Summary
Drones offer plenty of
advantages to inspect and
maintain solar PV power
plants. One example“thermal
diagnosis drones” can be
particularly useful for
inspecting photovoltaic
systems at a significantly
reduced time.At the same
time, the deployment of
autonomous cleaning robots
offers to increase the power
output at a reduced service
cost. In the course of this
session the versatility,
benefits and future
development of such devices
will be demonstrated.

RENEWABLE ENERGYHYBRID PLANTS: COMINGOFAGE
Summary
An increasingnumber of
projects around theworlddo
no longer just deploy one
single renewable energy
technology, inorder to
generate power, but rather a
combinationof it. Such
“Renewable EnergyHybrid
Power Plants”are subject to
this session and features this
growingglobal trend.
Challenges andbenefits, local
integration schemes and
existingprojectswill be
showcasedduring this
session.
