An innovative measurement concept will in future support the servicing of wind turbines. This will also help to further optimise the plant design.

With its alternative wafer manufacturing process, the company aims to enter into mass production of photovoltaics in 2022.

Wind turbines and photovoltaic modules have a limited lifetime. A number of projects are looking at how the components can be recycled.

The new test rig enables science teams to test how powerful wind turbines can optimally supply power to the grid.

The newly developed photovoltaic cell made of silicon and perovskite crystals can convert 29.15 per cent of the incident light into power.

The battery inverter by SMA are the result of a research project and are used worldwide for power storage.

The carbon dioxide comes from the flue gas of a power plant. The conversion is being demonstrated under industrial conditions for the first time.

Micro gas turbines can provide decentralized power and heat in industrial plants or private households.

In "Energy for Tomorrow – Innovative Geothermal Technology" the International Energy Agency (IEA) presents innovative drilling technologies.
