Aenert news. Technological innovationsDie Steigerung der Effizienz von Solarzellen ist eines der drängendsten Probleme in der Solarenergie. Trotz der rasanten Entwicklung erneuerbarer Energien kann sie weltweit immer noch nur etwa die Hälfte des neuen Energiebedarfs decken. Der geringe Wirkungsgrad von Windkraftanlagen und Solarpaneelen ermöglicht es nicht, einen mit fossilen Brennstoffen...

Aenert news. Energy TrendsTraditionsgemäß haben die Herausgeber des MIT Technology Review des Massachusetts Institute of Technology kürzlich eine neue Liste der 10 wichtigsten Technologien für 2024 veröffentlicht . Die vollständige Liste umfasst in der Reihenfolge ihrer Erwähnung: KI für alles, supereffiziente Solarzellen, Apple Vision Pro, Medikamente zur Gewichtsreduktion,...

Aenert. Research Laboratory newsGeothermal energy is a type of renewable power which is found deep underneath the Earth. Other than wind and solar power, geothermal power does not require large surface facilities or produce harmful CO2 emissions. Traditional geothermal plants use water from reservoirs located deep underground to power turbines which then generate electricity. However, this...

Aenert. Research Laboratory newsModern energy systems are becoming ever more complex and interdependent. In order to prepare them for the full transition to green energy production and enable operation at full capacity, you have to have a precise understanding of how the interdependencies work, model and analyse them carefully so that your can monitor and control them properly. Nowadays if, for...

Tidal energy is a very abundant source of energy which has the potential to power many homes around the globe. It is produced by the natural rise and fall of tides caused by the gravitational interaction between the earth, the sun, and the moon. Tidal currents with sufficient energy for harvesting occur whenever water passes through a constriction which causes the water to move faster. With the help of special generators placed in the...

Aenert news. Energy TrendsGas-to-Liquid-Technologien (GTL) haben mehrere Phasen langer und relativ erfolgreicher Entwicklung sowie eine ziemlich entwickelte Infrastruktur für ihre Anwendung. Einerseits belegen die mittlerweile lange Betriebsgeschichte großer GTL-Anlagen in Katar, Südafrika, Malaysia und Nigeria die Attraktivität dieser Technologie, andererseits aber auch hohe...

Lithium is a mineral which occurs naturally and constitutes about 0.0007 percent of the Earth's crust. Lithium is contained in minerals and salts of natural brines which can be found underground or in seawater. Lithium can also form a byproduct of hydraulic fracturing. There it is mostly contained in fracturing fluids. Such brines and produced water also show high concentrations of rare earth elements and metals. Since the 1990s,...

Wind energy is without doubt one of the most important resources for achieving a cleaner and more sustainable energy industry. It is small wonder, therefore, that many countries around the world are continuously increasing their wind capacities to reduce the negative impacts of a fossil fuel-dependent energy industry. The US, for example, witnessed a significant growth in wind energy in 2020, according to the Office of Energy...

Aenert news. Invention analysisIntroduction Der zunehmende Einsatz von Wasserstoff in der modernen Energieversorgung ist eine Voraussetzung für den Übergang zu kohlenstoffarmen Formen der Energieerzeugung und des Energieverbrauchs. Wasserstoff ist vor allem deshalb einzigartig, weil er sowohl als umweltfreundlicher Kraftstoff als auch als Medium zur Energiespeicherung genutzt werden...

Geothermal energy is among the most sustainable sources of energy found on this planet. The hot water which can be found in the earth crust at a depth of about 5000 metres already has a temperature of about 200 degrees Celsius and can be pumped to the surface where it may be used to generate electricity via a steam turbine or to heat buildings with the help of heat pumps. The spent water is then returned to the earth crust through a...
