Europe’s energy system is undergoing a rapid transformation, giving rise to new applications that are increasingly combining different climate-friendly technologies.

The energy transition has made the European energy supply cheaper and more secure. However, the market value of solar and wind power is under increasing pressure from low electricity prices, complicating financing. 

  The Dream Team: Hybrid Wind and Solar Power Plants Gain Market Share

The industry has an effective solution for this: hybrid power plants. They combine photovoltaics (PV) with wind and sometimes even a battery energy storage system (BESS). This combination offers several advantages, including higher energy yields and capacity due to complimentary generation profiles, stable generation, and efficient use of infrastructure, space and grid connection points. With BESS installed, renewable electricity can be fed into the grid according to price, consumption and grid signals.  Hybrid power plants will be a hot topic at Intersolar Europe. The world’s leading exhibition for the solar industry will take place from June 23–25, 2026, as part of The smarter E Europe at the Messe München.

GE approves the use of the nacelle-based Lidar ‘ZX TM’ for Power Performance TestingIn anticipation of the release of IEC 61400-50-3, Use of nacelle-mounted lidars for wind measurements, and now in response to this new standard, GE Renewable Energy has approved the specific Lidar – ZX TM – from ZX Lidars, to measure the power curve of GE onshore wind turbines so they may be verified as a function of the Hub Height wind speed. In addition to hub height measurements specifically used for Power Performance Tests, operational rotor equivalent power curves can uniquely also be measured with ZX TM’s unique 50 points around the full rotor swept area, providing full veer and shear information. These measurements help to inform operational strategies relating to turbine performance outside of warranted conditions and may be particularly important for turbines with larger rotor diameters offshore and on sites with complex veer or shear profiles onshore.
