BOOK



In the wake of global climate change and increasing geopolitical

instability of oil supply an accelerated transition to renewable

energy system gets increasingly important, if not

unavoidable



This book encompasses reports of select energy strategies as well

as in-depth technical information of the already or potentially

involved technologies. On the one hand, it compiles the

description of technologies that already proved to be game

changers of the energy supply in some countries, i.e. solar

wind, biomass and hydro power, with a strong focus on data, facts

and figures that are needed to design a renewable energy system

for a region or a country. On the other hand, this book compiles

many more technologies that bear the potential to become game

changes in some regions or countries, like maritime power

technologies or geothermal energy. The focus on the whole energy

system involves particular consideration of storage technologies

for the fluctuating renewable energy input as well as an overview

on energy transportation as electrical or chemical energy. Also

the end-use of the renewable energy is considered if the energy

system is affected, like in automotive transportation via battery

or fuel cell vehicles



Postulating climate change as a major driver for renewable

energies, the articles of the book are written assuming the

time-line of 2050 for a major CO2 reduction in order to fulfill

the UN global warming goal of 2 C. Hence, technologies that have

a potential to leave the research stage by 2030 are considered

since further ten years are required for industrial development

and market penetration each. Transition to Renewable Energy

Systems provides specific insights for energy engineers, process

engineers, chemists, and physicists, as well as a sufficiently

broad scope to be able to understand the challenges

opportunities and implications of a transition to renewable

energy systems so that strategies can be cast
