In this blog, we will explore the future of sustainable power by highlighting some of the exciting developments in renewable energy technology.

Advancements in solar power

  • Increased efficiency: Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels have witnessed significant improvements in efficiency, enabling higher energy production from smaller and more cost-effective installations.
  • Energy storage integration: The integration of energy storage solutions, such as batteries, allows solar power systems to store excess energy for use during periods of low sunlight, ensuring a continuous power supply.
  • Building-integrated solutions: Innovations in solar technology now include building-integrated PV systems, such as solar roof tiles and solar windows, blending seamlessly with architectural designs.

Innovations in wind energy

  • Advanced control systems optimises wind farm operations, allowing for real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and efficient power generation.

Emerging technologies in energy storage

  • Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS): BESS plays a crucial role in balancing the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources. Advancements in BESS technology include increased energy density, longer lifespan, and improved efficiency. Read our blog The growth of BESS sites: What do you need to know?
  • Power-to-gas solutions: Power-to-gas technologies convert surplus renewable energy into hydrogen or methane, which can be stored and used as a carbon-neutral fuel for various applications.

The role of grid modernisation

  • Smart grids: Modernising power grids with advanced digital communication and control systems enhances grid flexibility and integration of renewable energy sources.
  • Grid-interactive buildings: Buildings equipped with smart technologies can actively participate in grid operations by adjusting energy consumption based on grid conditions, optimising energy usage, and providing grid support services.
