Other than "negative emissions" with CCS or biomass, which have clear limits in potentials, costs and environmental benefits, storage and energy conversion technologies like power-to-gas and power-to-x enable the decarbonization by neutralizing the CO2 footprint of all energy services. Via the conversion of renewable electricity into chemical energy carriers like renewable hydrogen or renewable hydrocarbons, the existing fossil infrastructure with vast and sufficient storage and transport capacities can be used with carbon neutral renewable energy. After showing the demand for storage technologies, the technology components of power-to-gas are described, building the basis for the storage system power-to-gas itself that is described in detail, including efficiency, potential, CO2 emissions, and costs. In conclusion, a technical pathway of decarbonization including costs is described for the industrial nation of Germany and necessary policy frameworks are derived.}, language = {en} } @incollection{StrohmayerBrueckl, author = {Strohmayer, Bernhard and Br{\"u}ckl, Oliver}, title = {Systemvergleich von Netzausbauoptionen in Niederspannungsnetzen}, series = {3.

Dem Netzbetreiber stehen mittlerweile viele Losungsmaßnahmen zur Behebung des Spannungsbandproblems zur Verf{\"u}gung Innovative Konzepte wie der regelbare Ortsnetztransformator (RONT) oder Blindleistungsregelung sind bereits serienreif und werden eingesetzt. Unklarheit herrscht oft noch dar{\"u}ber, welche Maßnahmen bzw Kombinationen langfristig wirtschaftlich g{\"u}nstig sind und sich hinsichtlich der Netzplanung als vorteilhaft erweisen. Ein Forschungsprojekt an der Ostbayerischen Technischen Hochschule Regensburg untersucht verschiedene L{\"o}sungsmaßnahmen systematisch, um sie wirtschaftlich, technisch und energetisch bewerten zu k{\"o}nnen. In 20 Netzen wird in diskreten Schritten die Integration von Erzeugungskapazit{\"a}t am Beispiel der PV simuliert. Der Zubau umfasst den Bereich von 0-100\% des m{\"o}glichen Dachfl{\"a}chenpotenzials. Nach jedem Zubauschritt wird die maximale Spannungsanhebung berechnet. Bei {\"U}berschreiten einer Spannungsanhebung in H{\"o}he der in [VDE, FNN Erzeugungsanlagen am Niederspannungsnetz, VDE-AR-N 4105:2011-08] verankerten drei Prozentpunkte, oder der Stromtragf{\"a}higkeitsgrenze eines Betriebsmittels erfolgt ein Netzausbau. Dabei werden die Optionen RONT, die Parallelverkabelung, drei Stufen des Einspeisemanagements (Spitzenkappung auf 85\%, 70\% und 55\%), die Blindleistungsregelung (cosφ(P)), der Zubau von zus{\"a}tzlichen Ortsnetzstationen und die Verwendung von Strangreglern untersucht. Je kleiner das Ortsnetz, desto st{\"a}rker bedingt sich die Kostenentwicklung durch die gew{\"a}hlte Prim{\"a}rmaßnahme. Klassischer Netzausbau ist in kleinen Netzen meist teurer als der Einsatz von RONT oder Strangreglern. In gr{\"o}ßeren Netzen k{\"o}nnen Parallelverkabelung oder zus{\"a}tzliche ONS zu g{\"u}nstigen Ausbaupfaden f{\"u}hren. Maßnahmen die anfangs nahezu keine Investition in Netzbetriebsmittel ben{\"o}tigen (Einspeisemanagement, Blindleistungsregelung) sind initial mit Abstand am g{\"u}nstigsten. Im Mittel g{\"u}nstiger als RONT sind anfangs auch Verkabelung und Strangregler, jedoch bei h{\"o}herer Ergebnisstreuung. Bereits nach f{\"u}nf Perioden liegen die mittleren Gegenwartswerte f{\"u}r starke Spitzenkappung, Blindleistungsregelung und zus{\"a}tzliche ONS h{\"a}ufig {\"u}ber der Maßnahme RONT. Die geringste Kostenstreuung tritt beim Einsatz von RONT auf. Mittel- und langfristig liegen die Mediane fast aller Prim{\"a}rmaßnahmen {\"u}ber den wahrscheinlich auftretenden Kosten f{\"u}r Strangregler und RONT. Bei Erschließung von zus{\"a}tzlichen 25\% des theoretisch maximalen Potenzials nach Erreichen der NAK betragen die Kosten bei RONT-Einsatz ca. 125/kWp. Parallelverkabelung verursacht rd. 45, Blindleistungsregelung rd. 55 €/kWp Mehrkosten. Bei 50\% des Ausbaupotenzials f{\"u}hren Parallelverkabelung und Blindleistungsregelung mit im Mittel 50 bzw. 75 €/kWp sogar zu noch h{\"o}heren Mehrkosten.

With this fact in mind, a 250 W Low Head turbine system was developed and optimized to have the advantage of the simplicity of installation and a construction from readily available materials. This design scores the electrical efficiency of 60\%, reduces manufacturing unit coast to 130 € and takes into account the necessity of providing a clear and simple manual describing the manufacturing and installation.
