CLOUD-BASED MONITORING TOOL
NRG Systems has launched NRG Cloud, a platform for remotely monitoring its measurement solutions. In addition to improving users’ access to its fleet of operational wind and solar resource systems, NRG Cloud features a suite of data management services to simplify data retrieval and streamline storage workflows. NRG Systems currently
offers the NRG Cloud Standard Connect Package free of charge. Membership is geared towards customers who use NRG’s SymphoniePRO data loggers as part of their pre- and post-construction wind and solar measurement campaigns. The Standard Connect Package supports multi-user access to sites and delivers a range of tools to easily upload, store and download site data.
Innovative renewable energy solution
Storengy Deutschland, in collaboration with Engie Laborelec, has been selected for the European Union’s Innovation Fund programme for small-scale projects for its innovative renewable energy solution. The Aquilon project is an integrated solution that combines wind energy, solar energy and redox flow battery storage at the Peckensen natural gas storage facility. The idea behind the project is as
follows: instead of using conventional wind turbines, energy is generated using an efficient, innovative and safe kite, also called Airborne Wind Energy (AWE). This will enable the
Power flow project extension
National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) is expanding the use of transformational power flow control technology – building on the successful installations of the world’s first large scale use of the technology on its UK network earlier this year. By using modular power flow
control technology, NGET can remove
bottlenecks and unlock unused capacity on the existing network. NGET has already installed 48 SmartValves across five circuits at three of its substations in the North of England, creating 1.5GW of extra capacity. With the increasing volume of
renewable generation seeking to connect to the network, NGET sees a pressing need for even more capacity in 2022. By scaling up the initial SmartValve deployments near Harker and Penwortham, NGET can unlock extra capacity on the existing circuits, and ultimately transfer more renewable power to its customers in a timely and cost-effective way..

storage facility’s electricity needs to be partially met by renewable energy in future. “A kite can harness the wind at much higher altitudes than a conventional turbine. In the higher layers of the air, the wind force tends to be stronger and more constant, meaning that more renewable electricity can be generated,” says Christophe Merlo at Storengy Deutschland.
ACCELERATING OFFSHORE WIND
A new Celtic Sea Cluster will accelerate offshore wind, creating more than 29,000 UK jobs and delivering £43.6bn in UK gross value add by 2050 and boosting industry in Wales and the South West. The Celtic Sea Cluster aims
to accelerate floating wind, responding to the growing number of project developers keen to harness the power of the Celtic Sea. It will work to tackle barriers to the pace of development, identify key enabling infrastructure, and provide support for the emerging supply chain. The Cluster represents a significant step forward in unlocking potentially 150GW of offshore wind in the UK by 2050.
