Sustainable, Innovative, Modular: Applications and Products for Local and Public Energy Infrastructure

Thursday, June 20, 2024

Time: 01:00 pm - 02:20 pm
Hall: Messe München
Room: Hall C5, Booth C5.374

This session will provide an overview of innovative PV applications: from mounting solutions for floating PV to balcony solar systems with storage devices. We will discover how solar panels can be used on railroad tracks and how PV waste heat can be used for space heating. There will also be a presentation on thin-film photovoltaics and how to recover valuable raw and other materials from PV production.

Hybrid PV Power Plants I: Providing Flexible Generation for the Energy System

Wednesday, June 19, 2024, 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

ICM München Room 14 B

Hybrid power plants play a crucial role in addressing the flexibility limitations of variable renewables. Solar and wind and/or battery storage systems improve grid-stability, allow to integrate more renewable energy and offer potential additional revenue for power plant operators. This session will include: Hybrid solar power plant case studies Status and developments of hybrid solar power plant systems Policy frameworks for a solar-based hybrid power supply
