A clear demonstration of our work quality. Rather than relying on the software alone, we thoroughly cross-check all design work ensuring our customers get the best and optimized system designs. While working on the rear bifacial gain of PV modules to assess the yield of a solar farm accurately for our client from Brazil, we noticed discrepancies between the results we expected and the simulation results provide by System Advisor Model (SAM). After thorough assessment of SAM's documentation, we finally captured the issue in SAM's calculation and reported that to them. https://lnkd.in/eKp8tnP7 #solar #systemadvisormodel #sam #nrel #solardesign #engineering #pvdesign #energysimulations #financialmodeling #solarfarmdesign

Site visit: Europe's biggest hybrid solar-hydro project Enlit on the Road headed Portugal to visit the Alqueva project, a unique hybrid power plant that combines floating solar energy production with hydropower production. They spoke to Pedro Oliveira from EDP Geração about the Projects goals and key innovations. Alqueva stands out for its pioneering approach to hybridisation. It's not just about combining solar and hydro: it's about intelligent management. The project serves as a real-world testing ground for the complementarity between renewable energy production and storage technologies. Here's how it achieves this: • The photovoltaic plant, batteries, and hydro are integrated into an intelligent management system; • The battery storage, with a capacity of around 2MWh, reinforces the project's innovative nature by allowing EDP to explore hydro-solar complementarity; • The battery uses mature lithium-ion technology, a proven and widely used solution in the global electricity sector.

𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 🌱🔥 In recent years, the Portuguese industry has been committed to adopting more sustainable and innovative practices to reduce its environmental footprint. One of the promising strategies in this energy transition is the use of biomass pellets for heating industrial boilers. 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗣𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘀: 𝗔 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 ♻️ Biomass pellets are produced from plant residues, such as sawdust and wood scraps, making them a renewable energy source. They offer a range of environmental advantages compared to traditional fossil fuels and even natural gas. 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝘀 (𝗚𝗛𝗚) 𝗘𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 🌍 The combustion of biomass pellets results in significantly lower emissions of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) and CO2 compared to natural gas and fossil fuels. Biomass is considered carbon-neutral because the CO2 released during combustion is offset by the CO2 absorbed by plants during their growth. 𝗘𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻 📊 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗣𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘀: CO2 emissions are practically neutral, as the carbon cycle is closed. Emissions of other GHGs are also considerably lower. 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗮𝘀: Although it produces less CO2 than liquid fossil fuels, it still releases a significant amount of GHGs. 𝗙𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗹 𝗙𝘂𝗲𝗹𝘀 (𝗢𝗶𝗹, 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗹): These are the largest emitters of CO2 and other GHGs, strongly contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming. Economic and Environmental Benefits 💶🌿 In addition to reducing emissions, the use of pellets can bring economic benefits to the industry, such as lower energy costs, waste utilization, and reduced dependence on imported fossil fuels. This change not only promotes environmental sustainability but also strengthens the local economy and generates jobs in the biomass sector. 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 🚀 For an efficient transition, it is essential to invest in more efficient energy conversion technologies and in the infrastructure for the production and distribution of pellets. Public policies for incentives and awareness are also fundamental to accelerating the adoption of this energy alternative. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 ✅ The use of biomass pellets for heating industrial boilers represents a significant step in the energy transition of the Portuguese industry. Reducing GHG and CO2 emissions is not only an environmental necessity but also an opportunity to innovate and grow sustainably. #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #PortugueseIndustry #EnergyTransition #Biomass #Pellets #GreenEconomy #Environment #Portugal #CleanEnergy UNIPELLETS

⚡️🔋 If you follow us, you already know we spent part of this week at the Lisbon Energy Summit, presenting some of our projects in energy efficiency and discussing how all of us can make the energy transition a reality. Some of our takeaways from the event: 🌍📈 The chair of the event highlighted that “change is already happening and we should aim for progress over perfection.” Innovation has been fast and there’s a plethora of technologies in different maturity levels. However, existing innovation will only take us halfway to the climate goals. 🤝 The Portuguese Minister of Environment and Energy stated that “either the energy transition works for everyone, or it works for no one.” This means the involvement of everyone is essential. We need collaboration between academia, innovators, industry, investors, and consumers. 🇪🇺 The European Commission estimates that delivering the #European Green Deal objectives requires annual investments to increase by around EUR 520 billion between 2021 and 2030. Speakers discussed funding schemes, blended finance options and incentives. These takeaways are very aligned with #F6S mission and our values to boost innovation, foster collaboration and provide access to funding opportunities. #F6SInnovation will continue working hard to bring together the ecosystem, communicate innovation and support founders.

Hybridising wind farms with photovoltaics can increase their profitability by more than 20%. Based on data from 3 existing Portuguese wind farms and a study of the possibility of hybridising them with 5MW or 10 MW of photovoltaic, researchers from the Portuguese National Laboratory of Energy and Geology (LNEG) have determined that the increase in the market value of the assets can reach 5%, while the income obtained from a hybridised farm can rise by more than 20% compared to the income without hybridising the same farm.

𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗕𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 The planned investment will fully contribute to the Portuguese climate goals by enhancing intelligent energy systems and their storage. This initiative aims to increase the capacity and flexibility of the national public grid, optimising the electrical system to handle the expected rise in electricity consumption. The tender aims to introduce flexibility mechanisms in the public grid to optimise and manage the electrical system. This is particularly important given the expected significant increase in electricity consumption due to industrial investments in green hydrogen and the necessary renewable electricity generation capacity. The initiative also seeks to distribute and utilise renewable energy by reinforcing or expanding the network, creating the essential infrastructure for decarbonising energy systems, and contributing substantially to the national targets established for 2030. 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝗧𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗶𝗱𝘆 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁: €99,750,000.00 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁: Projects will be supported up to 20% of eligible costs, with a maximum of €30 million per company and project. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 - 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲: The deadline for applications is 2 September and they must be submitted on the Environmental Fund portal. Projects must be completed by 31 December 2025. - - 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆: Installation of at least 500 MW of energy storage capacity in the electrical network (both transmission and distribution levels). - - 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆: The storage component must absorb at least 75% of its energy annually from the directly connected renewable energy production installation. - - 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲: Installation of battery-based electrical energy storage systems at the transmission and distribution network scale with a nominal power of at least 1 MVA, ensuring maximum power charging and discharging for a minimum of two hours. These systems will be associated with independent power production centres with an installed power greater than 1 MVA, directly connected to the grid from renewable energy sources. This open tender marks a milestone for Portugal’s development of investments in storage systems that will add flexibility and security to the electrical grid, allowing renewable energy to be stored during periods of excess production for use during times of high demand or low energy supply. This approach will lead to network savings and reduce reliance on expensive fossil fuels, minimising energy supply failures. #BESS #tender #Synertics
