A promising tool to achieve more flexibility within power systems is demand re-sponse (DR). End-users in many strands of industry have been subject to research up to now regarding the opportunities for implementing DR programmes. One sector that has received little attention from the literature...

Conventional wastewater treatment plants consume significant amounts of electricity. The constant aeration of the wastewater in order to foster the growth of microorganisms or the pumping of wastewater are two examples for energy-intensive processes within a plant. Case studies have shown that...

Grüner Wasserstoff aus erneuerbaren Energien soll künftig fossile Energieträger in bestimmten Anwendungen in der Industrie und im Verkehr ersetzen, die nicht direkt elektrifizierbar sind. Laut Nationaler Wasserstoffstrategie soll ein Teil des künftigen Wasserstoffbedarfs inländisch durch...

Der Ersatz fossiler durch erneuerbare Energieträger ist ein wesentlicher Baustein der Energiewende. In bestimmten Bereichen soll künftig grüner Wasserstoff eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Dies geht auch aus der überarbeiteten Nationalen Wasserstoffstrategie hervor, die die Bundesregierung...

Replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources is one cornerstone of the energy transition. In certain sectors, green hydrogen will play an important role in the future, as is envisioned in the revised National Hydrogen Strategy recently presented by the German Federal Government. This...

Increasing the use of heat pumps is an important measure for reducing carbon emissions in the heating sector as well as natural gas imports. This report uses an electricity sector model to investigate the effects of an accelerated expansion of the heat pump stock on the German electricity sector...

Die verstärkte Nutzung von Wärmepumpen ist eine wichtige Maßnahme zur Senkung der CO2-Emissionen im Wärmesektor. Zudem können Wärmepumpen dazu beitragen, die Importe von Erdgas zu reduzieren. Mit Hilfe eines Stromsektormodells werden die Auswirkungen eines beschleunigten Ausbaus von...
