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.

The Front Cover

Floating lidar systems have revolutionised the offshore wind industry by enabling the bankability of projects at a fraction of the original cost – successful wind resource assessment campaigns are essential for the economic viability of the wind farm development process. However, one parameter measured in such campaigns – turbulence intensity – is at the centre of debate. At page 6 you can read more about this topic. The image on the cover shows the EOL-FLS200 deployed at the TNO offshore fixed-reference verification site. (https://offshorewind-measurements.tno.nl/en/fls/)
