Today, I had the honor of presenting the keynote "Smart and Green: the digitalized future energy system" at the #PGSEurope2024 Rolls-Royce Power Systems AG PowerGen Symposium. We discussed the path towards a decarbonized energy economy and what has already been achieved. The future of energy will rely on electrons, molecules (like hydrogen and synthetic gas), and #digitalization to manage system complexity. Key points for companies navigating this transformation: -> Enhance consumption #flexibility: Invest in load shifting and storage solutions (batteries, hydrogen). -> Leverage #digitalization and #DataScience: Enrich traditional products with information components to boost customer value. -> Invest in #innovation: Pursue both evolutionary and revolutionary innovations, especially for firms reliant on fossil fuels. One key point for politicians: -> Set a stable framework for investments in #windpower, #PV, #hydrogen, implementation of the #smartgrid, and acceleration of the grid expansion. 3DSE Management Consultants GmbH specializes in implementing innovation processes and developing breakthrough and business innovations. #EnergyTransition #Transformation #Digitalization #Innovation #Sustainability #3DSE

🔵☀️ To develop a low-cost, concentrated thermal and photovoltaic #cogeneration #system that increases the system’s electrical efficiency. ↪️ This is the aim of the Economic COgeneration by Efficiently COncentrated SUNlight (#ECOSUN) project, in which the Heat and Mass Transfer Technology Center (CTTC - UPC | Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - Centre Tecnològic de Transferència de Calor) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya has participated. The new system reduces the absorption temperature of solar radiation by utilising the residual heat obtained from cooling the photovoltaic modules, to meet the thermal needs for heating or cooling through an absorption machine.
