Thanks to a political and social consensus, renewable energy sources are increasingly coming to the fore in the general energy supply in Germany and, of course, in industry. Fossil fuels such as coal and gas will hardly play a role in the future due to the energy transition. Compared to the power plant technology of past decades, future energy sources are less easy to plan. This requires a technical and planning rethink in the design of energy generation plants.<\/p>\n

Power-to-Heat concepts for greater energy efficiency<\/a><\/h4>\n

When using renewable energy sources, large fluctuations are the rule, so it is never reliably predictable when there will be a particularly large amount of renewable energy available and when a shortage is to be expected. Power-to-X systems, which convert any surplus energy into heat (power-to-heat) or hydrogen (power-to-gas), are best suited to managing surplus phases. In both systems, the plants for industry are designed to make the energy usable as effectively as possible and, depending on current demand, to be able to cover peaks without significant energy losses. “Energy to go”, so to speak, almost as effective and environmentally friendly as renewable energy from water, the earth or photovoltaics, despite the high electrical output.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1722937624721{margin-top: 20px !important;}”]Heat pumps and heat storage<\/strong><\/p>\n

Generating heat from electricity, for example using the power of heat pumps including heat storage or similar technologies, has a very poor reputation, especially in direct comparison with the use of renewable energies in the grid. However, this is changing completely in the context of the energy transition when we are dealing with surplus electricity, as is often the case in large grids, for example from municipal utilities. With a power-to-heat system, excess electricity can be converted into heat energy with almost no energy loss by using a heat storage unit, and this is completely CO2-neutral and can be used immediately. Whether for the use of surplus electricity from municipal utility networks, as a feed-in to the district heating supply or as a backup in the heating process, Kraftanlagen offers you the green solution for heat and steam generation in a power-to-heat system. And for every area of industry.<\/p>\n

The expansion of renewable energies and the shutdown of conventional thermal power plants are increasingly leading to large energy surpluses in the electricity grids, which can be compensated for by power-to-heat (P2H) or power-to-gas (P2G) and conversion into green heat. The term “heat transition” is becoming increasingly important in this context, as large quantities of heat and steam that were previously produced as waste heat in the power plants are lost as a result of the shutdown. While power-to-heat plants convert electricity into heat, power-to-gas technology stores energy by converting it into hydrogen.<\/p>\n

The use of electrode boilers makes it possible to convert renewable electrical energy into heat and steam quickly, efficiently, and in large quantities. The electrode boiler is connected via a medium-voltage connection and can generate heat compactly and as required with the help of immersion electrodes, a regulated water level and the applied voltage.<\/p>\n

These processes are becoming increasingly popular in industry in Germany. This is because they make a valuable contribution to saving energy, as both processes make sensible use of energy that would otherwise be wasted.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”30″ bottom_padding=”30″ text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color=”#ffffff” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_color_hover=”#ffffff” background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”20px” column_link_target=”_self” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”29634″ image_size=”large” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1724426289012{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]\n

The advantages of power-to-heat technology<\/a><\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text]
A power-to-heat system is a useful addition for companies that regularly generate and\/or consume large quantities of electricity. A P2H system can be implemented very quickly and easily and elegantly integrated into an existing infrastructure.<\/p>\n
