Proposal APERTURES. PART B Priority6.1.3.1.1.2 - FP6-2005-TREN-4 p 27 of 49
List of most relevant projects: At the moment (2005) SASSO works in some projects, financed by the Framework
Programs of the European Community, in branches of Research, Energy and Endurable Development:

o SEARCH (RTD Craft) development of a new management and control system of an hydro power station
based on BUS technology of field with distributed intelligence
o SHERPA (Altener) analyse of the status of energy technologies’ art on isolated structures in West Europe
and further passage of the know-how to developing situations in East Europe.
o ORMA (Craft) project for the optimization for the resources and flows of energy, materials and wastes in
an industrial eco-park (industrial ecology)
o EUWMC (Cluster) creation of a grid on the subject of solid urban wastes
o CRESMED (Inco) Cost efficient and reliable rural electrification schemes for South Mediterranean
countries based on multi user Solar Hybrid grids
Today SASSO works all over the world (Europe, Asia, Africa and South America…) whether directly or in
collaboration with local situations, or still NGO, guaranteeing the service to each user: from small systems
for independent use, up to grid-connected plants, and till the most hidden refuges in the Alps.
By consequence, its clients are so different: from private industries to public research institutes, from motorway
societies to NGO , from municipality to many Alpine European Clubs and environmental associations.
Regarding solar-thermal installations, SASSO is being creating a good collaboration with big companies and
important RTD italian and foreigners organization.
Personnel involved: The SASSO team involved in the project will be lead by Mr. Andrea Sasso

Partner 8 : TCPE Institute /Technological Centre of Energy Conversion (SME Slovenia)
The Technological Centre of Energy Conversion is founded by several institutions, such as university of Maribor,
faculty of mechanical engineering and faculty of electrical engineering and computer science, Holding Slovenian
Power plants, All Slovenian companies for electricity distribution, Eco Power CEA, Ferotherm and TSN –
Switchgear manufacturer.
Mission of the TCPE institute is carrying out research and development, instructing, qualifying, training, designing
and supervising on energy conversion field. Integration of dispersed generation of energy into energy networks and
its effective use at all levels carries special importance. The purpose of our development projects is the transfer of
knowledge into practice together with the introduction and application of already verified technologies.
Objectives of the TCE institute:
- to assure conditions of infrastructure at the branch and regional level for creation and transfer of
knowledge, development results and technologies into economic practice,
- to stimulate the rationalization of the research and development infrastructure utilization,
- to stimulate permanent cooperation of the research and development sphere with economy and working in
mixed groups,
- to stimulate development integration of economic organizations within an economic branch,
- to improve the information flow concerning the needs for knowledge and knowledge supply,
- to stimulate innovation, a design approach and a comprehensive quality approach,
- to influence the development policy and guidance of research and development means, expert advanced
study courses for the needs of industry and the needs of the founders,
- research and experimental development in the field of natural science,
- research and experimental development in the field of technology,
- execution of projects intended for the support and promotion of new ideas,
- to propagate developments and arrange consultations,
- providing assistance to cofounders with acquiring subsidies,
- to carry out measurements and testing,
