First of all thank you for reading this blog. If you like what you read feel free to share it with other people or start a conversation, because in my opinion this is a topic that mankind ignored for to long and something has to be done.
In this article I would like to give a small introduction of what I want to speak about more detailed in future posts.
I broke down the topic "The future of energy" into 3 major fields.
Part 1: Sustainable Energy Management
This Part consists of the following topics:
1. Environmental compatibility
Regenerative energy systems
Technologies: Wind, water, sun, geothermal energy, biomass
Areas of application: central/decentralized, industrial/home application, stationary/mobil
Energy transport/distribution: district heating, gas networks, mobil storage
Life cycle assessment: Building-/dismanteling costs
Security of supply
2. Security of supply
National/global
Storage techniques and potentials
Control power and capacity retention
3. Economic efficiency
Energy generating costs
Remuneration, subsidies, external costs
Part 2: Energy storage and efficiency considerations
1. Storage technologies:
Storage types:
-- electrochemical
-- thermic
-- chemical
-- mechanical
Storage duration
-- buffer
-- short term
-- long term
2. Energy efficiency consideration & waste heat recovery:
Return into process
Power generation (for example low-temperature power conversion)
Upgrading the waste heat (heat pump, thermochemical system)
3. Sustainability and energy efficiency in production processes:
Energetic analysis of production processes
-- Single processes
-- Complete production (in-house production / suppliers / transport)
Energy saving potentials
Energy recovery
Waste heat usage
Human / social component
This was a long but I hope enough detailed overview over the topic of this blog.
Feel free to leave a like and see you next time!
