Solar-powered car fair

0 Solar powered car fairSantiago hosted the first ever solar-powered car fair ahead of the Atacama Solar Challenge.

Participant Gonzalo Pacheco saying: “Solar energy is an alternative. Obviously, the cost of the car is pretty high, but the niche is growing and there are investigations and everything so that in the future it can be used in a more efficient way.”

Minister of Energy and mining, Laurence Golborne saying: “Those who today participate in this fair, who today step up to this challenge, who– like the provost said– are learning today in the race to get a better vehicle, they are the people who will be the leaders that the country needs in development of renewable energy sources for the future.”

The Combined Power Plant – 100% from renewable energy

2 The Combined Power Plant   100% from renewable energyhttp://www.unendlich-viel-energie.de
The secure and constant provision of power anywhere and at anytime by renewable energies is now made possible thanks to the Combined Power Plant. The Combined Power Plant links and controls 36 wind, solar, biomass and hydropower installations spread throughout Germany. It is just as reliable and powerful as a conventional large-scale power station.

The Combined Renewable Energy Power Plant shows how, through joint control of small and decentralised plants, it is possible to provide reliable electricity in accordance with needs. The Combined Power Plant optimally combines the advantages of various renewable energy sources. Wind turbines and solar modules help generate electricity in accordance with how much wind and sun is available. Biogas and hydropower are used to make up the difference: they are converted into electricity as needed in order to balance out short-term fluctuations, or are temporarily stored. Technically, there is nothing preventing us from 100 per cent provision with renewables.

The Combined Power Plant is an initiative of the companies Enercon GmbH, Schmack Biogas AG and SolarWorld AG, and is supported by many partners from the renewable energy sector.
