THE KING LABS CONCEPT

An important stage in the development of the university is the creation of a laboratory base for new areas of educational and scientific activity.

Concept visualization v.1:

1. Solar energy

UKD scientists are researching the concept of circular economy in the field of solar energy, which consists in the recycling and reuse of photovoltaic module materials, which will reduce waste and conserve natural resources (within the ukd.edu.ua/retrieve project).

In the course of the study, there was a need to study the efficiency of photovoltaic modules. For this purpose, the concept of the laboratory has been developed, which includes the following diagnostic methods:

• Electrical Performance Testing
• Electrofluorescence method
• Thermographic method
• Simulation of operating conditions

In 2024, King Danylo University began work on three projects in the hydrogen field (LUXHYVAL, H2COVE та SH2AMROCK) and became a member of Hydrogen Europe, one of the largest and most influential platforms for the development of hydrogen energy in Europe. This gives access to the latest technologies and innovations in this area.

We develop physical and digital models of the hydrogen valley to demonstrate hydrogen technologies, conduct training and research in the industry.

2.1. The physical model of a scaled hydrogen valley reproduces all processes and elements of hydrogen infrastructure on a reduced scale. The model includes hydrogen production, storage and transportation systems, as well as hydrogen consumers such as industrial plants, vehicles and buildings. It is necessary to demonstrate the generation, storage and transformation of hydrogen, using fuel cells from the building's own solar power plant. It is also possible to demonstrate materials main units and equipment used at real facilities.

2.2. The digital model will be implemented in the form of an interactive whiteboard for interaction with the digital model of the hydrogen valley, which is being developed as part of the LuxHyVal project. This digital twin is a virtual copy of the physical model that displays all processes and interactions within the hydrogen infrastructure in real time. This allows researchers and engineers to conduct virtual experiments, simulations, and data analysis without affecting the physical model.

In general, a laboratory with technical and digital modeling of the hydrogen valley is an important tool for the development of sustainable and efficient hydrogen energy.
