This book was released on 2023-04-12 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Energy Sciences, grade: 1.3, Technical University of Berlin (Wirtschafts- und Infrastrukturpolitik), language: English, abstract: This paper will analyse Demand Side Management (DSM), an approach to include the demand side in the electricity system and consequently increase flexibility. The demand side should be regarded as a variable and not as fixed, as Gellings put it beautifully. With renewable energy, energy production becomes a variable source, and the demand has to adapt accordingly. The concept of DSM has been used in the USA since the 1980s but remains a novel subject in the European Union (EU). In 2009, the European Commission set the target to increase the capacities of DSM because only a tenth of the actual potential was used within the EU in 2014. A significant obstacle regarding DSM is the deviating estimation of DSM Potentials. There exist multiple studies, which estimate the potential in Germany, but due to the high deviations that exist between them, making it is dicult to estimate the real potential. For investments, this is an important measure, and it should have high accuracy. These deviations potentially come from a missing definition for DSM, which is often entangled with Demand Response (DR), sector coupling and load management. As no clear definition or distinction to other terms is visible, it seems necessary to define the term DSM. For that, chapter 2 analyses the initial objective, modern approach and relative terms of DSM. Eventually, this leads to a more precise distinction, which helps to calculate the DSM potential from Germany with a broad analysis of multiple studies. These studies are typically based on different assumptions and were conducted in different years, therefore having different annual electricity consumption and consequently di↵erent potentials (Ladwig, 2018). A normalisation with regard to the annual electricity consumption will be performed and followed by a distinction of the assumed restrictions. Here, it helps to look at the DSM groups, which can implement DSM measures and point out their individual restrictions and challenges that would limit their potential or increase the complexity of integration. Scientific modelling helps to estimate the effects of novel approaches on the electricity system. As DSM has many interdependencies and is very decentralised through many individual participants, different approaches for a framework of DSM will be analysed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Energy Sciences, grade: 87.00, , course: LRPM, language: English, abstract: The future of UK's energy industry is currently facing significant threats attributed to dwindling energy resources and escalating energy demand. Demand side management strategies can play a central role in facilitating the UK to smoothly transition from relying on conventional energy production systems to modernised systems that are more reliable due to reduced production costs and enhanced yields. The DSM strategies are predominantly divided into three types namely demand side reaction, distributed generation, and demand reduction. Demand-side responses are concerned mainly with short-term actions characterising the consumers in attempts to modify their power consumption patterns. Distributed generation seeks to establish localized energy generation and distribution to offset the demand load in macro grid power systems. Demand reduction is caused by escalating population growth and the increase of technological appliances and seeks to reduce the energy stress in macro grid power networks. Reducing energy demand explores significant ways to influence consumer behaviours and to enhance power consumption efficiency. Each of DSM groups is affected by technological, financial, and institutional factors. Financial aspects explore monetary benefits and barriers while technological factors deal with technical potential and challenges inhibiting successful implementation of DSM strategies. The institutional elements mostly focus on regulatory issues influencing demand-side management strategies. Thus, the primary recommendations in the UK’s context are concerned with technical developments and policy reconstitution to facilitate secure and sustainable energy management.

Download or read book Balancing Renewable Electricity written by Bert Droste-Franke and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-02 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important aim behind the restructuring of Germany’s and Europe’s electricity systems is to reduce the environmental burden, especially with respect to greenhouse gas emissions, of the current systems. Emissions must be brought down to a level that is sustainable in the long run and consistent with greenhouse gas emission reduction goals. Meeting these goals will require a system (as best as current knowledge suggests) that will be able to cope simultaneously with the fundamental demands for economic efficiency, environmental sustainability and supply security. Making use of existing scenarios, this study sketches such a system. It focuses in particular on auxiliary systems such as energy storage methods and network extensions. The study introduces technologies that can balance electricity in energy systems and that can serve as enabling technologies for the integration of large quantities of renewable energies in the power supply system. It begins with a discussion of normative aims for the future electricity system before continuing with a description of current policies and political developments and an overview of relevant existing energy system studies. These sections serve as background for the remainder of the study. They are followed by discussion and analysis of the growing demand for means to balance the fluctuations found in electricity generated in power systems with a high penetration of renewable energies, the potentials of diverse technologies, requirements for electrical networks, economic impacts and important legal issues. Finally, the main challenges to the achievement of developing balancing technologies and processes for renewable electricity-dominant systems are summarised and recommendations made.

Download or read book World in Transition 3 written by German Advisory Council On Global Change (Wbgu) and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The publication of World in Transition: Towards Sustainable Energy Systems is timely indeed. The World Summit on Sustainable Development gave great prominence to this challenge, but failed to agree on a quantitative, time-bound target for the introduction of renewable energy sources. The German Advisory Council on Global Change (WBGU) has now produced a report with a global focus, which is essential in view of the global impacts of climate change. The report provides a convincing long-term analysis, which is also essential. Global energy policies have to take a long-term perspective, over the next 50 to 100 years, while providing concrete guidance for decision-makers to implement now. There is an urgent need to secure energy supplies for the 2.4 billion people who still depend upon traditional biomass, while avoiding dangerous climatic changes. Our one world must close the gap between industrialized countries' surfeit and developing countries' poverty. Policies will need to consider both the broader environmental and specific climate constraints. I recommend this book very warmly to everyone concerned with global energy issues' Klaus Topfer, Executive Director, United Nations Environment Programme World in Transition: Towards Sustainable Energy Systems underscores the urgent need to transform global energy systems so that the world's population has access to energy based on renewable sources. This is necessary to protect the global climate and to free those in developing countries trapped by energy poverty. Such an approach would also yield a peace dividend by reducing dependence upon regionally concentrated oil reserves. The authors stress that such a reconfiguration of energy systems is both feasible and fundable if rapid and resolute action is taken in the coming two decades. To this end, they propose a roadmap with specific milestones, making this an indispensable contribution to the scientific and policy debates on these critical issues and essential reading for those engaged with them.

Download or read book Electrochemical Energy Storage for Renewable Sources and Grid Balancing written by Patrick T. Moseley and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2014-10-27 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electricity from renewable sources of energy is plagued by fluctuations (due to variations in wind strength or the intensity of insolation) resulting in a lack of stability if the energy supplied from such sources is used in ‘real time’. An important solution to this problem is to store the energy electrochemically (in a secondary battery or in hydrogen and its derivatives) and to make use of it in a controlled fashion at some time after it has been initially gathered and stored. Electrochemical battery storage systems are the major technologies for decentralized storage systems and hydrogen is the only solution for long-term storage systems to provide energy during extended periods of low wind speeds or solar insolation. Future electricity grid design has to include storage systems as a major component for grid stability and for security of supply. The technology of systems designed to achieve this regulation of the supply of renewable energy, and a survey of the markets that they will serve, is the subject of this book. It includes economic aspects to guide the development of technology in the right direction. Provides state-of-the-art information on all of the storage systems together with an assessment of competing technologies Features detailed technical, economic and environmental impact information of different storage systems Contains information about the challenges that must be faced for batteries and hydrogen-storage to be used in conjunction with a fluctuating (renewable energy) power supply

Download or read book Smart Grid Economics and Management written by Clemens van Dinther and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-07 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on market/regulatory issues concerning smart grid applications, business cases and use cases. It covers the most relevant aspects of the smart grid—design considerations, economics, legal aspects and system management—and includes exercises at the end of each chapter. Since renewable energy generation is weather-dependent, it is more volatile, which affects market prices and the need for flexibility options including demand side management. In order to balance supply and demand in a sustainable manner also with high shares of renewables, energy systems need to be enhanced by smart grid technologies. This co-evolutionary transformation of the energy system, economic, societal, political and regulatory domains is challenging and calls for an integrated and interdisciplinary approach. This book provides an essential basis to prepare lecturers and students for engaging in the new energy world.

Download or read book Ecosystem Services Concept Methods and Case Studies written by Karsten Grunewald and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-18 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature provides us with many services seemingly for free: recharged groundwater, fertile soil and plant biomass created by photosynthesis. We human beings draw extensive benefits from these “ecosystem services,” or ES – food, water supply, recreation and protection from natural hazards. Major international studies, such as the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, have addressed the enormous role of biodiversity and ecosystems to human well-being, and they draw particular attention to the consequences resulting from the reduction or loss of these services. These very topical issues are being addressed by authors/scientists in a wide variety of disciplines – and their approaches, terminologies and methodological specifics are just as diverse. What, for example, does the efficacy of nature or natural capital mean? Which values of nature are particularly important, how are they distributed in space and time and how can they be assessed and the relevant knowledge promoted? Can all ecosystem services be quantified and even monetarised? What should be done to ensure that the multiple services of nature will be available also in future? This book explains the multifaceted concept of ecosystem services, provides a methodological framework for its analysis and assessment, and discusses case examples, particularly from Germany. It is addressed to scientists and practitioners in the administrative, volunteer and professional spheres, especially those who deal with environment, landscape management and nature conservation and regional and land-use planning. The target group includes experts from the business community, politicians and decision makers, students and all those interested in fundamental ecological, economic, ethical and environmental issues.
