8Advanced Technologies in Integrated Energy Systems
Vellore Institute of Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India
Abstract
Worldwide energy shortage problems can be overcome by integrated energy systems (IES), which maximize the efficiency of energy supply. Integrated energy systems combine the electric power technology, distributing energy technology and thermal technologies to provide heating, cooling, and humidity control by utilizing thermal wastage from power plants and furnace-based industries. This technology can be utilized in commercial and institutional buildings but in limited fashion, because in summer time not much heat is required. By introducing the Thermal Activated Technologies (TAT) device, temperature and humidity can be controlled in a building. Therefore, IES along with Combined Heat and Power (CHP) can reduce the air pollutants, carbon emission and enhance the system’s efficiency. The way heating, cooling, air conditioning, lighting and power loads are treated the IES will get success. Research and Development focuses on component and equipment integration, modular machine development, machine integration with grid and buildings. Furthermore, energy analysis underpins the majority of the analysis undertaken for intermittent renewable energy and integrated energy systems. Reducing the exergy losses in components like PV surface modules, wind rotor, and boilers significantly increases quality of energy. This chapter focuses on the ...
