I am pleased to announce that our conference paper titled “Optimal Integration of Renewable Sources in Low-Cost Microgrid Design for Rural Communities” has been accepted for presentation at the 7th International Conference on Engineering and Applied Natural Sciences (ICEANS 2025), to be held on October 25–26, 2025, in Konya, Turkey. Co-authored with Dr. Abdulkadir Gözuoğlu, this research presents a full-year Python-based simulation and optimization framework analyzing hybrid microgrid architectures that integrate solar, wind, and battery storage systems for rural electrification. Our findings demonstrate how strategically optimized hybrid configurations can achieve over 95% renewable penetration while significantly reducing diesel dependency, making them a sustainable and economically viable solution for off-grid communities in developing regions. I am honored to contribute to the advancement of renewable energy systems and rural energy access research at such a prestigious international platform. 🔗 Paper Access: http://bit.ly/4nl1JOd #ICEANS2025 #Microgrid #RenewableEnergy #HybridEnergySystems #SmartGrids #RuralElectrification #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #Research

We’re excited to share that Solarthermalworld has published an article about the roundtable discussion at the “Research on Solar Heat for Industrial Processes in the Nordics” workshop, held earlier this September at the DTU - Technical University of Denmark. The event, organized by MG Sustainable Engineering in collaboration with DTU - Technical University of Denmark, brought together international experts to discuss the challenges and opportunities in industrial heat decarbonization, covering key topics such as electrification and standardization in solar process heat projects. Contributions came from Jianhua Fan (DTU) Joakim Byström (CEO, Absolicon Solar Collector AB) and Miguel Herrador Moreno (R&D and Spain Office Manager, Aalborg CSP A/S), with the panel moderated by Juan Pablo Santana González (MG Sustainable Engineering / University of Gävle). 📖 Read the full article here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dcqaMjYP #SolarThermalEnergy #Decarbonization #IndustrialHeat #Innovation #Research #SolarHeat #SustainableEngineering #DTU #changingenergy

Fraunhofer ISE Sets New Benchmark in Bifacial Solar Efficiency. Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) has achieved 23.8% efficiency in its bifacial TOPCon silicon solar cell — marking another milestone in PV innovation.

A brief insight from Hendrik Schaede-Bodenschatz and Axel Klemm on this week's event, “Intelligent Energy Management and Grid Integration of Renewable Energies in Portuguese Cities”, in Lisbon. Over 80 representatives from the Portuguese energy industry were in the audience. The main focus was on grid stability and energy supply in light of the experiences of the “Iberian Blackout” in April 2025. We learned that there will be significant investment in grid security and stability in the coming years. Our technology will make a decisive contribution to this. Many thanks to Paulo Carmona, Director-General for Energy and Geology in Portugal, and to all the other speakers for their interesting insights and perspectives.
