News from applied energy research

Humid weather is a risk factor for frequency converters. Field data analyses show pronounced seasonal failures of the electronic devices.

Wind turbines create data gaps in weather radar measurements. At RIWER, project partners develop suitable measurement and analysis procedures.

In Newcline, researchers are demonstrating a liquid salt storage system with a single tank and heat-storing bricks in a large-scale research facility.

With JenErgieReal, researchers demonstrate in practice how cities can be sustainably supplied with power and heat.

In addition to technology, photovoltaics must also take meteorological and astronomical events – such as solar eclipses – into account.

The World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion (WCPEC) took place in Milan in late September.

Following a successful planning application, the official start of construction of a solid biogas plant began on 30 September in Kirkel-Altstadt.

Thanks to augmented reality, residents will in future be able to see what planned wind turbines would look like on site.

Knowing the right time windows to install offshore rotor blades at sea saves considerable costs. This is where the start-up flucto comes in.
