SOLAR PV

The sun’s irradiation hitting the Earth in one hour could satisfy the entire world energy demand for a year. Solar photovoltaics is one of the cheapest and fastest growing forms of electricity generation worldwide, therefore it is considered as one of the main technologies to meet renewable energy targets.

A solar PV plant is a system that uses solar irradiation to generate electricity via the photovoltaic effect. Once transformed into alternating current, via an inverter, it can be used to power electrical applications or fed and sold into the grid.

The photovoltaic system consists of small photovoltaic cells which form a photovoltaic module. The joining of several modules forms the photovoltaic system.

WIND

Wind energy harnesses the kinetic power of the wind to first generate mechanical energy, which is subsequently converted into electricity.

The feasibility of wind technology is closely linked to the geographical features of the location, including the terrain geomorphology, and to the wind presence in a certain area. This technology can be placed on-shore or off-shore.

BESS

By increasing the electricity produced through the use of renewable energies, and therefore non-programmable sources, it’s necessary to have a system that can balance and stabilise the grid and store and release electricity during the day, especially when renewables sources generation exceeds the demand or is not enough to meet the demand.

BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) are storage systems that use batteries to store energy and then release it as required.
A BESS can be placed stand-alone, so directly connected to the grid, or coupled with a renewable sources, such as a PV plant.
