Introduction: The DCT-REES Erasmus+ project was an EU sponsored project to promote the use of DC energy instead of traditional AC systems with the objective of improving system efficiency. The European and South African universities have specialized in different projects in the use of DC. The transfer of knowledge between the Universities was part of Work Package 5 and essential for the effective distribution of the collective knowledge.
Due to Covid-19 restraints, the original approach (learning by doing in a physical, tangible project) was not feasible. Therefore, partners have organised two online series of meetings (August 2020 and April & May 2021) to have workshops via Teams, to transfer knowledge on experiments, on lab infrastructure and on industrial developments and projects in the field.
These workshops are available in the DCT-REES public Space on the Xdemia platform. In the files section of this public Space, accessible via the link below, please proceed to the meetings in August 2020 and April and May 2021, to view these workshops and discussions.
