Photovoltaic system installation in the Alps
At a photovoltaic system in the Alps having two different types of glass-backsheet modules, one type shows after a few years cracks at the backsheets outer layer, while the others are free of failures. See Report T13-24:2021 „Qualification of Photovoltaic (PV) Power Plants using Mobile Test Equipment“ and Report IEA-PVPS-T13-25:2022 "Guidelines for Operation and Maintenance of Photovoltaic Power Plants in Different Climates".

International workshop on ice fall risk assessment in Salzburg
On November 4th and 5th 2021, the Energiewerkstatt invited to a workshop on ice fall risk assessment in the framework of Task 19 of the IEA research cooperation. The aim was to revise the international recommendations on ice fall and ice throw risk assessment issued on behalf of the IEA. The expert group led by Energiewerkstatt published the new edition of the document in spring 2022.

Smart home services
Smart homes can deliver a range of services and benefits to households, such as energy management (energy efficiency), demand response (contribute to regulating energy demand), electricity generation, storage and delivery to the grid, comfort, security, entertainment, household management (planning, internet shopping), specialized services (wellness or health management) and assisted living.

Smart home with multiple systems
Smart home with multiple smart systems and interfaces, for example, smart meter display, lighting control display, heating and cooling control display, window status display etc. (This raises concerns about interoperability and acceptance by users).

Development path of photovoltaics in the future Smart Grid
As part of the international cooperation in Task 14, an overview of current demonstration projects of communication and control concepts with a focus on ICT-related aspects of smart grid integration of photovoltaics was compiled. Based on these experiences, a universal development path was outlined, which describes the possible integration of photovoltaics into a future Smart Grid and the transition from a purely passive role to an active integration into grid control and energy markets.
