The potentials and challenges of the transition to renewable energy for industrial companies will be highlighted during the upcoming DTU High Tech Summit, where the latest research results in the field will be presented.
EnergyLab Nordhavn accolated for its innovative approach to developing the future intelligent and integrated energy system.
Drying is used in many industrial processes, for example in food production, and drying processes account for a substantial part of energy consumption in the industry. Now, the SteamReg project has developed and tested a new technology for energy recovery from drying air—a solution which can reduce energy costs by 50 per cent.
In industry, there are many sources of low-temperature heat—heat which is often found in connection with waste products such as the hot exhaust gases from a ship’s combustion engine. This waste heat can be used to produce electricity by employing a special technology.
Sunshine from a cloudless sky, as we have experienced it these past days, provides the ideal conditions for a Concentrating Solar Power plant, CSP. At DTU Mechanical Engineering, PhD student Anish Modi is at the moment working on improvements of CSP plants, a technology different from the more known solar cells.
