District heating will play an important role in the transition towards climate-neutral heating. Various studies on modelling energy system show that district and related expansion of networks can have different levels importance. A main reason is costs for distribution grid are not well or at all considered empirical evidence a threshold cost-effective missing such studies. In this paper, we aim to improve allowing representation future systems models. For that, current status analysed high...
Current investment in distribution networks for electricity, gas, and heat is high, the play a prominent role necessary transformation of energy system. This paper provides insights into relationship between residential end-user decisions on supply their effect infrastructure planning. Therefore, are analyzed together. After review characteristics networks, most common sector coupling technologies compared economically environmentally. The results show that, under assumptions made, pumps...
Abstract Industry accounts for about 30% of the final energy demand in Germany. Of this, 75% is used to provide heat, but a considerable proportion heat unused. A recent bottom-up estimate shows that up 13% fuel consumption industry lost as excess exhaust gases. However, this only quantifies theoretical potential, it does not consider technical aspects usability. In paper, we also potentials using method. Compared previous estimates, however, go one step further by including corrosiveness...
Excess heat can make an important contribution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the heating and cooling sector. Due local character of heat, excess potential is decisive for using heat. However, spatially distributed subdivision into different subsectors have not been sufficiently investigated Germany. Here we analyse Germany according municipal level. We use data more than 115,000 records on exhaust fuel input from over 11,000 industrial sites. calculate site-specific check its...
Only 5% of the 156 Third World countries tried to develop a national energy policy in response economic shocks OPEC oil embargo. The main goal those who deal with need reduce their use imported was increase rural electrification using conventional hydropower and coal, while making only marginal renewable resources. Their is due ready technology for forms historical these fuel industrialization. Several examples illustrate factors that influenced whether country leaned toward or alternative...
One of the most important factors in successful electric steelmaking is continuous observation process and reaction to it.Traditional arc furnace control uses mainly direct controls which are based on power input.Not considering conditions will necessarily lead suboptimal operation terms energy consumption productivity not fully utilized.The ARCCESS FEOS (Furnace Energy Optimization System) includes simultaneous transformer tap, impedance operating point, reactor burner carbon injection, DRI...
While the Eastern bloc countries (in particular USSR) are self-sufficient (i.e. non-vulnerable) in terms of energy (a basic prerequisite for state existence) at least up to turn century, Western democracies cannot survive on their own reserves energy, which economies and infrastructures primarily based. This is especially true USA. In case an oil embargo (as happened almost a decade ago), if US subsequently depleted, transportation system (based completely oil) could break down, with it...
