Reunion Island, like most insular regions, is ruled by a carbon economy which is heavily dependent on oil, imported by sea. But in recent years, the energy transition has become the watchword of these non-interconnected areas. This results into an increasing implementation of renewable energy sources (RES) in these regions. In 2012, this island of the southwest Indian Ocean had a renewable electricity production
Reuniwatt will participate to the European Geosciences Union's (EGU) General Assembly, where it will disseminate diverse aspects of its work on solar irradiance measurement and forecasting to the scientific community. The EGU General Assembly, which takes place in Vienna, Austria, from April 17.-22, brings together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary and space sciences.
For the second year in a row, Reuniwatt will be at E-World Energy & Water. This major energy trade fair will take place in Essen, Germany, from 16 - 18 February. Our representatives will present our new products, including dedicated solar energy forecasting tools for energy trading. Indeed, the increasing volumes of renewable energy sources traded on the spot market lead to new challenges for energy
Solar forecasts for energy trading have become vital, in particular with the arrival of direct marketing in France, and the gradual withdrawal of feed-in tariffs across Europe. The number of solar installations connected to electrical grids keeps on increasing around the world. A recent report from the American group Mercom Capital forecasts nearly 65GW of global solar installations for 2016. A growing injection of intermittent
