    Mexican Photovoltaic Energy Storage Integrated Power Supply

    The Mexican government announced in March 2025 a first-of-its-kind measure in the region: all solar and wind power plants must integrate battery systems equivalent to 30% of their installed capacity, with a minimum of three hours of discharge. Mexico 's Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) has opened a consultation on proposed changes to the provisions for distributed generation, redefining key elements of the current regulatory framework. The draft introduces technical and operational changes affecting both photovoltaic systems and hybrid. Market Scope & Objectives: Establish comprehensive understanding of current landscape, growth drivers, and future potential for PV energy storage solutions in Mexico. Recently, the Mexican Ministry of Energy announced a new regulation mandating that all newly built wind and solar PV projects must be. Energy transition initiatives have continued to decelerate in Mexico, as the administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) favoured backing state-owned enterprises such as national oil firm Pemex and power utility CFE.

    Intelligent Customization Process for Polarization-Maintaining Fiber Optics in Photovoltaic Power Plants

    In this work, we propose a polarization-maintaining, weakly coupled few-mode fiber with a uniform doping concentration, designed via a particle swarm optimization algorithm and a discrete point configuration method. The fiber employs two placed low-index inclusions to lift modal degeneracy and achieve strong birefringence. A stable measurement setup is fun-damental for any successful measure-ment. A major cause of frustration and error is the need to continuously readjust optomechanical equipment because of continuous instabilities. The design features a circular central air hole and an irregular doped boundary.
