hybrid generators

The advantages and potential of combining solar and wind parks with battery storage at one location are considerable. The main stumbling block for a market launch is the regulatory system. However, some European countries are now leading the way.

Our special issue on hybrid power plants and the technology required for them is now available for you. In the run-up to Intersolar, you can find out why storage units and solar are increasingly being planned together.

In the Netherlands, new feed-in fees introduced in August 2024 are significantly affecting solar system owners. One homeowner in southern Holland has demonstrated how to reduce the impact using solar-powered heating.

SMA Altenso, a subsidiary of SMA Solar Technology, is driving forward the flexible use of renewable energies worldwide. A project in Namibia Altenso has now passed the milestone of 1 gigawatt in total power delivered for hydrogen applications.

The 49.9 MW project in Sandon Brook/UK, owned and overseen by Low Carbon, is the first from Trinasolar to combine modules, mounting and energy storage.

One of the first hybrid solar parks in Sweden has been successfully commissioned in Halmstad. By co-locating PV technology with modern battery energy storage, this project is an example of the interplay between renewable energies, grid stability and high energy efficiency – the path to a sustainable and resilient energy future.

A demonstration plant for the Modular Hydrogen Platform (MHP) large-scale electrolyzer from Quest One is being built on the MAN Energy Solutions site in Augsburg, Germany. Test operation and field data will enable comprehensive optimization of plant operations as well as the assembly and service concept of the electrolyzer.

The Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (Zentrum für Sonnenenergie- und Wasserstoff-Forschung - ZSW) in Stuttgart/Germany has started work on the further expansion of its electrolysis test site in line with the “ElyLab” testing and innovation centre.

Renewable hydrogen developer and independent producer DH2 Energy is developing four large-scale green hydrogen facilities in Spain's Extremadura region. The DH2 Energy initiatives under way in Extremadura represent a total investment of €2.25 billion.

The zinc-hydrogen storage system should be able to be produced at a tenth of the cost of lithium batteries and feed hydrogen into the energy cycle on demand, say Fraunhofer IZM researchers. Initial laboratory tests have been very successful.

MAN Energy Solutions and H-TEC Systems in cooperation with Helen Oy will execute Helsinki Hydrogen Plan. The 3H2 pilot project combines four different sectors, electricity, heating, transportation and hydrogen as well as flexibility between them.

European Energy has started constructing Sweden’s first large-scale hybrid park in Skåramåla in the municipality of Tingsryd, where the existing wind farm is supplemented by a solar park.

With the combination of solar park and storage unit, the utility Skelec can supply around a third of the Caribbean island's electricity. THAT saves a lot of diesel, which was previously used for the power supply.

With the 450-megawatt hybrid project, the company based in Dresden, Germany is planning a utility-scale plant for continuous green electricity generation.

An exciting technology park is being created at the entrance to the Phoenix Contact company premises in Blomberg. It shows which solar solutions, storage units, electrical heating technology and charging stations are already possible. What looks like the future was built exclusively with tried and tested technology.

Danish State Railways (DSB) has signed an agreement with the European Energy that ensures the construction of a new solar park in Eastern Denmark. DSB will purchase part of the produced electricity.
