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.
The EU wants to promote energy communities. A number of countries are further along than Germany in implementing corresponding targets. In the EU project FEDECOM, energy communities are now to be more closely integrated into sector coupling.
The smarter E Forum offers visitors of The smarter E Europe practical knowledge on the major topics of the energy transition such as smart grids, sector coupling, digitalization, flexibility and much more.
A new housing estate in the municipality of Kressbronn on Lake Constance in Germany generates ground-level geothermal energy for the community. Find out more about this in July at the Sectors4Energy conference in Cologne.
Sector coupling is also an important topic in France, says Lucie Lochon from the Franco-German Office for the Energy Transition.
The Sectors4Energy conference presents solutions for successful sector coupling. This is the only way to stabilise the energy system of the future. The sectors will meet in Cologne in Germany at the beginning of July 2024.
Elio offers planning, consulting and key components for solar-electric buildings. The overall concept for a highly independent energy supply in new and existing buildings is based on digitally controlled infrared heaters, a domestic hot water heat pump and photovoltaics.
Power2Drive Europe 2023 provided a picture of tomorrow’s mobility and its role in future smart energy systems. 260 exhibitors showcased their products and innovations at the international exhibition for charging infrastructure and e-mobility.
In the future, Samsung's heat pumps will be able to communicate with SMA's power electronics. The two companies are using a completely new approach for this.
A study proves the economic efficiency of PVT (photovoltaic-thermal) modules. It was shown for the Mahle factory in southern Germany: The factory is completely supplied with heat and electricity by PVT modules and solar modules as well as a geothermal heat pump.
The finalists for the first EM-Power Award provide innovative, pioneering answers to the question electrification and volatile power sources. The award will be presented on June 13, on the eve of the start of Europe’s largest platform for the energy industry: The smarter E Europe.
With life cycle assistance, Fronius supports tradesmen not only in planning and installing the solar system, but also in servicing the systems. This will be just one part of Fronius' presentation at The smarter E Europe.
As part of this year’s The smarter E Europe, Fronius will be presenting at both Intersolar Europe and Power2Drive Europe. Here’s what to expect:
The world’s largest e-methanol plant will not only produce green fuels, but also supply green heat to the citizens of Aabenraa municipality. European Energy has entered an agreement with Aabenraa Fjernvarme to supply excess heat from the e-methanol plant. In total, the plant will supply heat to 3,300 households.
The rising demand for solar parks, for large storage systems and for electric mobility makes big demands of the industry, first of all for the suppliers of the components. What does it mean for them? We talked to Torsten Sieker, senior expert from Phoenix Contact.
Wholesaler BayWa r.e. Solar Energy Systems is expanding its site at its headquarters in Tübingen. The new plus-energy building completely dispenses with the use of fossil energy.
So far, green hydrogen has mostly been discussed in connection with large-scale industrial applications. But with a modern energy system in a settlement in Switzerland, the Elektrizitätswerke des Kantons Zürich (EKZ) show that hydrogen is definitely also a part of the decentralised energy transition.
In future, Solarwatt will sell complete systems with heat pumps together with Stiebel Elektron. The Dresden-based company has thus completed the sector coupling.
Fronius has added devices for small systems to its range of inverters this year. Volker Haider, Head of Product Marketing at Fronius International, explains which other solutions the company has developed and where the trends in power electronics are heading.
The effort required to advise solar customers is increasing because the technology is becoming more and more complex and customers' demands are growing. A software solution shows how automated processes help to accompany customers individually and efficiently. A practical report from Eturnity:
We are already at a point with renewable energies that none of us could have imagined reaching even five years ago. Nevertheless, almost all projects are still thought of in far too one-dimensional a way, each based on a specific type of renewable energy production.
My and our vision as Fenecon is the 100 per cent energy transition. By this we mean a world that is supplied with 100 per cent renewable energies - for electricity, heating/cooling and mobility.
Phoenix Contact's vision for the energy transition in the future is clean and affordable electricity that is available to everyone everywhere in the world. This vision cannot be realised with solar energy alone.
The world’s energy supply needs to become flexible, clean and cost-effective. This requires the coupling of the electricity, heat and transportation sectors.
A heating system that includes a networked heat pump, two different units to store 15 kilowatt hours of electricity and a new mounting system for pitched roofs. Here are our top products of the week:
