NEGST
The overall objective of this project is to introduce more cost-effective solar thermal systems, particularly for domestic hot water preparation and/or space heating, to the market in order to contribute to the European Union’s Action Plans with regard to the reduction of CO2–emissions and the cost effective supply of renewable energies. In order to achieve […]
FEEt – Bestehende fossile oder teilfossile Fernwärmenetze – Einbindung von dezentraler Energie aus Erneuerbaren Energieträgern – Chancen und Hemmnisse
The net operators in the first instance primarily consider useful waste heat resources and only secondly about new plants. As a result of an interview with network operators a short-term potential (until 2006) of annual 569,000 MWh for the feed in of heat from renewable energy (incl. waste heat utilisation) in the network could be […]
SolProBat – Development of a Methodology for the Integration of Solar Thermal Process Heat in Batch Processes
Therefore, the development of a methodology to implement solar thermal energy into the heat generation system of a production site combined with possible heat recovery measures have been the aim of the project. The so called “Pinch – Analysis” is a powerful tool to determine the potential for internal heat recovery and was used in […]
MOSOL-NET: Development of a modular expandable technical solution, which enable solar supported heating networks in new buildings
Technical and economical applicable solutions for modular-expendable solar-supported heating networks for new buildings should be developed in the framework of this project. This should be done in cooperation with building developers, heat suppliers, public utility companies and technology providers (solar energy and biomass). Building developers are in general prepared to realise a central heat supply […]
Solar thermal systems for public bath facilities in Iran
Die IFCO (Iranien Federation for Conservation of Oil) eine staatliche Organisation plant ein Förderprogramm für die Nutzung thermischer Solarenergie und sucht nach Einsparpotenzialen beim Rohölverbrauch samt Reduzierung logistischer Kosten. Im Rahmen eines Projektes ist geplant, in den nächsten 5 Jahren 1000 Badhäuser in den wirtschaftlich schwachen Randgebieten der Ballungszentren mit Solaranlagen auszustatten. Zusätzlich sollen 200.000 […]
Solar heat for industrial processes, IEA SHC Task 33/IV
Das zentrale Ziel dieser internationalen Forschungskooperation ist die Erschließung industrieller Prozesswärme für solarthermische Anlagen. Dazu werden sowohl theoretische Grundlagen erarbeitet wie auch Komponenten und systemtechnische Konzepte entwickelt. Die Arbeit gliedert sich in folgende vier Teilaufgaben: Österreichische Beiträge: Die Nutzung von Solarenergie in Gewerbe- und Industriebetrieben ist in Österreich derzeit gegenüber der Nutzung im Schwimmbad- und […]
Zer0-M – Concepts towards a Zero Output Municipality
Several technologies are already available, which allow efficient wastewater treatment and re-use without hygienic risks on a low-cost and easy-to-handle level. These includes sanitation systems with low water consumption, separation of grey and black water, biological treatment of grey water and reuse for non-drinking purposes (e.g. irrigation), bio-membrane reactors for intense treatment, constructed wetlands for […]
Parabolic Trough Collector System for the Generation of Solar Process Heat (completed)
In 1998, industrial process heat accounted for 21% of the Austrian final energy consumption. Only 12% of this is currently supplied from renewable energy sources. Process heat up to a temperature level of approx. 100°C can be supplied by solar collectors currently on the market such as flat plate or evacuated tube collectors. A large […]
OPET Building
Buildings fulfil multiple purposes. They provide shelter and aim to create adequate working and living conditions for their inhabitants. Apart from these functional aspects, buildings serve as a means of cultural identification and social representation. To satisfy all these diverse expectations, financial, material and energy resources are required to construct and maintain a building. Despite […]
The Soltherm Europe Initiative – SOLTHERM
The declared goal of this project (EU programme Altener) triggered off the greater use of solar thermal plants at European level as a basis for the attainment of the goals of the EU white paper (100 million m² of collector area in the year 2010). A central internet platform was established at European level in […]
