One advantage of e-mobility is that users can charge their vehicles conveniently at home. Smart solutions coordinate electric vehicle charging with the requirements of other generators and loads in the household. The smart SMA Charge S charging solution combined with the Audi e-tron connect charging system now integrates the all-electric SUV Audi e-tron into the domestic energy management system. If the home is equipped with a PV system, SMA Charge S even prioritizes solar power for charging the vehicle.

Weather-reliant generators such as large-scale solar and wind farms would be prevented from turning down or off without informing the market operator under a draft rule to boost system security.

The launch of this new solution packaged is focused on affordability and ease of use initiates mass of new customers into the microgrids and energy management markets.

The Covid-19 pandemic hit Australia’s already declining oil and gas workforce hard, causing a loss of over 28,000 jobs this year, equivalent to a quarter of the country’s total count, a Rystad Energy analysis reveals. Some of these jobs will be restored from 2021 onwards, but Australia’s oil and gas workforce will struggle to recover pre-pandemic levels for at least five years – if ever, as the energy transition increasingly alters the global energy mix.

Fronius relies on quality and is known for providing the best service on the market. Start-up, monitoring and after-sales support have also been completely reinvented with the latest generation of inverters. This has resulted in three useful apps for installers, service technicians and end customers.
