HOW TO MAXIMIZE ENERGY YIELD WITH BIFACIAL TECHNOLOGY

May 16, 2018

Bifacial solar modules use direct and reflective sunlight to produce energy from the front and rear surfaces of the module. As a result, they achieve a higher yield. Until now, bifacial technology, which was developed in the 1970s, has had only a small market share due to high production costs. In September 2015, the Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin (ISFH) and SolarWorld AG presented an innovative industrial manufacturing process for the economically viable bifacial cell and module applied science.

Achieving carbon-neutral IT systems with Kubernetes,Operator, and Rust

whitePaper | January 12, 2023

To address climate change, countries around the world have set a goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. This presents a challenge for the IT industry, because with the dizzying progress of the information society, power consumption of data centers is expected to increase around 850 times by 2050. As a result of these targets, the index of CO2 emission has begun to be adopted as an evaluation point of IT systems.

Positive Proof for Distributed Intelligence at the Grid Edge

whitePaper | October 14, 2022

The utility industry struggles to store and analyze the ocean of data recorded by state-of-the-art distribution devices. Performing some analytics locally—within the devices themselves—promises to unlock new operational value and cost effectiveness, and the first phases of testing needed to prove that theory are now complete. Laboratory investigations showed distributed intelligence (DI) applications far surpassed the capabilities of cloud-based analytics for three common use cases on the distribution grid; and field testing confirmed the results across thousands of customer meters, while also revealing other valuable, real-world applications for the data.
