Datblygiadau yn y Gymdeithas a'r Ddulliau Ynni yn y UCon.

Mae gwaith datblygu cymdeithasol ym Mhrifysgol Argymdeithas wedi parhau am dros 10 mlynedd, gan arwain at fwy o gyfleoedd a chefnogaeth i gymunedau yng Nghymru. Mae'r wybodaeth a ddysgwyd yn y broses hon wedi dangos sut y gellir ehangu'r gwasanaethau hyn i gymunedau eraill yn y byd. Roedd y Gymdeithas UConn yn allweddol i chwilota datblygiad y sgrifennydd yn y maes cymdeithasol, gan hinwithro am faterion cymdeithasol pwysig trwy gydweithio â phobl o gefndiroedd amrywiol. Mae cysylltiadau â phrosiectau cymdeithasol ledled Cymru ac Iwerddon wedi bod yn rhan o'r gwaith. Mewn perthynas â thechnolegau ynni, mae'r UCon yn dibynnu 95% ar hydro, gyda rhai cymunedau'n gweithio ar systemau off-grid. Mae Old Crow a Beaver Creek wedi cynllunio i ddefnyddio energia solar er mwyn symud oddi ar ddefnyddio diesel. Mae cysylltu ag aelodau'r gymuned yn hanfodol i ddeall eu hanghenion am ynni, gan gymryd i ystyriaeth diwylliannau unigryw.

For many years, the photovoltaic (PV) market was dominated by grid feed-in systems. Increasingly affordable solar modules and storage systems have been changing this picture. The resulting competitive situation is leading to new results when evaluating whether a grid connection makes sense for a particular use or not. However, off-grid applications for thermal energy are also gaining importance, such as solar-electric heating and cooking. Innovative system design as well as innovative storage and applications are shifting into focus.
