Introduction to future energy

Description

The background and the challenges in relation to the energy system are outlined with a view to climate, resources and security of supply. Key concepts and principles of thermodynamics and electrochemistry necessary to discuss and understand energy technologies are presented. The most important energy sources and their technologies for exploitation are introduced (i.e., solar, wind, hydro power, biomass and nuclear). Energy conversion and storage is treated as a means for handling energy on the large scale. It covers physical and in particular chemical storage (electrolyzers, fuel cells, power-to-X concepts, batteries) Not applicable together with: 47214
