenarios (including renovation /retro-fitting of existing structures), be inexpensive and easy to install, be lightweight, durable and of reduced carbon footprint compared to current available solutions. VIG offers the potential of 2-5 times higher insulation performance with a doubly glazed pane, at the same time providing an extremely slim and lightweight solution. In addition to high thermal performance, the smart windows will have improved control functions including switchable optical properties and exterior surface protection (anti-fogging, easy to clean, scratch resistant etc.).

The CELSIUS City Consortium is going to deploy 13 new technically and economically innovative demonstrators. Another up to 20 state-of-art demonstrators (already in operation) will proof the CELSIUS City Concept covering the full FP7 8.8.2 requirements. CELSIUS has a clear strategy and a pro-active approach to Market Outreach, which will strive to commit 50 new cities to the CELSIUS Roadmap by the end of 2016. When fully implemented, this will lead to 20-45 TWh reduction in the use of primary energy p.a. CELSIUS City is well positioned to deliver those targets due a strong partnership of major front running European cities and their respective utilities, and further outstanding innovative organizations, with track records both in creating technically and economically innovative demonstrators, as well as in understanding and overcoming the barriers for large scale deployment (e.g. Imperial College (UK), SP (S), TU Delft (NL), Cologne University of Applied Sciences (D), D’Appalonia (IT), LSE (UK)). CELSIUS has eight work packages targeting on the successful deployment of the 13 new demonstrators (WP3), supported by a collaborative approach to harvest beyond state-of-the-art insights from Tech & Innovation (WP5) and Stakeholder Acceptance (WP6). The local demonstrator perspective is enriched by the Integration & Roadmap (WP2). The final goal for Communication & Market Outreach (WP8) is based on developing the CELSIUS in the Market Uptake (WP7). A powerful project management office (WP1), seconded by rigor monitoring (WP4), coordinates all work packages and assuring over the time of the CELSIUS Consortium, both impactful deployment and sustainable market outreach. The total cost of the CELSIUS 13 new demonstrators is 69m EUR, of which the cities themselves will provide 55m EUR. The requested EU funding enables these activities laying the foundation for the successful large scale deployment of the CELSIUS City Concept across Europe and beyond 2020.

The vision of the TIPS project is to produce better innovation in the transport sector by enhancing the capacity of EU-funded FP projects in the field of transport to be at the source of innovation and to help them transform research results into products and services. The transport sector is faced with major challenges. Demand in transport will grow by 50% for passengers and 80% for freight (EU 2000–2030). At the same time the call for energy savings, renewable resources and less CO2 is putting pressure. Transport is a main factor for economic sustainability and growth, but this sector needs to be pro-active to get more innovative solutions quicker into the market. A lot of funding goes into transport RTD, but RTD results do not reach the market accordingly. What we need are good practices for the different transport modes, to see which exploitation channels are working, where to find financing and first users and how to access new markets. Based on sound field work, TIPS will analyse successful exploitation in finished RTD projects and derive exploitation approaches and good practices. Highly innovative transport RTD projects will receive help to improve the capabilities to exploit R&D results in such a way that they gain competitive advantages and improved market shares. Road, rail, maritime and air plus intermodal transport will be covered. The results from the field work and the experience from one-to-one assistance to highly innovative projects will be gathered in recommendations and best practice guidelines for transport RTD project partners. Experienced partners, both in field work and impact analysis as well as in innovation and exploitation strategies will collaborate in TIPS. TIPS ensures a good geographic coverage of the EU. With France, Germany and Italy, three huge players in EU Transport are on board. An expert Advisory Board will accompany the work.

Avionic Displays are widely used in cockpits of all fixed wing aircraft and helicopters and show a steadily technology improvement over the years. The current avionic displays are using Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) with LED Backlight assemblies. The benefits for the existing LED backlighting over previous solutions are well known: lower power consumption and more flat display systems resulting in size and weight reduction. The quality of the cockpit display unit is highly determined by the quality of the backlight unit. In order to overcome the disadvantages of RGB and white LED solutions, the DERPHOSA consortium will develop technology for an avionics displays with a new advanced backlight concept, based on Colour Conversion by Remote Phosphor. The objective of this project is to achieve substantial benefits on system simplicity, improving quality, reliability, power efficiency and reduction of supplier dependence and cost for development and maintenance/operations over lifetime. The proposed Advanced Remote Phosphor Backlight concept is an evolution of the current LED backlights based on RGB or white LED’s. By using a blue pump light source (LED) and a dedicated external fluorescent phosphor layer (remote phosphor) the blue light will be converted to a very stable customized white light. The main scientific objective of the project will be the adaptation of the fluorescent phosphors to the wavelength of the blue pump light source, and the tuning of the fluorescent phosphors to the colour filter of the LCD, together with the total optical behaviour over lifetime. The project will evaluate and realize the remote phosphor backlight concept for both direct lit and edge lit application. To evaluate the feasibility, advantages and drawbacks of remote phosphor for each application, two test set-ups will be realised, which will be integrated in existing Display Units (hardware/ software).

Commercial aircraft fault tolerant control (FTC) strategies in the flight control system (FCS) are based on fail-safe approaches whereby a nominal control law is switched first to a robust solution and then if necessary to a direct law controlling the actuators surfaces. Each component of the control law set is designed off-line and has a different level of robustness and performance. The reasons for this conservative FTC approach are: 1. Lack of demonstrated maturity of reconfigurable guidance and control (G&C) methods for commercial aircraft. 2. Lack of research in the practical interaction limitations between reconfigurable G&C systems and estimation / diagnostic systems. 3. A definite gap on the clearance problem for such G&C systems. The goal of RECONFIGURE is to investigate and develop aircraft G&C technologies that facilitate the automated handling of off-nominal events and optimize the aircraft status and flight while maintaining, or even improving, its safety level. These technologies will extend the operation of the current G&C functionalities that assist the pilot and optimize the aircraft performance. Thus, the aim is to provoke a change in aircraft transport towards: “Full-time, all-event availability of performance-enhancement electrical fly-by-wire” This will be achieved by developing: - Advanced parameter and fault estimation/diagnosis approaches. - Reconfigurable G&C approaches. - Integration and integrated approaches for estimation, diagnosis and G&C. - Advanced clearance approaches for such systems. The investigation will focus on off-nominal/abnormal event scenarios directly affecting the aircraft flight control system. The techniques will offer the capability to adjust and adapt to the abnormal event during flight.

The threat of attacks to passenger airplanes with explosives hidden in luggage loaded in the cargo holds or taken onboard is dramatically evident from terrorist events in the last years. FLY-BAG2 aim is to develop innovative solutions based on novel lightweight materials and structural concepts for the mitigation of the effects of an onboard blast and improve aircraft survivability. Direct strengthening of the airplane structure is not a viable solution since it would clearly result in thicker skins and a weight penalty; moreover, the related costs could not be justified in the majority of the commercial routes. Instead, the proposed blast mitigation and retrofitting solutions will be developed to be easily implemented on existing aircrafts. The project builds upon the former FLY-BAG FP7 project which developed and demonstrated a blast-resistant textile-based luggage container for narrow-body passenger airplanes. The aim is now to exploit the knowledge gathered in the previous project to develop new devices for both cabin (addressing the Least Risk Bomb Location requirements) and cargo environments and to enlarge the experimental validation of the new concepts including full scale tests on retired aircrafts. Research aspects to be addressed include the correlation between explosive charge and location with baggage filling percent in the ULD, the effect of pressurisation, or the effects to the aircraft structures and the passengers. The partnership is composed by the core partners from the former FLY-BAG project enlarged by new organisations bringing relevant expertise on modelling and design of aeronautic structures. The consortium is also characterised by a significant geographical spread with 7 different European countries represented and by the involvement of 6 industrial SMEs, as a confirmation of the industrial character of the project, aiming at pragmatic solutions and industrial exploitation of the project results.
