Energy Generation
With the technologies available today, it is possible to use renewable energy virtually anywhere. The following are the technical possibilities to convert the energy supply of the earth into heat and/or electricity. We distinguish between self-sufficient energy supply of buildings and energy generation for micro-grid applications.
For the self-sufficient supply of buildings we use:
• Earth-coupled heat pumps of near-surface geothermal energy for heating and cooling of buildings
• Geothermal storage. They enable the combination of geothermal energy with other energy sources, such as solar energy
• Solar thermal energy as an energy source for heating of buildings and via sorption technology for cooling of buildings
• Photovoltaic and wind energy for electricity generation for the internal power supply of building services
• Hydropower for power generation for the internal power supply of building services, as well as for heating and cooling supply
• Environmental heat as a source of heat pumps for heating and cooling of buildings
• Process heat for heating of buildings
For Energy generation for isolated and micro-grid applications up to 10 MW, we use:
