Alternative sources of electricity are renewable energy sources that exist permanently or arise periodically in the environment. They include the energy of the sun, wind, seas, rivers, biomass, the Earth's heat, and secondary energy resources.
Solar energy is one of the most promising alternative sources of electricity in Ukraine. Our country has significant solar energy resources and favorable conditions for the development of solar energy.
According to the State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine, as of the end of 2022, solar power plants (SPPs) with a total capacity of 6320 MW (excluding the temporarily occupied territories) were installed in Ukraine. This is about 6% of the total installed capacity of power generating facilities in Ukraine.
What is energy storage?
Energy storage allows buildings to lower their demand from the grid during peak times. It helps keep prices low by allowing distributors to purchase electricity during off-peak times and then sell it when demand spikes. Energy storage also provides resilience because it serves as a backup supply of energy if power generation is interrupted.
What are the different methods of energy storage?
There are many ways of storing energy, including: pumped-storage hydropower, batteries, hydrogen fuel cells, and electric vehicles.
The Energy Management System (EMS) to optimize the energy performance of companies and communities.
UnpublishedIn an ever-changing economic context, optimizing energy consumption management is an essential criterion for companies and communities. Whether for companies or communities, the trend is to increase productivity combined with a reduction in energy costs while helping to reduce the carbon footprint. Not always an obvious combination. The IoT responds to the challenges of this apparent dichotomy by proposing the installation of an Energy Management System (EMS). The EMS is so special that it could be compared to the energetic brain of the organism in which it is installed. The dual purpose of this assembly of systems is to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs for companies and communities. The implementation of the tools of theSmart Energytools will enable the management of these energies and thus optimize energy efficiency.
