Future Renewable Energy Technology

This article discusses future renewable energy technology. Topics include onshore wind, marine and wave technologies, and thermal energy storage systems. The REmap is an international reference case developed based on national plans of 40 countries. Table 1 summarizes generation of renewable energy technology by sector for the year 3013/2014. The data in the table is based on the REmap and the IRENA reference case. This article does not purport to be comprehensive, but should be of some help in understanding the technology that will be required to produce energy in the future.

Thermal energy storage systems

Crushed rock heat storage systems are emerging as a viable and cost-effective solution for long- duration heat storage. Crushed rock can be used for large-scale storage of heat and electricity, and can be reused by industries, buildings, and the grid. A 30-MW/130-MWh ETES prototype was recently launched in Hamburg by Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy. … Read More

Renewable Energy Technology Development

A number of renewable energy technologies are being explored today, including distributed generation, wind repowering, and recycling energy storage batteries. A key goal is to promote renewable energy technology development and the corresponding market growth. Financial incentives for renewable energy development and utilization are important, as they can lower up- front investment commitments and encourage design innovation. However, many obstacles still stand in the way of such development. In this article, we will discuss some key topics and their potential solutions.

Distributed generation

The development of distributed generation in renewable energy technology has several key benefits. These include the ability to supply remote regions with power, solving local supply issues, ensuring back-up supply during grid failures, reducing peak loads, providing diverse energy products, combining cooling and heating capabilities, and improving integrated utilization efficiency. Additionally, distributed generation improves power factor and reduces power loss. As a result, distributed generation is an … Read More
