Climate Tech Trends: Technologies for a Sustainable Future

Posted on by tomasz

Climate Tech refers to modern technologies that aid in combating climate change. Among these are alternative energy systems, which are essential for a sustainable future.

Alternative energy encompasses various technologies, such as the solar farm construction or wind farms construction. These power plants use renewable energy sources like the sun and wind to generate electricity. Thanks to them, we can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and contribute to environmental protection.

Climate Tech

Remember, Climate Tech technologies are our future. With their help, we can create a world that is sustainable and safe for future generations.

Climate Tech Trends

Climate Tech technologies in the power industry also cover a wide range of innovations aimed at combating climate change. The future of the power sector looks promising, focusing on creating more sustainable and efficient energy systems. Below are some key trends.

Accelerating the Development of Renewable Energy Systems

As technologies become more advanced, renewable energy sources like solar and wind power are becoming more efficient and accessible.

Phasing Out Fossil Fuels

As the world strives to reach net-zero emissions, fossil fuels are gradually being phased out in favor of cleaner energy sources.

Expanding the Power Grid

To meet the growing demand for energy, power grids must be expanded and modernized.

Decarbonizing Industry

Industry is one of the main sources of carbon dioxide emissions, so decarbonization is crucial to achieving climate goals.

Power Electronics

Power electronics play a key role in converting voltages and currents from one level to another, which is essential for the efficient use of energy.

Engineering Innovations

Breakthrough engineering discoveries, such as perovskite solar cells, solid-state batteries, nuclear energy, and smart grids, are shaping the future of the energy sector.

All these trends aim to create a more sustainable and efficient future for the power industry.

Construction of Energy Sources: Investments in the Future of Power Engineering

Posted on by tomasz

In today’s world, as climate change becomes increasingly visible, investments in renewable energy sources are crucial for the future of power engineering. Alternative energy systems such as wind farms and photovoltaics, along with climate technologies and the construction of new energy sources, form the foundation for future investments in power engineering.

Alternative Energy Systems

Wind farms and photovoltaic farms are the two most popular types of alternative energy systems.

Wind power plants

Wind farms harness the power of the wind to generate electrical energy. In Poland, one of the largest wind farms in Europe can be found – the Wind Park in Potęgowo, consisting of 81 turbines with a total capacity of 219 MW. This facility helps reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 514,000 tons annually.

Solar power plants

On the other hand, photovoltaic farms use solar energy to produce electricity. In our country, we can boast one of the largest solar power plants in Europe, located in Przykona, Wielkopolska. It is the second-largest photovoltaic farm in Poland, comprising 380,000 PV panels with the potential to produce 220 GWh of electrical energy annually, enough to power over 100,000 households.

Climate Technologies

Climate technologies are innovative solutions that aid in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing energy efficiency. One example is the cable pooling solution, designed to facilitate the development of large photovoltaic farms, secured by connections for installations such as wind turbines. Another example is smart grid technology, which enables better management of the power grid through the use of intelligent monitoring and control systems.

Construction of Energy Sources

The construction of renewable energy sources requires careful planning and design. The first step is selecting the appropriate location to ensure optimal energy source efficiency. Next, the installation must be designed to meet technical and safety requirements.

Conclusion

Investments in renewable energy sources are pivotal for the future of power engineering. Alternative energy systems, like wind and photovoltaic farms, as well as climate technologies, such as cable pooling and smart grids, offer innovative solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase energy efficiency. The construction of renewable energy sources demands proper planning, design, and support from the government.

The largest photovoltaic power plant in Europe, built by EDP Renewables and constructed by Electrum, is located in the Greater Poland Voivodeship.

Nearly 308,000 double-sided photovoltaic panels will generate enough energy to power over 100,000 households annually. The Przykona photovoltaic farm will be the second-largest installation of its kind in Poland, but with the potential to increase its capacity by an additional 40 MW, it has the potential to become one of the largest photovoltaic power plants in Central and Eastern Europe.

Solar farm construction lasted for over a year, with nearly 500 people working on the construction site during peak periods. The project has a total installed capacity of 200 MWp and will generate approximately 220 GWh annually, thus avoiding the use of traditional fossil fuels to produce the same amount of energy.

The Przykona Power Plant will also prevent the emission of over 208,000 tons of CO2 annually. It was installed on the site of a rehabilitated brown coal mine and covers an area of 270 hectares, equivalent to 375 soccer fields. This new photovoltaic power plant in the Przykona municipality represents a significant step in the development of renewable energy in Poland. The project, created in collaboration with EDP Renewables, is an excellent example of effective energy infrastructure implementation.

During the project, we made every effort to propose optimal and modern solutions to our partner, which will allow for the full utilization of the facility’s potential during its operational phase and add value to the investment. The Przykona PV photovoltaic farm is not the first project that Electrum has completed for EDP Renewables, and we hope it won’t be the last. We feel that in EDP Renewables, we have found a partner who shares our vision of a sustainable future and takes concrete actions towards building a green energy system – says Tomasz Taff from the Electrum Group.

The Przykona PV solar farm is another milestone in our collaboration with EDP Renewables, demonstrating our commitment to building a sustainable energy future.”
