➀ The Fraunhofer ICT in Pfinztal researches renewable energy power generation. The campus is powered by wind turbines and photovoltaic systems. After six years, the institute presents a positive balance and outlines future expansion plans. ➁ A 2-MW wind turbine and a 6 MWh redox-flow battery have been in operation since mid-2018. A 690 kWp photovoltaic system was added in summer 2023. ➂ The combination of wind, solar energy, and large-scale batteries provides insights for micro-grid design and operation. The research aims to reduce costs and ensure technical safety and resilience for a cost-effective and secure energy transition.

➀ Omron has launched a single-pole PCB relay that can break 150A and handle 800V; ➁ The G7EB-A1-E2 relay has a footprint of 36.7 x 50mm and is 40.2mm tall; ➂ The relay is suitable for up to 100kW at three-phase 400Vac and 200kW at three-phase 800Vac.

➀ The Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin's (HZB) real laboratory has reached the milestone of 100 megawatt-hours of solar power generation from its photovoltaic facade. ➁ This amount of electricity is equivalent to providing clean energy to a four-person household in Germany for 30 years. ➂ The HZB is using this research to study the performance and environmental impact of solar facades.
