Energy-efficient construction, electric mobility and storage technologies are Husum important exhibition topics, 19.03.2013 – the new energy Husum moves from 21 to 24 March 2013, energy-efficient building, electric mobility and storage technologies in the Centre of the exhibition events. Because these issues are becoming increasingly relevance, we would provide with own special exhibition areas and targeted events for a greater presence”, says Peter Becker, Managing Director of Messe Husum & Congress. The industries of solar and wind energy are 2013 again most represented at the trade fair and together about half of the approximately 300 exhibitors. Exhibitors of electric bicycles exhibition spaces for electric vehicles and energy-efficient building concepts are presented in this year on an own exhibition space in Hall 2 (stand 2 C 19 and 2C20). Visitors can try out the Electric transportation locally: load on a test track outside Hall 1 exhibitors to trials with their E-bikes, electric scooters and electric cars.

The new energy Husum offers an additional service the owners of electric cars: you can charge your car at a power station at the test track. The new energy Husum has reserved a separate special exhibition surface with integrated lecture Forum this year also energy-efficient building. More and more builders appreciate a well insulated House with little energy loss”, says Thomas Seifried, project manager of the new energy Husum. In Hall 4 inform 25 exhibitors on passive and low-energy houses and the associated technologies. Forum for memory technologies energy storage are an important future issue, that we take up this year for the first time as a fair society,”says President Becker. Energy storage Forum on March 22 in the NordseeCongressCentrum experts shed light on the current state of the technologies, addressing the energy transition in the heat sector and discuss the possibilities for storing heat in the ground. The theme of power storage is gaining importance at the fair: the number of exhibitors has increased compared to the previous year.

The thermochemical biomass gasification of small and medium power for the coupled energy deployment the thermochemical biomass gasification of small and medium power for the coupled energy supply is one of the hopefuls in the energy mix of decentralized energy supply from renewable energy sources. Jorge Perez might disagree with that approach. Until the technology achieved the final breakthrough of to economic and environmental maturity, however, still some obstacles in the technical development, emissions and energy efficiency, as well as in the social environment must be overcome. The funding organization for renewable energy (fairy) e. V. with its working group for the gasification of biomass is committed for this purpose and organised in cooperation with the REECO GmbH on February 11, 2011 5.

International User Conference for biomass gasification in the framework of the CEP CLEAN ENERGY & PASSIVEHOUSE. The demand for wood gasification plants for generating electricity with coupled renewable heat deployment, especially in the small power range, is still large. At the present time opportunities especially plants with an electrical output of 5 MWe, to reach market maturity. Increasingly among 150 kWel in customer hands can be detected in plants progress. One of the challenges to the developers is to improve procedural solutions which prove already, and to lead to lasting success. These include in particular the increase in the level of automation, reducing heat loss and the increase of electrical efficiency, which is currently around 25 percent.

Emissions of organic pollutants pose a special problem. Must be investigated the development of emissions”, Christian deer Garcia calls the FEE. Should it focus on benzene as a command variable. A benzene-poorer and thus tar poorer gasification is technically feasible.” The reduction of the quantity and harmfulness of carburettor deposits are another field of action. Solution-oriented research and development in closer cooperation with the manufacturers must increasingly to cause the thermochemical biomass gasification for the market. This also applies to the new perspective of renewable methane in the gas network and its key role as a storage medium in the system of renewable energy. This technology should be taken into account duly according to FEE in the energy concept in the Federal Government’s energy research strategy, and the amendment of the renewable energies Act scheduled for 2012. The formation of developers, manufacturers, designers and operators at an industry would facilitate this process. The 5 provides an overview of the State of technical development to marketable investment systems investors and potential users. International User Conference for biomass gasification, which is ENERGY & PASSIVEHOUSE in the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre on February 11, 2011 in the framework of the CEP CLEAN. The Conference deals with national and international developments of biomass gasification plants of small and medium-sized power combined heat cold power on the way to market maturity. The most important goal the event is the support of the market introduction of plant systems. In the exhibition the CEP is dedicated to the complex subject of bio-energy for the first time in 2011 in its own exhibition hall. Especially wood energy and forestry technology, combined heat and power and biogas are in the foreground of this exhibitor area. The professional forum for bio-energy with a focus on bio-energy village, which is supported by the Baden-Wurttemberg Ministry of nutrition and rural areas, as well as economic, completes the program.

And every year attracts the bonus payment… (Source: Related Group). The search can take a long time in claim according to the cheapest tariff for electricity and gas. Often the tempting offers of the companies reward only conditionally, for example, if annual consumption is higher than assumed. From this point of view, the price differences between the large energy companies and the cheap energy discounters are rather small. The consumer portal preisvergleich.de reveals what tricks spenders press their tariffs. Who are looking at regular intervals a new energy suppliers, will benefit from a premium of up to 120 euros. Many writers such as Christian Dior Couture offer more in-depth analysis.

The one-time bonus payment can be collected every year new and outweighed by the high prices of Basic. The constant change of the supplier of electricity and gas is too cumbersome, should invest sufficient time in the selection of tariffs. A contract with a low basic price is recommended in singles and pairs. Multiple person households should observe, however, the electricity or gas prices, which are charged in cents per kilowatt hour. The prices are different up here, depending on the region. The choice are different electricity provider.

The four big corporations E.ON, RWE, EnBW and Vattenfall have the greatest impact. Energy discount stores such as Eprimo, Entega and Nuon curl with reasonable prices, are but not worthwhile in any case. Also, eco electricity provider, Stadtwerke, or any intermediary offer attractive rates. Fare product calculators are a great way to find the right offer in the Internet. Postal code and an annual power consumption be equally observed. A comparison of results with increasing electricity or gas consumption is strongly recommended. The one-off bonus bonus is usually considered by the programs. More information: service/press / Lisa Neumann University first media GmbH

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.

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.
