Sustainable Energy Technology

1. Sustainable EnergyTechnology

2. Sustainable energy and our society • Global warming • Depletion of fossil fuels • Very large time scales We have to take our responsibility for our future now!

3. Simulation with climate model

4. Fossil fuel reserves • Proven reserves • Coal: 250 year • Oil: 50 year • Natural gas: 60 year Possible reserves: 500 year (based on the present consumption )

5. Energy scenario’s

6. The SD vision scenario from the IEA

9. Fossil fuels • Global warming • Rise of the sea level Kyoto protocol 1997: • Industrialised countries • Reduction of green house gases 2008-2012 with 5% (1990)  Sustainable energy

10. Sustainable energy in the Netherlands • The Dutch targets for the year 2020 • 2% reduction in energy consumption per year • 30 % reduction of CO2 emission • 20 % sustainable energy • Policy • Stimulate technological developments • Give subsidies for: Energy savings Green investments • Forcing: Force the electricity suppliers to deliver green electricity

11. Inzet wind • ca. 1500 wind turbines in the Netherlands (1% of total) • Wind energy about 3x more expensive as conventional supply

12. Solar energy • Incoming radiation is about 50 times our energy demand. • Direct energy saving • Relatively expensive

13. Solar Storage of solar energy Biomass!

14. Organic material from plant and trees created by photosynthesis Biomass Closed cycle Biomass for energy is CO2 neutral

15. Master Sustainable Energy Technology TU Eindhoven officially started in June 2005 with an approved master program. In April 2006 upgraded to a national master program (TUE/TUDelft/UT) Combination between technical (75%) and social sciences (25%), contrary to Utrecht (25 % technical, 75% social) Comparable programs in Oldenburg, Stockholm, Leeds en Reading

16. program objectives Domain-specific requirements Broad: Have disciplinary theoretical and technical knowledge (broad) able to evaluate conventional and sustainable energy systems in integrated electrical system context able to evaluate sustainable energy systems in the societal context able to design energy systems able to analyze and understand the socio- technical nature of system innovations Deep: expert in at least one sub-area

17. The core courses Energy from biomass Solar energy Wind energy Electrical power engineering and system integration Hydrogen technology System innovation and stategic nich management 24 EC

18. introductory course: Technology for sustainable development courses to reach adequate basic levels in mathematics, physics, chemistry and design engineering: Transport phenomena Energy systems Chemical reactor engineering Design methodology courses to reach adequate basic levels in social sciences: Energy and economy Technology for sustainable development

19. system integration projects (6+9 EC): ‘System integration projects 1 and 2’ (Can be replaced by an Internship) elective courses (15 EC): Courses in preparation of the graduation project graduation project (45 EC): In one of the following topics: Solar Energy, Wind energy, Biomass, Hydrogen, Intelligent electricity networks and Transition policy

20. System integration projects: Formulated in cooperation with ECN TNO EDON ENECO Energie Delfland ENW EnergieNed EPON GASTEC KEMA Shell Stork First integration project: Project-led education (as in the CTW bachelor education). Second integration project: individual hands-on experience in the design, analysis or application of an energy system or in the exploration of new research questions. problem oriented in the form of a research assignment. Or an internship: ‘Energy related’, at one of these companies, or at Essent, Nuon, BTG, etc.

21. Focus at 3TU

22. Focus …..

23. Research groups on: • Thermal conversion of biomass (v.d. Meer, v Swaaij, Lefferts) • Bio-refinery (De Haan, Van Swaaij......) • Membrane-based energy production (Wessling) • Integrated reactor technology (Kuipers) • Use of sustainable energy in consumer products and in buildings (Brouwers, Van Houten) • Water Power Generation (Hulscher) • Design and production with light weight and smart materials (Akkerman) • Gas technology (Wolters) • Engineering fluid dynamics (Hoeijmakers)
