ShutterstockDer Bericht der World Energy Investment (WEI) der Internationalen Energieagentur IEA verfolgt die Investitionstrends im gesamten globalen Energiesektor. Er stellt Daten und Analysen für ein besseres Verständnis der Investitionsrisiken bereit und ermöglicht so einen hypothetischen Ausblick auf die Energiezukunft. Der diesjährige Bericht zeigt, dass sich die globalen Energieinvestitionen nach drei Jahren des Rückgangs stabilisiert haben. Das ist nicht unbedingt eine positive Entwicklung. Weiterlesen

BFEThe ReFlex project aims at developing a replicability guideline for the deployment of technologically feasible, market based and user-friendly solutions for smart grids with a high level of flexibility. The focus was put on smart grid pilot projects with high level of renewable energy production, which are effectively and efficiently used locally through mixes of measures from voltage regulation, demand response, energy management and storage. Drawing on the learning experience among ReFlex partners, replicability-guidelines were elaborated to support the demo regions and the wider group of European smart grid stakeholders in deploying and advancing their smart grid initiatives. The project released the ReFlex Guidebook, a document that includes guidelines for the replicability of solutions for flexible smart grids. Weiterlesen
Des chercheurs de l’EPFL ont réalisé un transformateur de moyenne fréquence compact et efficace. Il devrait permettre d’améliorer la flexibilité et l’efficacité des réseaux électriques intelligents de demain, ainsi que celle des réseaux de distribution DC. Weiterlesen
The Swiss company Insolight is taking a whole new approach to creating high-efficiency solar modules for the rooftop market. Its patented optical system concentrates light onto an array of tiny spacegrade multi-junction photovoltaic cells. While today’s rooftop standard modules typically show an efficiency of 17-19%, Insolight’s pre-production module has been validated at an impressive 29% by the Universidad Politécinica de Madrid (IES-UPM), two years after a first record on a lab prototype. The company based at the EPFL Innovation Park has taken a decisive step towards industrialization with its first pre-production full-size series, cost-effective and compatible with existing assembly equipment.
Cette année, l’Office fédéral de l’énergie remet à nouveau début janvier le Watt d’Or pour des performances énergétiques remarquables. Pour cette douzième édition, cinq prix sont remis à des projets innovants permettant de faire évoluer le monde de l’énergie en Suisse. Voici une courte présentation des projets titrés pour 2019 par le jury:
The 2nd China-Switzerland Energy Working Group took place in Beijing, Hangzhou and Yichang end of November 2018. The event built on the successful 1st Meeting which was held in Switzerland in October 2017. The Working Group has its foundation in a Memorandum of Understanding for energy cooperation signed during President Xi Jinping’s visit to Switzerland in January 2017.
