An Integrated System Approach to Energy and Sustainability
Access to clean energy and water in nations and communities worldwide who aim to achieve sustainable development is among the top challenges of this century. In addition, the global interest in renewable energy technologies has peaked over the past few years due to escalating energy prices and mounting public concern over the environment. Another emerging challenge is the continued dependence on foreign sources of energy which causes a threat to national energy security.
In this workshop, the role that renewable energy technology will play to help resolve these critical issues will be discussed.
- Wind
- Solar Photovoltaic
- Lithium-ion Battery
- Fuel Cells
- Hydrogen Production and Storage
It will be shown how these technologies can be effectively integrated to create reliable, clean hybrid energy systems and why they are crucial to the development of the hydrogen economy. These technologies and novel strategies will ultimately usurp conventional energy production and distribution methods transforming our energy infrastructure and lead us to a sustainable energy future.
Integration of Fuel Cells in Technical Applications and Renewable Energy Systems
Fuel cells convert hydrogen directly into electricity with water as the only pollutant. An overview of fuel cell technology in general is given:
- how do fuel cells work (principles)
- what are the operational conditions
- what are the challenges and chances of using fuel cells in technical applications
- what is hybridization and which challenges have to be met my mechanical and electrical engineers.
A series of fuel cell powered technical applications is provided (where fuel cells are widely used today and tomorrow) with many practical examples.
Based on the NEXA® Training System, some essential points regarding the integration of fuel cells into a technical application are discussed and possibilities to optimize the implementation of a fuel cell (here: 1.2 kW system) in an own application such as a car, an off-grid power supply or emergency power supply are given.
Moreover, the latest fuel cell training systems for schools, for colleges, universities and Research Centers. Practical Applications will be discussed and a complete New Energy Laboratory is introduced.
Integration of such fuel cells in New Energy Hybrid Systems (Solar + Wind + Fuel Cell in combination with conventional energies) will be shown and discussed.
