European Energy has started constructing Sweden’s first large-scale hybrid park in Skåramåla in the municipality of Tingsryd, where the existing wind farm is supplemented by a solar park.
Rolls-Royce Power Systems is focusing heavily on battery storage systems, energy management and microgrids. Armin Fürderer, Director of Energy Solutions, and Jan Henker, Senior Expert Automation & Controls, explain this in an interview.
The new Berching-Altmannsdorf solar park will feed solar power into the grid of the Berching community wind farm. As with the wind farm, the citizens are once again involved.
BayWa r.e. is setting new standards with its first project in Spain to combine solar and wind energy projects. The project comprises three wind farms with a total capacity of 135 MW and two solar farms with a total capacity of 53 MW.
The Sectors4Energy conference presents solutions for successful sector coupling. This is the only way to stabilise the energy system of the future. The sectors will meet in Cologne in Germany at the beginning of July 2024.
BayWa r.e. and Ampt succesfully deployed a unique combination of wind and solar generation together with battery storage within the microgrid at the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology (ICT) campus in Pfinztal, Germany.
A new electrolyser for industrial applications, mass production of the latest Vertex solar modules, a new version of a planning software and a solar heat pump system with PVT technology. These are our top products of the week:
In addition to a photovoltaic module, new PVT heat pump collectors from Consolar and Triple Solar have an air-brine heat exchanger on the underside of the collector.
The energy company LEAG plans to launch several wind and solar projects with the project developer EP New Energies (EPNE) this year. The aim is to create a network of green energy plants - the so-called Gigawatt Factory. It is one of the largest energy transition projects in Europe.
Axpo is joining a large-scale green hydrogen project in the Abruzzo region of Italy. It includes a 30MW electrolyser powered by a 45MW solar plant
The German-Italian manufacturer Enapter is expanding its portfolio with the AEM Flex 120, an AEM electrolyser that enables the rapid construction of H2 pilot projects in the industrial and refuelling sector.
With the combination of solar park and storage unit, the utility Skelec can supply around a third of the Caribbean island's electricity. THAT saves a lot of diesel, which was previously used for the power supply.
An exciting technology park has been created at the entrance to the Phoenix Contact company premises in Blomberg. It shows which solar solutions, storage units, electrical heating technology and charging stations are already possible. What looks like the future was built exclusively with tried and tested technology.
The Baxby Manor holiday resort north of York has switched to solar energy. The extension of the grid connection was too expensive. An integrated storage unit ensures that all the electricity from the new photovoltaic system is used.
Selecting charging mode integrated in app, a commercial and industrial outdoor storage, a flexible hybrid inverter for up to four solar strings and power and heat from one module. These are our top products of the week:
The combination of solar cells with a solar thermal collector is not brand new. But Sunmaxx PVT achieves an electrical output of 395 watts with the PX-1 and combines this with a solar thermal output of 1,522 watts.
Home Power Solutions (HPS) has inaugurated a solar hydrogen house in Schöneiche near Berlin, Germany. The highlight: The project is intended to demonstrate the technical possibility of a home being self-sufficient in heat and electricity with good insulation.
The Norwegian energy company Statkraft has been awarded the contract for a combined project in an innovation tender by the German Federal Network Agency. The solar project in the municipality of Zerbst in Saxony-Anhalt has an output of 47 megawatts, while the battery storage system has a capacity of 16 megawatt hours.
In the future, Samsung's heat pumps will be able to communicate with SMA's power electronics. The two companies are using a completely new approach for this.
A study proves the economic efficiency of PVT (photovoltaic-thermal) modules. It was shown for the Mahle factory in southern Germany: The factory is completely supplied with heat and electricity by PVT modules and solar modules as well as a geothermal heat pump.
The project developer from Wiesbaden has connected its first PV-battery hybrid project to the grid. The plant in Leutershausen (Rhön-Grabfeld district) combines a solar park with a battery storage system.
The S20 X Pro domestic power plant from E3/DC goes far beyond the S10-E-Pro series with its performance values. Especially interesting for buildings with EV charge points.
Operating a heat pump with self-generated solar power offers a massive potential for financial savings. But in order to exploit this potential, even with low natural gas prices, European governments must do their homework.
Ethical Power Ltd has commissioned the 5 MW Whites Pit solar farm in Wimborne/UK for Canford Renewable Energy. The solar park will feed into a green hydrogen electrolyser as part of the Dorset Green H2 project.
To increase the efficiency of concentrating solar thermal power plants, researchers have found a solution to avoid heat loss. They also use a more compact design and a new heat transfer medium.
