Renewable Energy Policies in the European Union: Germany Example, Legal Regulations and Alternative Energy Sources

Suleyman Nisanoglu 10. March 2025

Global climate change and energy security are critical issues shaping modern energy policies. Following the Kigali Amendment, Germany and the European Union have intensified legal regulations and incentives to promote renewable energy. This study explores the historical development of legal regulations, including the Renewable Energy Sources Act and the national hydrogen strategy, alongside alternative energy sources such as electrolyzers, heat pumps, and geothermal energy. The analysis highlights Germany’s leadership in renewable energy transitions and the challenges ahead in achieving energy independence and carbon neutrality by 2050.

Simulating Renewable Energy Systems Using Simulink: A Practical Approach with Design a Large Battery Storage System

waqas javaid 24. February 2025

This MATLAB Simulink model presents the design and implementation of a Large Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) aimed at alleviating peak power demands in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The system utilizes grid-forming control to facilitate power injection during peak times and incorporates a battery management system (BMS) for efficient operation. Additionally, a photovoltaic (PV) system is integrated to supplement power generation. The model encompasses various components such as converters, filters, and controllers to regulate power flow and ensure seamless integration with the grid. Detailed simulations evaluate system performance, validating the effectiveness of peak shaving strategies and compliance with relevant industry standards like IEEE 1547-2018 and IEEE 2030.2.1-2019. Results indicate successful peak shaving functionality and highlight the impact of time delays on system dynamics.
