PE8_10 Industrial design

LabZERO is a multidisciplinary laboratory to enable strategic cooperation with enterprises and promote multidisciplinary research for the development of innovative technologies in the areas of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources in both urban and industrial sectors. Research and experimentation activities in LabZERO make use of simulation tools and technologically advanced equipment, in order to reduce the risks of applied research and support product innovation in the path “from concept to market”. The laboratory provides innovative solutions for fast prototyping, for the certification of materials and the development of complex systems, in the fields of energy efficiency, energy conservation, sustainable manufacturing, smart grids and smart cities.

LabZERO activities are based on the coordinated work of four research units: three units at the Politecnico di Bari (DEI, DMMM, DICAR), and one at the ENEA Research Center in Brindisi. The Lab is part of the Apulian network for the applied research fostered by “Regione Puglia” and aims to the integration with other R&D networks and industrial clusters. A main strength of the LabZERO is the collaboration with entities of different nature. In fact, LabZERO works in close cooperation with about forty stakeholders such as industrial developers, public territorial bodies, public administrations and Municipalities, and relevant research actors.
The main research activities of LabZERO concern:

Fast prototyping of electro-mechanical equipment and devices for smart city and home automation
Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and power-hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) applications
Prototyping and testing of components for smart grids and microgrids
Medium and low voltage distribution automation
Advanced protection systems
Electrical Vehicles infrastructures, smart charging and Vehicle to Grid (V2G)
Design and test of micro wind turbines
Sustainable manufacturing, de-manufacturing by cryogenics and recycling of waste of electric and electronic equipment (WEEE)
High performance building material characterization
Non-destructive tests for the mechanical characterization of materials and structures
Smart materials and devices for the thermoelectric generation from waste heat or solar energy
Solar heating & cooling
Industry 4.0
Smart Manufacturing & Smart Farming
