14.15 Energy storages for small PV applications

Walter Commerell, University of Applied Sciences, Ulm, Germany Photovoltaic Solar Energy became one of the cheapest sources of

electric energy in the last decade. The electric energy coming out of the modules can reach prices in the same range as electric power

from coal power stations and even lower cost than stations fired with

natural gas or oil. Beside that it can help us to prevent us from the negative results of global warming effected by traditional fossil fuels. Solar energy is proven for energy production since photosynthesis was invented by nature about 3 Billion years ago. Solar energy be-came the natural and sustainable energy supply for the evolution on earth.

However, it would be wrong to see Photovoltaic just a 1:1 substitute for those traditional sources. Photovoltaic has disadvantages and advantages compared to the traditional sources. One of the weak

points is that solar energy is fluctuating over the year the month and

even the day. This means that we have to store the generated energy itself or we have to transfer the storage function into the load which provide the requested energy service. In many cases it is necessary to reinvent the application to make photovoltaic successful. Fossil fuels and it applications had more than 100 years of time for this application process. We will have to be faster with solar energy. Ne-vertheless it is very important to give our new clean energy source a fair chance for this adaption process.

Solar energy and photovoltaic also give us new chances. It can pro-vide wireless power wherever we have light as a primary source of energy available. Photovoltaic solar energy can help to provide elec-tricity to those people who are not connected to the utility grid. This will improve their lives in many circumstances such as health, edu-cation and nutrition. New appliedu-cations are possible and can provide services, improvements and innovations we did not even think of. Small PV applications are covering big part of this new philosophy in energy supply.

The next conference will be for first time in Munich in closer corre -lation with Intersolar. This give our conference the chance to be also the most important event for Off-grid solar applications.

The chairmen of this conference invite warmly all stakeholders in in-dustry and academia as well as other part of the society to exchange experiences and opinions to make the necessary leap to more solar energy and to a sustainable energy supply.

OTTI (Ostbayerisches Technologie-Transfer Institut e.V.) was founded in 1977 as a non-profi t-organisation. Our main goals are to provide state-of-the-art infor-mation and to establish networks between people from industry, science, and administration by providing conferences and workshops. Over the years we have expanded our offers, now reaching from specifi c technology areas like material sciences to management training. Our energy department is one of the leading European organisers of international conferences and seminars in the fi eld of renewable energies. The goal is to provide events where our international par-ticipants from science and industry can share their knowledge and experience, and present new technologies designed to increase the effi cient use of renew-able energies. We work closely together with our scientifi c committee repre-senting experts from industry and research from all over the world. Our highly motivated and experienced team is always looking for new topics to provide in-teresting conferences on visionary topics. The topics of our conferences com-prise mini-grids, smart grids and mobility, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar air-conditioning and biomass energy. Furthermore, we offer courses in the fi elds of building, construction and the effi cient use of energy.

Besides lectures and workshops OTTI offers accompanying trade exhibitions or technical tours. It is very important for us to create an atmosphere in which our participants can meet and share their knowledge and experience. Therefore, we offer long breaks and common meals to get into contact with other people. Do you have any questions? Our team is always willing to help you. Please fi nd all relevant contact information on www.otti.eu. There you can also fi nd more details about our conferences.
