"Seven Thüga partners test house fuel cells (24/10/2013)

Started Nationwide everyday use

The fuel cell heating technology has arrived at the local utilities. Since the spring to participate nationwide seven partners of the Thüga group of everyday testing with fuel cell type Elcore 2400th Thüga has approximately 100 municipal utilities the largest network of municipal power and water service providers in Germany. First, the ESWE in Wiesbaden and the Nova bath installed in Freiburg, each one selected customers a household fuel cell heating. Now further installations at customers follow the Halberstadt works, Stadtwerke Langenfeld, the Stadtwerke Stade, Thüga energy networks in Schifferstadt and Stadwerke Pforzheim. "The fuel cell has great potential on the way to a sustainable energy future. We want to make a contribution, "said the board member Michael Thüga Riechel.

The small natural gas-powered fuel cell heating appliances manufacturer Elcore are about as big as a hot water heater and cover the annual base load electricity needs of an average family house of about 2,400 kilowatt hours. Thus creating the so-called add-up to half of current and up to a third of the heat demand of a household. The remaining heat is covered by a gas heater, the spare power over the network. Thus, the wall-mounted units achieve a high overall efficiency. On average, at least 40 percent less primary energy to be expended for the same useful energy. The voltage applied to one year of test series Thüga partner companies will now show whether these values ??in everyday use have on hand and how much electricity and heat actually deliver the equipment to the total supply of house maintenance.

If sleeping in the mountain wind.

Plans for an underground pumped storage power station in the Harz have caused nationwide interest - even if currently funding is politically controversial. Aboveground water power plants consume a lot of space. So why not energy - for example from wind power - cache in an abandoned mine? In a pumped storage plant, water is pumped to a higher ground pool by excess electrical energy. If electricity is needed, the water rushes with great pressure down - in the resin that would be up to 700 meters - and drives turbines and generators. In St. Andrew Berg resin energy produced now renewable energy from hydropower in a former silver mine.

Power-to-gas process brings the energy transition on track

What is in Frankfurt, and bring the energy transition on track? Our first power-to-gas demonstration plant.

The shares for the climate policy objectives of the federal government are good. For the power-to-gas demonstration plant in Frankfurt working on solving the great problem of how to store renewable energy from wind and sun, environmentally friendly and efficient.

Storage of renewable energies

The plant with high efficiency is one with which 13 of about 100 organized in the Thüga Group local energy and water providers ahead of many projects, the energy transition. Together they invest - under one roof - in the expansion of renewable energies. For a definite plus for people, nature and the environment. For the big plus for all.

The following companies will build the power-to-gas plant in Frankfurt and operate:

badenova AG & Co. KG , natural resources Sachsen GmbH , power supply means Rhein GmbH , natural gas schwaben GmbH , e-rp GmbH , ESWE public utilities , gas supply Westerwald GmbH , Mainova AG , Stadtwerke Ansbach GmbH , Stadtwerke Bad Hersfeld GmbH , Thüga energy networks GmbH , WEMAG AG and Thüga Aktiengesellschaft

"Project "Micro-CHP in Bottrop": application phase completed 22.10.2013

• Over 200 applications • Documents are checked • Data collection for the project "cogeneration model community" begins

Bottrop, 22 October 2013 - The application period for the project "Micro-CHP in Bottrop" since the early 18th Completed in October 2013. About 200 property owners signed up for the project, which is carried out by the City Innovation Management GmbH and the project partners, gas and heat-Essen Institute and the University of Western Ruhr.

The aim is to provide 100 residential buildings with modern micro-CHP systems to test these systems and to optimize their operation in order to save fossil fuels. The participants will get the heating system at an attractive special price.

The applications received are now being reviewed and the participants informed in writing whether their object for the project comes into question.

Another focus of the project "cogeneration model community" of innovation Ruhr. There, the data collection will start in the coming days in the project area in Rheinbaben. The residents are project ambassador there to accurate information about the project and raise fuel consumption and building data. From the data obtained, a detailed concept for decentralized power and heat supply is developed in the city district, with which the city of Bottrop advertises in a competition of the NRW state government.

Sounds like 200 Bluegens?
