Digitalisation in wind and solar power technologies

Smart energy transition includes a widespread deployment of clean technologies and intelligent management with information communication (ICTs). In this paper, the smart is studied from viewpoint technology convergence renewable sources (RESs) ICTs. Two important, fast-growing weather-dependent generation technologies: wind power solar PV (photovoltaic) are studied. This paper provides analyses RES ICT inventions based on international patent data. Digitalisation changing whole society, according to results, can also be seen in technologies. The digitalisation production covers that control, manage optimise electricity different ways. Differences between found: case power, development virtually no solutions partial sector straightforward. However, PV, basic has been even faster than solutions, which may indicate immature nature during years. poses challenges for companies following predicting opportunities innovations collaborations companies. conclusion expanded society policy levels because focusing only narrow field when planning innovation instruments negatively impact country's competitiveness.
