Hydrogen and other fuels are expected to play a key role as energy carrier for the transport sector and as energy buffer for the integration of large amounts of renewable energy into the grid. Therefore the development of carbon lean technologies producing hydrogen at reasonable price from...

Solar-powered thermo-chemical cycles are capable to directly transfer concentrated sunlight into chemical energy by a series of chemical and electro-chemical reactions, and of these cycles, thehybrid-sulphur (HyS) cycle was identified as the most promising one. The project focus was on...

To address the challenges of solar energy capture and storage in the form of a chemical fuel, we will develop a hybrid photoelectrochemical-photovoltaic (PEC-PV) tandem device for light-driven water splitting. This concept is based on a visible light-absorbing metal oxide photoelectrode, which...

This technical report aims to investigate the upper limit of single phase (1Φ) PV power connection (kWp) the low voltage (LV) electricity distribution system and the single phase (1Φ) contracted power (kVA) levels in member states of the EU. One of the key goals during the process of writing...

EMHIRES is the first publically available European solar power generation dataset derived from meteorological sources that is available at country, bidding zone, NUTS-1 and NUTS-2 level. It was generated applying using the validated and robust PVGIS model to estimate the solar electricity...

The rate of growth of the worldwide photovoltaic solar energy market in recent years (30% per year) can be compared only with the growth in some sectors of informatics and mobile communications. The presentations contained in these Proceedings address the recent developments and research efforts...
