Der Ausstieg aus der Nutzung der Kernenergie in Deutschland wurde im Sommer 2011 im Eiltempo beschlossen. Jetzt zeigt sich, dass es keinen realistischen Plan fur den Umbau der Energieversorgung in der vorgesehenen Frist von zehn Jahren gibt. Fur die Umstellung unserer gesamten Stromversorgung und damit unserer Wirtschaft ist der Zeitraum zu kurz. Es fehlt eine belastbare empirische Begrundung, die Fragen der Versorgungssicherheit, der Finanzierbarkeit, der Auswirkungen auf die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung und die soziale Gerechtigkeit behandeln musste. Somit droht diese Wende an ihren...

The scope of the Conference was broad, covering all aspects of the renewable energies offshore such as resource assessment for wind, wave and tidal...

This book will assess and compare several options for ammonia co-fueling of diesel locomotives with integrated heat recovery, multigeneration (including on-board hydrogen fuel production from ammonia), and emission reduction subsystems from energy, exergy, and environmental perspectives. Economic considerations will be presented to compare the cost of the proposed systems for different scenarios such as carbon-tax rates, diesel fuel cost and ammonia cost.

Fossil fuel consumption and the associated negative environmental impact of their combustion is a significant global concern that...

Ground-Source Heat Pumps presents the theory and some of the most recent advances of GSHPs and their implementation in the heating/cooling system of buildings. The authors explore the thermodynamic cycle with calculation, operation regimes and economic indicators and GHG emissions of a vapor compression heat pump. They go on to examine substitution strategies of non-ecological refrigerants and types of compressors and heat pumps, before delving into the different GSHP systems, as well as their compared economic, energy and environmental performances using classical and...

Regulation & Investments in Energy Markets: Solutions for the Mediterranean presents the status of advancement and maturity of the Mediterranean energy policy, identifying patterns of development as well as lessons learned.

Mediterranean countries are facing unprecedented challenges in the energy sector which affect the entire region. Energy policy and regulation is the key to tackling energy efficiency challenges, and providing favorable conditions for engineering infrastructures, investments, and improving security of energy supply.

The assumption that the normative model,...

The book provides the reader with an overview of the models that can be used for simulating a PV (photovoltaic) generator at different levels of granularity, from cell to system level, in uniform as well as in mismatched conditions. It provides a thorough comparison among the models. The book is divided into 9 chapters: Introduction, PV models, Single Diode Model (SDM) parameters identification, PV simulation under homogeneous conditions, PV arrays under non-homogeneous conditions, Models of PV arrays under non-homogeneous conditions, PV array modeling at cell level under non-homogeneous...

Der Konferenzband gibt die Beitrage der Tagung von 2015 mit dem Schwerpunkt Netzintegration von erneuerbaren Energien wieder. Die Beitrage spiegeln die neuesten Entwicklungen und Erfahrungen zu Energiespeichern, zur Netzintegration und zu den Rahmenbedingungen von Energie aus fluktuierenden Quellen wieder. Besonderer Wert wurde auf die systemtechnische Betrachtung, Analyse und Optimierung des Stromsektors gelegt. Dazu gehoren beispielsweise zukunftige Strategien zur verbesserten Netzintegration fluktuierender Energien sowie Konzepte zur Netzregelung mit dezentralen Kraftwerkseinheiten....
