Nueva tecnología de inversores e insights de O&M: optimización del servicio y reducción de costes
Lograr el mejor equilibrio entre coste y rendimiento es el punto clave a la hora de planificar y operar una planta de energía solar fotovoltaica. En este seminario web de pv magazine, Ingeteam presentará su nuevo inversor central, el Ingecon Sun 3Power C Series. Además de una alta densidad de potencia y un sistema de refrigeración líquida en circuito cerrado que hasta ahora solo estaba disponible en los convertidores de potencia de Ingeteam para otras aplicaciones, el inversor incorpora inteligencia artificial y otras características que prometen optimizar los servicios de O&M y reducir los costes a lo largo de toda la vida útil de un sistema fotovoltaico.
Solar on new-build homes has significantly shorter payback period
A report by BloombergNEF and Schneider Electric has pressed the case for governments to unlock the world’s potentially huge rooftop solar potential, and cited California’s solar mandate as a shining example.
Spanish consortium wants to simplify hydrogen production through photoelectrocatalysis
Spanish energy giants Repsol and Enagás are planning to build an electrolyzer based on photoelectrocatalysis at an industrial complex owned by the oil company in Puertollano in 2024. The device receives direct solar radiation and with a photoactive material it generates the electrical charges that cause the separation of the water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen.
Heat pump control strategy for solar assisted district heating
Researchers in Spain have proposed two control strategies for the integration of heat pumps in district heating systems assisted by solar thermal collectors. Their technical-economic analysis shows that the proposed combination can reduce reliance on gas while also reducing costs.
TÜV Rheinland confirms that Soltec’s algorithm increases PV plant yields by 5.3% on cloudy days
TÜV Rheinland has verified the performance of the Soltec Diffuse Booster algorithm, which uses both sensors and weather forecasts to drive its solar trackers. According to the manufacturer, it can increase the annual revenue of a 100 MW PV plant in Spain by €1.8 million.
Spain announces 3.3 GW renewables auction
The auction will be officially launched on Tuesday and will also include a quota for small scale projects.
Ligand-free perovskite quantum dot solar cell with 9.3% efficiency
The quantum dots used for the device are based on methylammonium lead iodide and are synthesized within a porous silica (SiO2) matrix. Compared to its bulk counterparts, the ligand-free solar cell exhibited a more stable performance.
The Hydrogen Stream: GCL will use Ethiopian natural gas to feed its ammonia and blue hydrogen
Plus there is news this week of a green hydrogen tie-up in India, plans for another German production facility, and of new hydrogen transport networks for Switzerland and the U.S.
Spanish solar projects secure €68m credit lines
Seven PV plants being planned by Solaria have received direct backing from the European Investment Bank, with the EU lender also the source of a €14 million loan to Natixis which will be passed on to the Spanish developer.
Maxeon secures EU cash to make its ‘stick-on’ solar panels in France
The TotalEnergies-controlled solar manufacturer will secure an, as yet undetermined chunk of a new €118.6 million low-carbon innovation fund to start producing its frameless, glass-free solar roofing products at Porcelette, in northeastern France.
