[Webinar] No Clouds on the Horizon: The Future Looks Bright for FSOC In the last decade free space optical communications (FSOC), also called laser communications, has evolved from a niche to a mature technology. Recent successes have pushed this technology forward, with the aim of providing global broadband coverage. However, FSOC still faces two major challenges to providing similar performance to terrestrial "backbone
Reuniwatt provides Sunology with weather data for its STREAM app for the real-time monitoring of solar production: Sunology, the French leader in residential solar systems that require no complicated work or assembly, has selected Reuniwatt, the market leader for estimating and forecasting solar irradiance, for a collaboration. Supporting residential solar power producers STREAM is Sunology's brand new mobile application. It helps residential solar plant
Building on the decades-long legacy of Meteosat’s first- and second-generation satellites, Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) will orbit the Earth at an altitude of 36,000 km with a stable view of Europe and Africa. It's launch offers multiple opportunities outside the space sector. MTG satellite system features and improvements EUMETSAT has provided society with more than three decades worth of satellite data, starting with the
Weather and environmental parameters are key factors affecting PV performance. Over the years, the accuracy of the yield prediction has increased. Still, the fundamental question remains when considering development of a new solar plant: how much energy will it generate? Many parameters are subject to tough discussions between a project’s different stakeholders. One of them is future performance, and the question regarding solar resource
The DYVALOCCA project is a collaboration between French, German and Gabonese partners. Reuniwatt's Sky InSight (infrared all-sky imager) was used during a field campaign to monitor the evolution of clouds and evaluate their effects on water and light availability in a forest along the Atlantic coast of Central Africa. Low clouds are key components of climate. However, they are rarely well represented in weather
[Webinar Series] Renewable hybrid energy solutions: Decarbonising mines, cost reduction and energy security The mining industry faces a complex challenge: how to provide the essential resources the modern global economy needs while reducing its own environmental impact. The integration of renewables and energy storage into its power system offers a number of opportunities for mines: making production more sustainable and reducing costs, while

Condensation trails – so-called contrails – are artificial clouds composed of water, soot, and cool air behind jet aircraft in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. These non-CO₂ emissions are responsible for a large share of aviation’s impact on climate change. A French-German research project is now aiming to observe and forecast their impact. Contrails have been an object of research in the past
In this article, Amandine Martins of Reuniwatt, Bruno Daugrois of Naldeo Technlogies & Industries and Amélie Belfort of Synergîle detail the interest of PV + storage with forecasting for the french overseas territories, with the exemple of a 986 kWp photovoltaic power plant installed on the roof of a supermarket on Reunion Island and coupled with a lithium-ion battery with a storage capacity of 1200
[Webinar] Wireless Laser Communication: Don't let clouds get in the way of success! Connecting the world and beyond on a beam of light – wireless laser communication is a cost-efficient way to transmit information through the atmosphere: Easy to install and relocate, it can provide a secure transmission of information. The systems also allow for space-to-ground connections, such as Airbus' SpaceDataHighway™ (SDH),
