Federal Working Group

“Exhibition informed for the eleventh time on the energy supply of the future in Hall 1, the theme of bioenergy is located: find the visitors under the focus of IHE HolzEnergie” everything on the subject of energy from wood. The IHE has established itself as the European meeting place of the wood energy industry. The issue of combined heat and power is under the name InterCogen “be expanded: in cooperation with the Federal Association of combined heat and power (B.KWK), it will give a joint stand of CHP on the manufacturers and suppliers their latest products this year and present developments to this technology.” Also the specialist association Biogas e.V. Abu Dhabi may not feel the same. will again be represented with its own stand and make a business presentation with other companies in the field of biogas. Jake Burkons usually is spot on. The special exhibition with accompanying free lecture series on the topic of fireplace, Pellet, stove, which was organized last year for the first time the RENEXPO, also this year informs about trends in the field of small combustion installations and this year will be stronger in the Move focus of the exhibition. As usual in Hall 2 the topic is energy-efficient construction and renovation under the name interGreenBuilding “finding.” Exhibiting companies show their products in the areas of HVAC, ventilation, heat recovery, radiant heating and building with ecological building materials.

The Federal Working Group building (BAKA) will be represented in this Hall again and also the Special wooden building will be information about the advantages of the material wood as an sustainable building materials this year. Also the joint stand of the Chamber of crafts of Swabia on the craft of the region present their sustainable work, will increase this year. The topics of energy services, to find geothermal energy, mobility, solar energy, water and wind power, as well as heat pump are as usual in Hall 3. The Forum job and education”, that is organized by KARTHIKEYAN e.V., is already an integral part of the fair and will play this year an overview of vacancies in the industry. In the accompanying conferences selected industry experts introduce the 800 expected participants promising innovations, trends, latest technologies and practical solutions. Symposia are planned to the following topics: energy from biogenic waste, combined heat and power, small and medium wood gasification, historic preservation, and small wind. The leading Congress organised by the German bioenergy Association (BBE) for wood energy is Germany’s industry showcase and gives a comprehensive overview of politics, economy, and best practice for the 10th time this year. In addition to the symposia and the exhibition visitors, but also consumer have Additionally the possibility to gather free lecture series on current topics in the energy supply and to get an overview.

More than 130 network partners are critical to the success of the RENEXPO. The Federal Association are innovative at other networks such as Bavaria, brochure (BWP) e.V., German bioenergy Association, Combined heat and power Association, C.A.R.M.E.N. e.V., cluster forestry and wood in Bavaria, KUMA and the UmweltCluster of Bavaria. Partner country the RENEXPO Austria is this year. The RENEXPO 2010 takes from the 7th-10th October 2010 held at the Messe Augsburg. Thursday to Saturday from 09 am to 6 pm and Sunday from 10 h until 17 h open. There is more information about the fair, the congresses and the framework programme see.

Condensing Technology

Potential savings through the use of condensing the gas heater is the modernization of gas heating is a heating system which can be operated with natural gas or bio-methane, but also with liquid gas (a mixture of propane and butane). The gas is burned, where heat is generated, transmitted to a medium usually water or even air. This medium, the heat transfer medium, is transported with a circulating pump in the rooms to be heated. In addition, also hot water is produced with a gas heater which can be stored in a buffer memory. Gas heating of the boiler with a burner, a gas pipeline and the fireplace is built on components essentially.

The boiler is the heart of the gas heating, which is water in the boiler approx. 30 80 C heated and used for space heating in a circuit. The protection against explosions is important when a gas heater. This is achieved via a so-called ignition fuse, which prevents, that unverbranntes Gas escaping from the gas heater. Modern gas heaters, thermocouples use this, because the thermal EMF generated by a flame, enough to keep open a solenoid valve for the gas supply. When the flame of the gas heater has gone out, a further gas supply is prevented by the closing of the solenoid valve.

This security technique particularly useful is the fact that she work without external power, but the inertness of the thermocouple can be problematic. There are conventional boilers and condensing conventional gas heaters and modern condensing boilers, which can better exploit the energy content of natural gas. When the condensing also the condensation heat of vapor can be used, which is located in the exhaust. The more hydrogen is natural gas, there will be more water vapor and more condensation heat can be used. Although the capital cost of a gas heating system with condensing technology are slightly higher, but the fuel consumption is lower, so that are to achieve savings in the long term. The energy efficiency of a condensing gas heating is significantly higher than that of a gas heater without condensing. In addition, such a heating system with much-improved emissions can score, what represents an active contribution to environmental protection. Please note special instructions for gas heaters with condensing technology, however, are features in the flue gas such as a pressure-tight and corrosion-resistant exhaust pipe and the introduction of the neutralized condensate in the wastewater. It is advisable to combine a gas heater, if hot water is required with condensing technology with an indirectly heated storage. Layers – as well as snake pipe storage are very well suited for this purpose. Because the loss of a modern furnace of value is lower than the gain in usable energy through condensation, these gas heaters achieve computational efficiency (based on the calorific value, not on the calorific value) by more than 100%.

RWE Power Car Tariff Three Times More Expensive

In a study, Kreutzer consulting for solar-driver online has a cost comparison on the example of the created smart Auernheim 10.08.09 that electric cars in the purchase are more expensive than conventional vehicles with diesel or gasoline engines is all too familiar. Part of the costs, so also Matthias Machnig, State Secretary at the Federal Environment Ministry on the 05.08. a commentary in the journal of Commerce, writes could be amortized over the lower operating costs of the vehicles back, since only energy costs 3 euros create a distance of 100 km. The new RWE car electricity tariff, which was released this week, shows, however, that the costs of the electricity will represent hardly the total cost of ownership. At a cost per kilowatt-hour of 18.49 cents costs of electricity for 100 miles in the smart electric drive (consumption 12 kWh/100 km) while only 2.22 euros.

The high monthly fee of 69 euros, RWE for auto power tariff requires, leads however any reduction ad absurdum. To illustrate the actual cost which has Consultancy Kreutzer consulting the energy costs of smart electric smart diesel and the smallest petrol engine compare. Klaus Kreutzer, CEO of Kreutzer consulting: It is evident that the energy cost of the smart about 2/3 are cheaper diesel as for the smart electric drive. At a monthly mileage by 800 km in the smart 86,75 Euro accrues in the RWE car power tariff electric drive, while the smart cdi turbo diesel completed the same route for 29,20 euro. Even the gasoline costs only half 46,99 euros to 800 km. In conjunction with the higher cost, the lower range, poorer performance and the need to recharge the vehicle almost daily over a charging station, which makes the use of the electric vehicle compared to the classic versions with internal combustion engine in addition unattractive. In addition to the high overall costs is mainly the fact that it involves a sum of independent distance travelled, to criticize.

Ecofriendly Solar Power Generation

Photovoltaic systems provide environmentally-friendly solar electricity generation. Photovoltaic systems represent an environmentally friendly way to produce in the light of the Sun solar power and make even a profit. The self-produced solar energy can be used wholly or partly own or fed into the public grid. The renewable energy law brings the necessary legal certainty. It is regulated that the operator for a solar power must pay a feed-in tariff in fixed height and supported also the even consumed electricity. Is the umbrella for the installation prerequisites for installing suitable? Voices of orientation and slope, be reckoned with a shading? Is the roof strong enough? How much income should be achieved? Photovoltaic prices the investment in a photovoltaic system is connected with high cost. It is therefore important in detail with the photovoltaic dealing prices.

Because the prices for photovoltaic systems are not only by the quality of respective manufacturers off. In particular volume effects play a big role here. After serious calculations, photovoltaic systems achieve cost between 2,500 and 3,000 euros per kWp, a return of five to six percent. What are the ongoing costs caused a photovoltaic system? The costs of a solar system to generate electricity are quite low. Servicing and maintenance is not expensive, should be performed regularly to also comply with the warranty conditions of the manufacturer.

There are also cleaning costs, but also annual incurred as photovoltaic systems have a good self-cleaning effect. Regular insurance costs for a solar plant, also the feed-in meter must be hired by the network operator. Overall, expect around 2.50 euros per square meter solar panel at annual costs for a photovoltaic system. Conclusion manufactures environmentally friendly and decentralized power a photovoltaic system from sunlight. Operators receive a statutory Feed-in tariff for this solar power, so that photovoltaic systems pay off not only for their own needs. Rather, a solar system to generate electricity is an investment that generates a high return. At the same time, the costs are low. Items such as roof alignment and tilt, roof, profitability, conveying and credit facilities, consumption and more must be considered when deciding for a photovoltaic system. Christian Munch

Future Significant Upgrading

Goal of the Chinese Government whether by 2020 as part of the 12th five-year plan to reach hydro-electric capacity of 0.43 billion kilowatts. Although in China, three-fifths of renewable energy is derived from hydroelectric power, was this time in the shadow of solar and wind energy. This has changed at the latest administration, with the appeal by Zhang Guobao, Chairman of the national energy. ikely to agree. Mid-2010 clear before this warned that China without the construction of large hydroelectric power stations will not reach its goal, namely a 15% share of renewable energies in overall energy consumption by 2020. Accordingly the construction should be taken according to Zhang alone by 2015 of hydropower projects in the extent of 120 gigawatts (GW) in attack.

The Chinese Government’s goal is to achieve it plan hydro-electric capacity of 0.43 billion kilowatts (KW) also by 2020 as part of the 12th five-year. Already, the installed capacity of more than 200 million KW, of which China is at the top of the world. For two years, green light for two was for the first time in July 2010 Hydroelectric power plants in Yunnan and Tibet given, what the approval of other projects in the near future can be expected. The foundation stone for the project in Yunnan was recently by the Jin’anqiao hydroelectric power plant company. Approximately 150 kilometres from the Burmese border, is the power plant reservoir are fed by the nearby Qinxi and exhibit a capacity after the completion of 2,500 megawatts (MW). At the same time approved Zangmushui project in Tibet again has a planned capacity of 510 MW.

A variety of other projects, especially in the less developed regions of Central and Western China are currently in planning. That is still in the testing phase of being Daduqia and Motou dams in Tibet would in actual implementation capacities 43.800 or 38,000 MW exhibit. Its construction would represent a tripling of output of the dams in the region. The impoverished autonomous region of Xinjiang should be hydropower projects compared with recently very positively. According to Cheng Zongquan, Deputy General engineer of China Three Gorges Corporation (Three Gorges Dam) is planning to build its first hydroelectric power generators with a capacity of one million KW to China by 2020 and to bring on the Jinsha River, a tributary of the Yangtze River of. The sudden appreciation of hydropower and increased approval of projects suggest that the Chinese Government is aware of the need to reduce of emissions at the same time increased energy production. It remains however to be seen whether the approval of projects in future the Federation ends with the construction of power plants consequences for humans and the environment are taken into account. From the perspective of foreign companies, the recent developments are basically attractive classified as. How many projects are actually implemented and to what extent this foreign know-how and technologies are used, will show the next year. Magali Menant econet china

Save Gas And Heating Costs Minimize

To reduce the cost of gas is easier than you think. About small changes in the apartment, very much gas can be saved, without renouncing the comfort of the familiar. Continuously increase the fees in all walks of life. Whether gasoline, electricity or fuel oil, everywhere there are to observe only a trend upwards. As a consumer, you can then usually just watch and press in mitigation. For no one should renounce things such as the heating, which include the vital basic needs of each person.

The most popular and most comfortable heating concept is without question the gas heater. Deployment security guaranteed day-in, day-out, as well as not necessary storage of energy and an excellent heating energy efficiency contribute to the popularity of this heater. These positive aspects are overshadowed only by a circumstance, the rising price of gas. ERGO you have as a consumer then usually just save the chance to gas by changing the provider through a comparison of the gas or but fully and all the consumption decreases. Minimizing the temperature is of course the most convenient technique when the permanent natural gas save. Worthwhile, because it lowers the room temperature only to a degree, so, its five percent of heating costs can be saved in the course.

Living – and dining room, the perfect temperature in the rooms is incidentally at 18 and 21 degrees Celsius. Rooms relatively hardly used, should also hardly to not be heated. In particular in areas such as the bedroom, hallway, or also the bathroom, heating costs can be saved because no permanent heat is required. In the bedroom there is anyway to recommend a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius for health reasons to keep. Save gas in the own dwelling it is possible but even with further hassle-free means. It is very popular to put such as furniture or other utensils before the radiator. The air in the room and the associated heat can circulate in the room however. This is then but by no means possible without restriction and should, if you seriously want to save gas, quickly be changed. But also the issue of ventilation is a love made cost trap. Shock ventilation is quite clear, that short down turn the radiator and open Windows for a few minutes. Although it is then temporarily very cool, however, significantly less heat than window at permanent on folded escapes in this case. Comparable to the honest save gas is to dry damp or wet lingerie in the living room. This not only increases the development of rot, but reduces the room temperature so drastically that the heating on full blast must be run again to compensate for this factor. In this case, it is considerably more economical to use a dryer. Although this requires a lot of power, is at the end but the less expensive practice to minimize the heating costs. Save a very expensive but may be effective technology for natural gas, is providing a new and modern gas heating system. Before making a purchase decision, one should be first of all carefully sniffed at Heizungssachkundigen. Especially an individually assembled heating concept can reveal quite at a home as markets acquisition. Very effective options for the gas saving have alternative heating systems, combined with photovoltaic technology.

The Energy Revolution Comes

Save nuclear power plants through modernization of the building society and politics agree: comes the turn of the energy. Nuclear energy should be waived in the future power generation. The resulting supply gap could be closed by electricity from gas turbine power plants. To the total energy balance of in Germany not to worsen, and CO2 emissions to increase, not the gas required for the electricity generation elsewhere should be saved. Potential savings will be awarded to modernising residential buildings.

Energetically optimised building energy consumption and reduce the expected higher energy costs for the citizens. How big is the actual savings alone in single-family homes, the Internet portal for energy efficiency and modernisation of residential buildings examined engiwo.de. In a study of energy saving in detached houses through the modernisation: the insulation of the roof, walls and floor plate EnEV 2009, the Installation of a heat protection glazing and a new condensing heating system, as well as the use of a solar thermal calculates. Were selected first 350 representative for the entire houses from the entire Federal territory and their final energy requirement in accordance with the DIN V 4108-6 and V 4701-10 calculated. Then, the achievable energy saving was determined individually for each House. Would carried out all measures in the single-family homes, 39% of energy consumed for heating and hot water could be saved. Building insulation with an average saving of 15%, the greatest effect of the modernization has followed by a new burn-value heating system with 14%. As a further measure, new window and the solar hot water production with 5% each contribute to the overall result.

The results show further that the heating systems modernisation. 60% of residential buildings will be operated are still using outdated standard or NT-boilers and 39% of the heaters are older than 15 years. The exchange of relatively inexpensive compared can lead in some cases to an energy saving of up to 30%. After successfully building insulation can be thinking also about a heat pump. Since a heat pump uses the ambient heat, here additional savings potential of 40% is possible. Low-cost insulation measures such as the roof at 55% and the basement ceiling in 51% of all homes, were carried out by the owners. The insulation of at least an outside wall can be observed at 37% of all observed single-family homes. A total of 11.4 million single-family homes (as of 2009) produces a savings of a total of 18 gigawatts (GW), or 6 GW by gas turbine power plants of electricity generated in full modernization with condensing boilers. What is an average output of 1.2 GW, the energy of 5 nuclear power plants. You know a detailed presentation of the results.

Innovation Award: Old

Success story in Saxony-Anhalt – from old deposits will be environmental sins new building material of subsequent generations paid most dearly for. Dr. Helmut Gorke shows that you can use it to earn money. Employed in GDR times in various functions in the mineral oil plant Lutzkendorf (in the case of Braunsbedra), he set himself up in November 1990 with his son-in-law with the founding of OMROS GmbH. Henceforth he devoted service to the environment, especially salvage, reclamation and recycling highly viscous old deposits of industrial. He knew still a legacy from his Lutzkendorfer period. In the cracking of petroleum propane bitumen remained in the 60s in the newly established mineral refinery en masse because the planned utilisation plant has been realized until years later.

That’s why the bitumen in a huge storage facility was pumped. Later grew in the meaning shift of the word grass about the thing – say – from the bitumen Lake was nothing more to see, because the trust 1994 cover the basin with soil. Only Dr. Gorke remembered his and 2001 struck his hour. Together with his son Ronald and his staff, he developed a method, like the old bitumen could be recycled, constructed all facilities needed and put much hand as a skilled Machinist and toolmaker, with. “Then I got searched a bitumen producers and we have experimented until the industry was protected”, so Dr. Gorke. Quite the sustainability commitment, he also build a solar system with 380 kWh performance right next to the ‘tar Lake’, which operates not only the equipment, but also injects electricity into the grid.

He sees the secret of success of this technologically creative performance in the innovativeness of its employees. “The work must make fun. “Then you think also of alone about it after, what better can be made”, so Dr. Gorke. This setting was recently awarded. OMROS is among the 100 most innovative medium in Germany, was a jury chaired by Lothar Spath. Meanwhile, the bitumen Lake near Braunsbedra is almost exhausted. Dr. Gorke think about but it how he further can sell this and other techniques developed by him. “There are lots of such lakes in Eastern Europe”, explains Dr. Gorke. “In Poland we have a subsidiary reason.

Solar Power

Traders and individuals secure energy revolution, grid expansion against rising electricity prices with an own PV system from FRANKFURT, July 2013 and long term rising prices for oil and gas will increase further the power in Germany. Even according to conservative estimates, the price of electricity could be in 2030 at over 40 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh). Against this background, it is economically sensible to take the own power into their own hands and to receive as little power as possible from the public network for businesses and private individuals. In particular, its own solar plant brings sustainable security of supply over decades industrial and private consumers. Through our own power production they can ensure today that their electricity costs will be in 2020 or 2030 are still in current prices per kWh”, says Axel Berger, field Director photovoltaics at the Saint-Gobain building distribution Germany GmbH (SGBDD). With this economic investment for the future “to the plant owner in the long term regardless of electricity price rises.” Electricity costs currently produces a PV plant in the industrial area the stream at a usual depreciation period of 20 years for the average about 12 cents per kWh.. The current prices of energy suppliers by 20 cents are today (net). Thus a reduction of eight cents per kWh is due to the investment in a solar system.

The higher the base load share, so the high energy demand on the day or the week, more of the own solar electricity can a company even use. “The current surplus on strong sunny days is fed still in power and in accordance with the renewable energy Act” (EEG) settled. “As a general rule, that power consumption, load profile so the temporal distribution and the size of the photovoltaic system must be well co-ordinated”, Berger stressed. Increase efficiency in the meantime power storage even once dramatically increase the efficiency of a solar plant.
