Book Description
The core of the book is the presentation of a systematic, continuous and logical chain into the coupled total energy system (GES) of the future, which will lead to the fully sustainable use of renewable energies. Thus, unified models are proposed that are applicable to the subsystems/sectors throughout and allow the optimization of the entire GES. Appropriate algorithms and approaches are illustrated with numerous examples. This is embedded in the context of efforts to fully integrate energy generated from renewable sources into the GES. The overarching role of IT systems for secure operations has been emphasized in the book. The relevance of the correct mapping of technologies to use cases is elaborated and necessary steps derived from this are considered technically and organizationally (standardization). Special attention is paid to the didactic presentation of the material in order to present this new, difficult and complex problem "as simple as possible, but not simpler" [according to Einstein].

Shaping an Inclusive Energy Transition
Author: Margot P. C. Weijnen
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030745864
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
This open access book makes a case for a socially inclusive energy transition and illustrates how engineering and public policy professionals can contribute to shaping an inclusive energy transition, building on a socio-technical systems engineering approach. Accomplishing a net-zero greenhouse gas emissions economy in 2050 is a daunting challenge. This book explores the challenges of the energy transition from the perspectives of technological innovation, public policy, social values and ethics. It elaborates on two particular gaps in the design of public policy interventions focused on decarbonization of the energy system and discusses how both could be remedied. First, the siloed organization of public administration fails to account for the many interdependencies between the energy sector, the mobility system, digital infrastructure and the built environment. Cross-sector coordination of policies and policy instruments is needed to avoid potentially adverse effects upon society and the economy, which may hamper the energy transition rather than accelerate it. Second, energy and climate policies pay insufficient attention to the social values at stake in the energy transition. In addressing these gaps, this book intends to inspire decision makers engaged in the energy transition to embrace the transition as an opportunity to bring a more inclusive society into being.

Renewable Energy in District Heating and Cooling
Author: International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789292600167
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
District heating and cooling (DHC) combined with renewable energy sources can help meet rising urban energy needs, improve efficiency, reduce emissions and improve local air quality. Although currently dominated by fossil fuels such as coal and gas, DHC systems can be upgraded, or new networks created, to use solid biofuel, solar and geothermal energy technologies. Depending on local conditions, renewable-based DHC brings a range of benefits, including increased energy security, improved health and reduced climate impact.To date, only a few countries have taken advantage of their renewable resource potential for DHC or created policies to promote further uptake. Sweden and Switzerland have started promoting renewable-based district heating,while Denmark - with ambitious decarbonisation policies -already uses high shares. Many cities and regions envisage a growing role for district in their energy plans; some are also looking increasingly at district cooling.As this REmap sector study from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) shows, renewables could feasibly supply more than one fifth of the energy needed for DHC worldwide. But to drive the transition, policy makers need to fully understand the costs, bene¿ts and actual potential for renewable-based DHC.

Presents the principles, derivations, and equations of renewable energy power plants, including MATLAB code Advanced Control of Grid-Integrated Renewable Energy Power Plants presents a comprehensive introduction to the power system dynamics and stability of renewable energy power plants (RPPs), such as wind turbines, wind power plants, and photovoltaic systems. The author—a noted expert on the topic—takes a rigorous approach to the analysis and modelling of RPPs, such as turbine rotors, PV cells, electronic converters, transformers, and aggregated grid models. This approach allows for the validation of requirements for sustainable power systems based on formal methods. The text deals with nonlinear model-based observer and control design techniques in the Takagi-Sugeno (TS) framework. It explores the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy (TSF) models which are nonlinear systems, in which the consequent part of a fuzzy rule is a mathematical formula, representing local dynamics or limited nonlinearities by sector functions. The strong property of the TSF finds several applications modelling dynamical systems that can be described by differential equations. The book’s practical exercises use MATLAB code to help model simulation models of single large-scale wind turbines, wind farms, and photovoltaic plants.

Achieving the Paris Climate Agreement Goals
Author: Sven Teske
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030058433
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 535
Book Description
This open access book presents detailed pathways to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2050, globally and across ten geographical regions. Based on state-of-the-art scenario modelling, it provides the vital missing link between renewable energy targets and the measures needed to achieve them. Bringing together the latest research in climate science, renewable energy technology, employment and resource impacts, the book breaks new ground by covering all the elements essential to achieving the ambitious climate mitigation targets set out in the Paris Climate Agreement. For example, sectoral implementation pathways, with special emphasis on differences between developed and developing countries and regional conditions, provide tools to implement the scenarios globally and domestically. Non-energy greenhouse gas mitigation scenarios define a sustainable pathway for land-use change and the agricultural sector. Furthermore, results of the impact of the scenarios on employment and mineral and resource requirements provide vital insight on economic and resource management implications. The book clearly demonstrates that the goals of the Paris Agreement are achievable and feasible with current technology and are beneficial in economic and employment terms. It is essential reading for anyone with responsibility for implementing renewable energy or climate targets internationally or domestically, including climate policy negotiators, policy-makers at all levels of government, businesses with renewable energy commitments, researchers and the renewable energy industry.
