The future of energy - Introduction

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.
