Geo Vi Be The German "Energiewende" ElectricitySolelyFromRenewable Resources?
Contents • Introduction • Boundaryconditionsandpresumptions • Simulation • Results • Conclusions
Introduction • CO2causesGreenhouseeffect • Germany isoneofthebiggest CO2emittents • Countermeasure: „Energiewende“
Annual energyconsumtion in Germany • 1202 TWh for heating • 718 TWh for fuels • 600 TWhelectrical energy
Presentsourcesforelectricalenergy • Total average power: 70.0 GW • Total energy: 600 TWh
Renewableelectricalenergy • Annual total energy: 157.4 TWh
Boundaryconditionsandpresumptions • Presumptions: • Continuouslyincreasingshareofrenewableenergy • Chemical energystorageby H2 via electrolysis H2 tank Electrolyser Gas turbine 2 H2O -> O2 + 2 H2, Dh = +571,8 kJ/mol
Boundaryconditionsandpresumptions • Leadingquestions: • Optimum layoutofphotovoltaics, wind and (biomass + water power)? • Requiredpeakpowers? • Maximum energystorage? • Required power forelectrolysersand gas turbines?
Boundaryconditionsandpresumptions • Realisticelectricityconsumptionprofile • Power: 32 – 94 GW • Total annualenergy: 600 TWh Winter Summer Maximum load Power Maximum load Average load Average load Basic load Basic load Time Time
Characteristicsofrenewables • Water Capacityfullyused • Bio mass Ethicalproblems, onlywasteshouldbeused • Geothermal energy Small scale • Wind Public resistance • Photovoltaics Expensive, smallefficiency
Assumptionsforweather • Annual numberofdepressions: 20 (period: 18 ¼ days) • Amplitude sun power: 15 – 100 % • Amplitude wind power: 0 – 100 % • Seasonaldistributionof wind power: Between 5 % in June and 12 % in December • Phase shiftbetweenmaximumsunlightandmaximum wind: p/2 = 4 ½ days • Day length: 7 – 17 hrs
Simulation with Excel • 1 hr per line = 8760 linesforoneyear • Cosinus interpolationbetweenthecurves
Simulation ofsun power • Presentsunpower: • Heigthofsunoverhorizon (0 duringnighttime) • Multipliedwithweatherfactor
Simulation of wind power • Present wind power: • Weatherfactor • Multipliedbyseasonal wind factor
Overlayofsimulationresults • Required power • Minus presentsun power • Minus presentwind power • Minus permanent power Water+ Bio mass = 22.8 GW • Equals • Electrolyser power (when negative) • Auxiliary gas power (when positive)
