Advancing Solar Power Efficiency: Medium Voltage Technology In Focus In the drive towards greater resource efficiency in photovoltaic (PV) power plants, Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE is pioneering the adoption of medium voltage (MV) technology. This strategic shift aims to minimize the use of critical raw materials like copper and aluminum, which are essential for connecting renewable energy sources to the grid. Traditionally, PV plants have operated at low voltages, necessitating larger cross-sections of cables to transmit power efficiently. However, Fraunhofer ISE asserts that transitioning to medium voltage can significantly reduce these material requirements.

🔋 There’s a critical role that #EnergyStorage & #BatteryTechnology plays in contributing to solving Southeast Asia's (SEA) #EnergyTransition. 📈 According to researchers from Korea University, global installed battery energy storage system (#BESS) capacity is currently at 45 gigawatts (GW) but expected to reach 500GW by 2030—an 11X increase in the next 6 years! 🚀 SEA is seeing it's own major advances in BESS capacity, with #Singapore launching the region's largest BESS facility last year with 200MW/285MWh capacity and surpassing its own goal of 200MWh energy storage by 2025. 🏎 However large this may sound, #electricvehicles are expected to drive the lion's share of battery cell demand: they currently account for around 79% of global battery demand but this is expected to reach 86% (~3600GWh) by 2032.

DECARBONIZED POWER / LTDA : Grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) were the biggest winners in Japan’s first ever long-term decarbonized power auction, which was held in January, showing that investments in the innovative green technology are well worth the risk. That first auction, which was conducted under the auspices of the Organization for Cross-regional Coordination of Transmission Operators (OCCTO), proved to be most profitable for BESS and pumped hydro storage developers. The government had allocated over 1.6 GW of capacity for 30 such projects. Nevertheless, even though the government introduced the scheme to promote and finance a shift away from fossil fuels, it supported the co-firing of ammonia or hydrogen with coal. Also, the auction had a separate category for gas-fired capacity from LNG. Such an approach initially raised concerns that METI would use the scheme to prop up thermal generation. Contrary to speculation, however, the auction results announced on April 26 showed that officials are not trying to slow the transition to renewables. In fact, the low-commitment auction criteria left both the government and developers with room for second thoughts. So, how can we be sure that all of the winning projects will come online? How will the results affect the next auction? Japan NRG looks at the results of Japan’s first long-term decarbonized power auction (LTDA) and examines the rewards and challenges that developers may face. ----------------------------------- This is an extract from a premium *Japan NRG Weekly* report.

While it's great to have more renewable energy, it can create problems for the grid ⚡ Noman Shabbir with co-authors examined this issue in greater detail, exploring various strategies to enhance the grid's capacity to handle a high number of PV (solar panel) systems in low-voltage networks. Too many PV systems can overload distribution transformers and feeders, causing voltage fluctuations and instability. These challenges are significant for network operators to manage effectively. 🔗 Read the article "Enhancing PV hosting capacity and mitigating congestion in distribution networks with deep learning based PV forecasting and battery management" in the Applied Energy journal (vol 372): https://lnkd.in/dwK3G9BW #ResearchandDevelopment #UrbanInnovation #AcademicPaper #GreenTransition #AppliedEnergy #SolarPanels

Grid-independent energy systems are designed on self-sufficient electricity production, which improve energy resilience and reduces dependence on Grid connectivity offering an uninterrupted electricity supply at any location and during grid failures. These Micro-Grids combine renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and battery storage whereas these methods encourage sustainable growth, reduce carbon emissions, and creates energy independence. Based on global studies the potential of renewable energy sources, particularly solar PV, in addressing the energy needs of EV charging infrastructure, both in urban and rural settings shall be playing a big role and at EzUrja, we have designed our EV Hubs ready for the year 2030 onwards. Focusing on ECGs, integration of renewable energy into charging stations not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also enhances energy accessibility and sustainability. The surging demand for EVs is bound to place a greater load on the electrical grid. The energy used for charging electric vehicles must come from sustainable and renewable sources, ensuring their sustainability…. developing a model for EV charging systems that utilize renewable energy and optimize the charging process is imperative to achieve technical and economic advantages  that solar power generation is the most feasible choice for EV charging among the various renewable energy sources currently accessible. EVs have emerged as a compelling solution with long-term environmental and energy sustainability objectives. It is replacing conventional fossil fuel vehicles with zero direct carbon emissions. 3 million EVs are currently in use worldwide as per available data, and this number is projected to achieve 100 million plus by the year 2030 due to the faster adoption.

By 2030, ~60% of the CO2 emissions reductions in the energy sector will be attributed to batteries, emphasizing their crucial role in achieving our collective climate targets. ~20% of these CO2 emissions reductions are directly connected to batteries used in electric vehicles and battery-supported solar PV systems. An additional 40% of the emissions reductions come from the electrification of end-uses and renewable energy sources which are indirectly facilitated by batteries.  #environmentalcontent POWEROAD ENERGY STORAGE Sparq Volt Energy Solutions Sharp Solar ES Solar Wesco e-STORAGE Canadian Solar Inc.

Recycling and other circularity practices within various sectors of the energy transition are becoming increasingly important. The China Photovoltaic Test Center (CPTV) stands as the largest center for the inspection and testing of solar PV panels in China. CPTV plays a crucial role in providing access to certifications for both international and domestic markets and boasts comprehensive testing capabilities across the entire PV industrial chain, from raw materials to solar farms. Acting as a bridge between the government and industry leaders, CPTV ensures that the solar industry receives accurate and effective policy advice.   Our colleagues Jason Jin and Floor van den Brink, who are based at the Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Shanghai, recently visited CPTV to discuss recycling and other circularity practices within the Chinese solar industry. It was an excellent opportunity to connect and gain valuable insights into China's advancements toward a circular economy! These insights are particularly important to the Netherlands Innovation Network China as our colleague Floor van den Brink is conducting a research project to assess China's current standing in circular energy practices relative to that of the Netherlands. By performing this comparative analysis, we aim to identify areas of potential synergy and collaboration, pinpointing sectors where knowledge exchange and joint ventures could yield mutual benefits. Follow us for more information and to stay updated on the findings of our research once published.

Renewable energy is the way of the future - but issues like variability and surplus generation have so far created headaches in the move to fully utilising these energy solutions. Interconnected scattered microgrids may be the answer. Associate Professor Ali Arefi from Murdoch's School of Engineering and Energy, and his research team, have introduced the concept of a 'reconfigurable multi-microgrid.' Microgrids are small-scale power systems powered by clean energy. By creating a system to efficiently exchange power among the microgrids, we can mitigate variability in load demand and renewable energy source generation.
