Europe and the Challenge of Energy Security: Limitations and Strategies
The increasing dependence of European Union member countries on imported oil and gas has led to concerns about energy supply and security. At the same time the share of clean energy in Europe’s energy consumption basket is increasing due to environmental issues. About a quarter of all energy consumption in the EU is natural gas, and most EU member states import almost all of their energy resou...
متن کاملiDataCool: HPC with Hot-Water Cooling and Energy Reuse
iDataCool is an HPC architecture jointly developed by the University of Regensburg and the IBM Research and Development Lab Böblingen. It is based on IBM’s iDataPlex platform, whose air-cooling solution was replaced by a custom water-cooling solution that allows for cooling water temperatures of 70◦C/158◦F. The system is coupled to an adsorption chiller by InvenSor that operates efficiently at ...
متن کاملDistributed Energy Storage Using Residential Hot Water Heaters
This paper proposes and analyses a new demand response technique for renewable energy regulation using smart hot water heaters that forecast water consumption at an individual dwelling level. Distributed thermal energy storage has many advantages, including high overall efficiency, use of existing infrastructure and a distributed nature. In addition, the use of a smart thermostatic controller e...
متن کاملThe biodiversity challenge: expanded hot-spots analysis.
This paper aims to throw light on the mass extinction that is overtaking Earth's species. Using an analytic methodology developed for an earlier partial assessment, it focuses on a series of "hotspot" areas, these being areas that a) feature exceptional concentrations of species with high levels of endemism and b) face exceptional threats of destruction. The paper identifies another 8 such ar...
متن کاملThe Emerging Energy Web
There is a general need of elaborating energy-effective solutions for managing our increasingly dense interconnected world. The problem should be tackled in multiple dimensions -technology, society, economics, law, regulations, and politicsat different temporal and spatial scales. Holistic approaches will enable technological solutions to be supported by socio-economic motivations, adequate inc...
