Researchers at Germany's Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) and Japan's Gifu University are collaborating on a slew of energy projects as part of concerted efforts to accelerate technology transfer and help reshape the energy landscape of both countries. Joint projects will focus on the intelligent integration of PV into the grid, production forecasts and green power-to-gas energy storage. The ZSW said the new partnership was built on solid ground: Both institutes conduct research in the same fields and their skill-sets are a good match. Gifu Prefecture, on Japan's main island of Honshu, and the German state of Baden-Württemberg have long nurtured political and economic ties and they are now extending the relationship into energy research, where the two countries have much to learn from each other, according to the ZSW. ZSW Managing Director Frithjof Staiss said the collaboration made it easier to share experience and create better conditions "for an efficient ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
