Documents published on the ECU website yesterday show that an application for a Bess with an installed output up to 200 MW from Zenobē Energy has been approved. Image: Zenobe’s Operational Blackhillock Bess. Two raster scale battery energy systems (BESS) are approved for construction in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. Apatura announced that its 50 MW/100MWH Bess near Oost -Kilbride was approved by the Scottish Energy Compests Unit (ECU), which has protected the ninth Bess development in the last 16 months. The 5.5 hectare site was mainly selected because of the proximity of the Oostkilbride under station. It will consist of 16…

Scientists in Spain have simulated a system that uses both Power-to-Hit-to-Power Thermal batteries and lithium ion batteries for energy storage. The hybrid system is said to have reached a 7% lower LCOE compared to a PV system that depends exclusively on lithium batteries, while at the same time the PV self-consumption increased by a maximum of 20%. April 30, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from the Spain’s Technical University of Madrid have designed a hybrid system that combines PV, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, power-to-heat-to-Power thermal batteries (PHPs) and heat pumps. “The high capital costs per unit of energy storage of Li-ion batteries…

Greenpowermonitor (GPM), a DNV company, has introduced considerable progress in the solutions for energy management, designed to meet important challenges in renewable integration; These innovations support the transition from peak power from fossil driven to hybrid plants, while providing grid stability. The updates include: Hybrid energy management system (Hems), which makes seamless coordination between PV and battery storage possible, optimizing the internal current current for efficiency, cost effectiveness and compliance with the grid. Improved energy management system (EMS), improving the storage performance of the battery by optimizing the energy shipping, extending the lifespan of the assets and maintaining the reliability…

Colombia is approaching 2 GW cumulative installed PV capacity, with 1.34 GW currently operational and another 700 MW in tests, according to the raster operator of the country. April 30, 2025 Luis Ini Image: Alexander Gutierrez, Unsplash By PV Magazine Latam Colombia had 1.35 GW operational PV capacity and 699.4 MW in tests at the end of March 2025, which brought the total installed PV capacity of the country to 2.05 GW, according to data from XM Colombia, operator of the National Interconnected System (SIN). The national interconnected system (SIN) added 16 new electricity generation projects in the first quarter…

The Australian battery designer and manufacturer Powerplus Energy has unveiled a new all-in-one energy storage solution with a single phase of 7 kW-Omsoler and a stackable battery of 13.4 kWh. April 30, 2025 David Carroll By PV Magazine Australia Powerplus Energy said the Whisper-7 is a smart hybrid battery system with a 7 kW sun battery inverter and 13.4 kWh of battery storage, specially built for Australian houses. The Whispr-7 uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery and has cell packages from the Chinese manufacturer Catl. It has a nominal DC voltage of 409.6 V, ranging from 320 V to 460.8…

The Japanese company said that its new vertical mounting system is ideal for agricultural land, regions with heavy snowfall, past factory fences and in parking spaces. April 30, 2025 Emiliano Bellini The Japanese sun company Takamiya has launched a vertical mounting system for PV applications. “The HV system can be used in Agricultural land, regions with heavy snowfall, past factory gates and parking spaces, “the company said in a statement and noted that the new product is particularly suitable for areas with little space. “By combining a vertical installation with bifacial panels, it is possible to achieve a very efficient…

The Indian solar manufacturer has launched its hypersol series -panel series with a capacity of 605 W to 630 W and efficiency between 22.38% and 23.30%. April 29, 2025 Uma Gupta By PV Magazine India Vikram Solar LTD has launched a new N-type Bifacial Solar Module series for applications on C&I and Utility scale. “The modules are designed with recyclable materials and meet international standards, including IEC, UL and BIS, which ensure reliability and compliance with global markets,” the company said in a statement. The Hypersol modules have a capacity of 605 W to 630 W and a power conversion…

The huge blackout that grabbed the Iberian peninsula on 28 April has a similar event in an Australian state in 2016. The solution seems to be the same in both cases. April 29, 2025 Jonathan Gifford Image: Pedro Miguel Aires, Unsplash By ESS News Although the series of events that lead to the paralyzing blackout that affects Spain on 28 April still has to be analyzed, the disastrous failure of the energy system has the characteristics of a similar disaster that an Australian state in the middle of the years 2010. And although much smaller in scope, the Black -out…

Spanish energy expert Antonio Delgado Rigal tells PV -Magazine That although the exact cause of yesterday’s national Black -out in Spain remains unclear, preliminary signs indicate raster instability caused by system failure. April 29, 2025 Emiliano Bellini A widespread power outage on 28 April left millions without electricity in Spain, Portugal, Andorra and parts of South France, disturbing critical infrastructure, stopping public transport and the breaking of communication. The black -out started at 12:33 pm (CEST), but the cause of it is still unclear. “During the malfunction, all the nuclear power stations of Spain and combined cycle gas factories stopped…
