This stored energy is then available as backup whenever there is an insufficient supply of solar and wind power. Three different demonstration sites—Falkenhagen, Troia (Italy), and Solothurn (Switzerland) offer highly diverse testing grounds for PtG: Available energy sources (high wind power; PV and hydro; PV and wind power).

Is Europe’s Nuclear Phaseout Starting to Phase Out?

Cars That Think

Switzerland is doing the same , albeit with a hazy timetable. Scientists from the EU Joint Research Centre agreed, reporting that nuclear power doesn’t cause undue environmental harm, despite the need to store nuclear waste. The obvious answer might be solar and wind. Spain plans to start phasing out in 2027.

The first leg from Sindelfingen to the north-eastern border of Switzerland runs along Autobahn 81. The VISION EQXX solar roof’s 117 solar cells feed the 12-volt battery, which supplies power to auxiliary consumers such as the navigation system. With its low cd value of 0.17, it gives the wind virtually nothing to grab hold of.
