| Advertorial feature Transforming our energy systems for a sustainable future
After all has been said, let’s get the transformation done.
There is little doubt left about what must be done to mitigate the risks from global warming. Also from a geo- political standpoint, the transition to renewable energies is imperative to ensure that human life and welfare can cope with the limited resources of our planet.
This energy transition will however take many years, and current fossil technology will coexist with the renewables for a considerable amount of time. The future energy supply will very probably consist of a wide spectrum of generation and storage technologies that will need to be customized for regional availability of energy sources and storage options, and optimized together with the local demand patterns to create a reliable and cost-effective solution.
Energy means both, power and heat, and available at times when needed.
Let’s not be overly optimistic and simplistic about our solutions, as it seems that there is no single solution for meeting our demand for power and heat, even in the long term. In order to make the energy transition viable, it must find the most economic solution
while meeting the demand, and this will very probably lead to a wide spectrum of generation and storage technologies that is customized for regional energy sources and storage options. For evaluating all options, detailed process simulation is key to ensure the technical feasibility of the proposed approaches and to understand their economics in their interplay of generation and storage.
EBSILON® Professional Release 16
has been expanded by new functionality to allow for in-depth analysis of new solutions. EBSILON®
Professional is a
comprehensive heat balance software that allows for in-depth thermodynamic analysis of complex energy systems benefiting from more than 25 years of continuous development and hundreds of users in the power industry, at utilities and in academic research.
Storage modelling which was already present for tanks and batteries has been expanded for new components for bulk material storage and phase- change materials.
Hydrogen as a fuel for gas turbines has been accounted for by expanding the Gas Turbine Library for EBSILON with OEM ratings and correction curve
information at H2 volume contents of up to 85%.
The time series calculation available in EBSILON has been expanded with a powerful interface to MS Excel to facilitate the evaluation of long- term scenarios for renewable energy generation and storage.
With components covering generation from wind, solar, biomass, waste and traditional fossil energy sources, as well as various options to model heat pumps and power-to-gas applications on top of the ‘classic’ power generation portfolio, EBSILON offers the perfect solution to simulate and analyse all possible combinations in a single model. Together with its superior usability and convergence qualities and state-of-the-art interfaces to engineering tools such as python, EBSILON paves the way to finding the best solutions towards a sustainable future energy system.
ENEXSA cooperates with STEAG Energy Services in the development of EBSILON and offers customized application-specific training seminars as well as modelling services for all kinds of power generation processes.
