"The birth of a European Distributed EnErgy Partnership that will help the large-scale implementation of distributed energy resources in Europe"

A DER system includes a generator (possibly with storage), as well as, optionally: a grid connection system, an energy management system, a communication interface (possibly with intelligent web agent software).

DER generator technologies can be new, improved fossil fuel technologies such as engines, turbines and Stirling engines, as well as, by extension, combined heat and power and fuel cells (when fuelled with fossil primary energy sources).

In addition, some DER generator technologies are also Renewable Energy Sources (RES) technologies, such as wind mills, micro-hydroelectric turbines, photovoltaic arrays. RES technologies have a high potential to provide a sustainable electric power supply. However, currently they are making a disappointingly small contribution of around 6% to the EU-15 overall gross inland energy consumption, two-thirds of which (4%) represents the contribution of hydropower. The total figure equates to around 14% of EU electricity generation.

ano fajny i dosc interesujacy projekt. Przy czym nie rozumiem czemu wywolany teraz do tablicy - wystartowa juz pare ladnych lat temu, skonczy sie dopiero w 2009...

ale moze ma to cos wpolnego z tym ze wlasnie sie udalo sie przejsc pomyslenie przez EC midterm review? ;-)

pozdrowienia,
EU-DEEP Task Force leader ;-)

Power Conversion Unit (PCU)

The PCU converts the focused solar thermal energy into grid-quality electricity. The conversion process in the PCU involves a closed-cycle, high-efficiency four-cylinder, reciprocating Solar Stirling Engine utilizing an internal working fluid that is recycled through the engine. The Solar Stirling Engine operates with heat input from the sun that is focused by the SunCatcher’s™ dish assembly mirrors onto the PCU's solar receiver tubes which contain hydrogen gas. The PCU solar receiver is an external heat exchanger that absorbs the incoming solar thermal energy. This heats and pressurizes the gas in the heat exchanger tubing, and this gas in turn powers the Solar Stirling Engine.

A generator is connected to the Solar Stirling Engine; and produces the grid-quality electrical output of the SunCatcher™. Waste heat from the engine is transferred to the ambient air via a radiator system similar to those used in automobiles. The gas is cooled by a radiator system and is continually recycled within the engine during the power cycle. The conversion process does not consume water, as is required by most thermal-powered generating systems.
