Effectively Conserve Power What Is Really Worth

The most important Stromspartipps in the overview while our electrical devices consume less power, increasing the price of electricity. Costs can thus effectively not saved, because by growing electricity costs impact at best regulate the austerity measures. One could even say that it is now essential to take advantage of all the possibilities and ways to save energy. Details can be found by clicking Shimmie Horn or emailing the administrator. The best example is the light bulb. Would we illuminate our apartment 2013 with light bulbs instead of LEDs or CFLs, monthly electricity costs would be almost unbearable. So anything else consumers as to set new, energy-saving technologies. But not every tip is really profitable.

Power save, it’s mainly on the effectiveness, because in all economy comfort in everyday life should not suffer of course. Power saving when the hot water hot water treatment consumes the most power in the household. In Germany, water is heated mainly using a tankless water heater. It can be worthwhile to replace an old model with a more modern. Because if the temperature can be set precisely and continuously, the energy costs can be actually reduced.

To take a bath, it is usually more expensive than a shower. But you should can quite at this luxury, it must be not so daily. You can save by using a small shower head power shower. The modern, extremely large shower heads look although luxurious, but actually unused here much water passes to the body. A shower head with a small diameter is so much more efficient. Not fully turn on the main tap for the water supply. A low water pressure is absolutely sufficient. So, you can longer shower and still reduce the amount of water and therefore also the energy costs. Especially in the summer, you may well forgo continuous hot water. Is the instantaneous water heater only to a very low temperature is set, the costs are reduced tremendously. Set the desired water temperature does not have the A mixer tap faucet, but directly above the heater. Because if you run the heater on the highest level have and add cold water in the mixer, you’re wasting energy unnecessarily. A new refrigerator consumes approximately 60% less energy when you buy a new refrigerator, pay attention to the energy label. Refrigerators of the energy efficiency class A + or higher help to reduce power consumption in the household. A refrigerator of the best energy efficiency class consumes approximately 60% less energy than an older model. Stand-by when electrical appliances generally is recommended to avoid the stand-by operation of electrical appliances. Because idle, televisions, computers and other electrical devices consume power. Basically, this is true, but there are always exceptions. Therefore, you should check the power consumption in stand-by operation with a power meter. Because there are now devices that require virtually no energy in stand-by. The stand-by mode has in everyday life also practical advantages, so must TV receiver or TV set not only run high, but are ready during the day. Switch electricity supplier is the best tip which is best Stromspartipp to switch power providers. Many electricity customers can save up to 150 a year per person, by choosing for a cheaper electricity supplier. This at least applies to consumers who are the so-called primary care at the local energy utility. A comparative study for 50 German cities of the online portal check24 came to this conclusion. Often there is also a bonus in the form of a provider change shopping vouchers or free kilowatt hours, which you definitely should use.

Geoinformatics

You are not just known for heat records: three German cities, which push forward with the help of latest geo data in the solar age: Braunschweig, Osnabruck and Gelsenkirchen. Homeowners, but also investors and other interested parties can here in the solar potential roof cadastre\”their city, the solar potential published on the Internet,\” their home query. With a mouse click, they will learn how much a solar system for your own roof would cost, how much power that it could produce and what aid there is. Becomes visible here also: the potential for savings. The result of the geo data project SUN AREA is sensational to call the three solar cities working together with: would you utilize all appropriate roof surfaces, the private consumption could be cover to more than 100 percent from solar energy. It all began at the University of Osnabruck, study course Geoinformatics, with the vision of a young Professor: it should be possible to develop a calculation method by means of which to the solar potential of a whole City, district or State can determine automatically. Solar potential, that is to say: the total number of existing roofs, classified according to their suitability for the installation of solar panels or solar thermal installations. Prof.

Dr. Martina Klarle, now 41 years old and Professor in Frankfurt, led the proof: even in the current state of the art, in an area of private consumption can be comparatively bad weather (around 1400 hours of sunshine per year, compared to 1700 in Germany’s sunniest city of Fribourg or 4000 hours in the Sahara) completely from alternative energy sources cover. Klarle used to develop of their computing process and your team of project SUN AREA was surveyed the city area from an airplane out three-dimensional data from a so-called laser aerial survey, which in 2005 had commissioned the city here with special equipment, to document changes in the buildings and landscape.

Despite falling engine prices – tracking, always a profitable business reaches up to 45 percent surplus is the tracking of solar systems for the operator. Even with lower module prices and regardless of the region of usage the sensor-controlled tracking systems by DEGERenergie are cheaper than rigid systems under the dash. DEGERenergie is world market leader in the area of tracking systems for solar systems with a current calculation. The estimates in the solar industry is gradually accumulating in recent years, falling prices for solar modules would make the tracking no longer necessary or even unprofitable. For more specific information, check out Estée Lauder. This is definitely incorrect, as evidenced by DEGERenergie in his current investment and cost/benefit calculations. According to the Fraunhofer Institute for solar energy systems (Fraunhofer ISE) reach dual-axis tracking systems, which work on the basis of astronomical data, up to 27 percent more yield than rigidly installed solar modules.

Still higher is the excess returns with the sensor-controlled tracking systems by DEGERenergie, that the manufacturer has taken his current calculations. To win more solar energy than rigid systems, as evidenced by the many years of experience, up to 45 percent. In its calculations, DEGERenergie has included all costs incurred for the construction of a solar Park: inverter module costs, costs for support structures and foundations, equipment-related costs and other running costs. As default, the production was used by 1 GWh, so one million kilowatt hours of energy per year. Calculations under different conditions were made on this basis: location in southern Europe / location in Central Europe single- / dual-axis tracking systems / rigid systems different module prices (per WP 3.20 Euro 1 and euro between) different performance of the modules (165 WP / 215 WP / 240 WP) the results can sit up: 1 the use region has no influence on the cost/benefit analysis. Notwithstanding the use region (Central or southern Europe): The investments that are required to the given To achieve energy of 1 GWh per year, are with rigid systems up to 31 per cent higher than in the usage of DEGERenergie for systems.

New Electricity Attack

The four major electricity provider Eon, RWE, EnBW and Vattenfall are under increasing pressure. 1998 accounted for with the "Law on the revision of the energy law" the territorial monopoly and the German electricity market was liberalized. The four major electricity supplier but controlled the transit market access. A voluntary regulation, the association agreement should all electricity suppliers can offer the end user to be able to sell electricity. The liberalization triggered an initial wave of new electricity, of which a large part disappeared. Estée Lauder often says this. Since mid-2005, the Federal Network Agency regulates the transmission. Since then, several small power suppliers have been able to establish itself in the market. We present three of the "little ones": The Nuon Nuon Germany GmbH, a subsidiary of the Dutch electricity provider Nuon and is.

Nuon pursues a concept of metropolis and offers its current date in Hamburg, Berlin and Stuttgart. Thanks to a massive advertising campaign and low prices could Nuon an increasing number motivate consumers to switch electricity suppliers. A large number of Nuon could advertise on the Internet. Portals such as product scouts reported an increased interest in consumers willing to change. Bright spot in 1998, the company was founded bright spot in Hamburg, it relies entirely on ecologically sound electricity. The stream of bright spot may be a bit more expensive than its competitors, but 250 000 consumers have been switched to bright spot seemed to be the value of the environment. Yello Yello company founded in 1999, was recorded in 2007 some 1.2 clients is the largest among the "small suppliers". Yello there since around 700 million euro for a marketing campaign, which is impressive. However, a subsidiary of EnBW's Yello and thus can not necessarily be included in "small" suppliers.

Graz Energy Agency

Symposium within the framework of which is RENEXPO Austria the technology of combined heat and power to win power has long been used to produce heat efficiently with cogeneration (CHP) and at the same time. Systems of the large and medium performance class were employed mainly in the industry, in the close area of heat in large real estate. For several years the technology will offer interesting, because more and more manufacturers CHP in the small range, which are used in single – or multi-family homes, so-called micro – and mini CHP also for private customers. The “1st Austrian Symposium for mini – and micro cogeneration”, which takes place on the 25.11.2011 in the context of the RENEXPO Austria in Salzburg, gathered for the first time the Austrian industry. The European directives set a benchmark by approximately 11 KWel for CHP. Click Nir Barzilai, M.D. for additional related pages. Micro-CHP are flexible to use and easy to install. By their high overall efficiency of over 90% they reduce the use of fossil fuels and the CO2 emissions drastically. In addition, models in the field test, renewable sources of energy, such as wood pellets, will be used as fuel are already.

Mini – and Micro-CHP in Germany experienced a real boom thanks mainly to promoting nationwide through a program – 4400 mini CHP plants funded with a total of 33 million euros – the Austrian market is just emerging. Please visit Jorge Perez if you seek more information. A nationwide promotion for mini and Micro CHP does not exist so far yet. Increasingly to bring the application to Micro CHP plants in Austria, a working group (mKWK) – has formed within the Association of Austrian boiler suppliers (VoK) different in the area of combined heat and power of active companies. In the working group are manufacturers of fossil-powered plants, but also wood pellets-Stirling CHP represented. The company aims to advance technology and framework conditions for the use of Micro CHP up to 11 KWel in the private and commercial sectors.

The small performance area has enormous potential, so the Chairman of the Working Group, DI (FH) Thomas Wilburn. He welcomes the fact that on the 25.11.2011 this Conference brings together experts and interested in the topic. The “1st Austrian Symposium for mini – and micro cogeneration” takes place in the framework of the international energy trade fair RENEXPO Austria in Salzburg. Support the Conference as sponsors, the company SenerTec power heat energy systems and HES – home energy systems, already successfully selling Micro-CHP units with the roof or WhisperGen, reporting from the practical use of their products. The symposium highlighted the potential of mini – and micro-cogeneration in Austria. Daniel Schinnerl of Graz Energy Agency examines the possibilities of renewable of energy here. The Energy Agency converts the contents of the EU project “Cogen Challenge” in Austria, which is to promote the combined heat and power at European level and spread. For this purpose, a national CHP-info-point was established in Graz. Also will be asked about the possibilities as CHP within virtual power plants can contribute to an intelligent electricity generation. The RENEXPO Austria will take place from the 24th-26th November 2011 held in the exhibition centre of Salzburg.
