Praxis solar- und windelelektrischer Energieversorgung: Practice of solar- and windelectric power supply
Abschätzungen des potentiellen Beitrages der erneuerbaren Energiequellen gehen davon aus, dass kurzfristig keine stark spürbare Entlastung der Energieversorgung zu erwarten ist. Wegen der großen Bedeutung der wirtschaftlichen Konkurrenzfähigkeit für die Markteinführung der neuen Technologien wurden in jüngster Zeit verstärkt Wirtschaftlichkeitsunte...
The European wind turbine data base EUROWIN contents technical data of about 600 different turbine types and about 1300 operating wind turbines in the European Community. On the basis of the information on operating turbines such as energy production, failures etc. and technical details from the manufacturers, the database is able to provide output...
This paper presents the results of research on the total costs to society of different technologies for electric power production in the Federal Republic of Germany. The analysis views electricity costs from a macroeconomic perspective and includes the internal or private costs as well as the social costs. The focus is on fossil and nuclear fuels a...
Market introduction of new energy technologies based on renewable energy sources as wind energy systems depends on the market price of the energy supplied by the new technologies. Since the competing conventional energy technologies are able to pass on to society a substantial part of their costs (external or social), renewable energy sources, whic...
The central obstacle for a widespread use of renewables are the relative prices of these forms of energy not their availability. The paper shows that the present prices of non-renewable energy sources are heavily subsidized by not including the costs of health and environmental damages as well as costs handed on to future generations. If these cost...
