The Australian government has aunched the second round of its Hydrogen Headstart program to provide revenue support for large-scale renewable hydrogen projects, while the UK government is seeking industry input on rules for hydrogen-to-power participation in its capacity market.

DHL Freight Sweden and Denmark-based Green Energy Group announced a one year nationwide pilot in Sweden to test the use of vehicle integrated PV with a fleet of biofuel-powered transport trucks.

Scientists have developed a new optimization approach that combines both day-ahead optimization and real-time optimization to improve operations of PV-driven EV charging stations. The framework is based on the autoregressive moving average and the Latin hypercube sampling models.

France and Germany have pledged support for the Southwestern Hydrogen Corridor and have agreed to collaborate on nuclear-based hydrogen support and joint research.

A Danish research group is working on an automated material discovery and performance optimization platform for perovskite solar cells. The scientists claim a unique combination of robotics, advanced measurement equipment, and machine learning.

Researchers in Denmark have developed a new sizing strategy to combine PV system operation with lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. The proposed approach is claimed to reduce annual battery cycle by 13%.

The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) says US hydrogen production will increase about 80% by 2050, mainly from natural gas with minimal electrolyzer use, while key industry players advance large-scale green hydrogen projects and expand hydrogen vehicle support across global markets.

Denmark’s Green Energy Group provides vehicle-integrated PV solutions for road transport customers in Europe and North America. Its PV systems feature copper-indium-gallium-selenide thin film technology in solutions that are designed to extend onboard battery life, cut Co2 emissions, and decrease diesel fuel consumption.

An international research team has investigated the impact of intrinsic point defects in selenium solar cells and has concluded that these defects are not responsible for voltage deficit. The scientists rather believe interfaces and extended defects may be the cause of this well-known issue for this kind of PV device.

Researchers in Denmark claim to have identified the best locations for rear plane-of-array irradiance sensors on the back of single-axis trackers in bifacial PV projects. Their work suggests how to reduce sensor quantities while maintaining accurate performance monitoring.
