A EUROPEAN PROJECT SUPPORTED THROUGH
THE SEVENTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME
FOR RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT
CHEETAH knowledge Exchange Portal is an integral part of CHEETAH project web site powered and developed by DTE unit of ENEA ©2014 - 2018 with support of all CHEETAH Partners. Starting from early 2018, CHEETAH KEP moved its first steps to became EERA Knowledge Exchange Platform for PV Technology (KEPT-PV). A new name for the previous platform characterizing our will to serve better and more efficiently in Knowledge Exchange a wider European and International PV RTD community.

Short Bio

Rannveig Kvande has a PhD within the field of directional solidification of mc-Si where she participated in developing new silica crucible concepts in close cooperation with Vesuvius. She also studied the incorporation and impact of impurities (especially iron) in mc-Si. She has worked in industry for several years in developing the SOLSILC process, producing upgraded metallurgical grade silicon (UMG-Si) based on high purity raw materials. Her main interests are the crystallization process and characterization of solar cell silicon but has also substantial experience within silicon production and refining.
