Germany has concluded a recent tender for innovative renewable energy projects. The exercise drew 158 bids with a total capacity of 2,020 MW. The authorities awarded 29 projects with a total capacity of 486 MW. All selected projects were for PV plants combined with energy storage.
[pdf] Citywide compressed air energy systems for delivering mechanical power directly via compressed air have been built since 1870. Cities such as , France; , England; , , and , Germany; and , Argentina, installed such systems. Victor Popp constructed the first systems to power clocks by sending a pulse of air every minute to change their pointer arms. They quickly evolved to deliver power to homes and industries. As of 1896, the Paris system had 2.2 MW of.
[pdf] The 37.4MWp Schkölen solar project, a collaboration between Enerparc subsidiary Sunnic Lighthouse, Nordic electricity company Entelios and transmission system operator 50Hertz, was prequalified for Germany’s automatic frequency restoration reserve (aFRR) services this week, the first ground-mounted PV project to do so.
[pdf] Statkraft, thought to be Europe’s largest producer of renewable energy, has commissioned Germany’s largest solar battery storage hybrid power plant under the country’s Renewable Energy Sources Act. The €45 million plant was built on 41 hectares at a former gravel pit near the city of Zerbst/Anhalt.
