This e-book doesn't provide a prediction of what the potency can be of the strength use of business approaches sooner or later. even if, it does provide an exploration of limits to the potency of present approaches and a sign of what can be accomplished if new applied sciences could be built. on the division of technology, expertise and Society of Utrecht collage examine were performed to the possibilities for development of the power potency within the brief time period because the 1980's. This had ended in a entire database on power effective measures. This database and a potential program are defined in bankruptcy three of this ebook. using the database brought on new study topics round potency development, e.g. pertaining to boundaries for implementation of measures. It used to be round 1993 that I did a initial examine to the opportunity of potency development within the long-term. historic research had proven us that the quick time period power stayed consistent through the years. It looked to be replenished through the advent of latest applied sciences. This result in the query even if there are limits to the potency, taking into consideration either thermodynamic issues and concepts at the improvement and dissemination of latest technologies.

Sba.. 6 Identification of technologies The goal of the second part of the method is to identify as many future technologies as possible which might reduce the exergy losses as identified by the process exergy analysis. These can be technologies that are improvements on the current process or technologies that lead to alternative processes that perform the same energy service. So that this overview will be as complete as possible a list has been compiled of technologies or opportunities for improving the energy efficiency.
Finally, in a review process experts are asked to check the information on all technologies with regard to completeness and accuracy and to check whether it is up-to-date. 2. 2 DESCRIPTION OF THE TECHNOLOGY AND PERFORMANCE Each characterization of a technology starts with a description of the technology. A history of the development is given as well as an overview of the parties involved in the development. Insight into the actors involved in the development is required in order to make recommendations concerning further R&D.
Within this context the most energy-efficient process is selected as the starting point of our analysis. Our objective is to find where in a process the main energy losses occur. Also we want to determine the maximum potential for improving the energy efficiency of this process. g. , 1995], [Kaiser, 1993], and [Morris, 1992]. An exergy analysis is preferred to an energy analysis (on the basis of heating values of energy carriers only), because it takes into account the quality of energy flows. Furthermore, exergy analysis gives an indication of the potential for energy-efficiency improvement by giving insight into the degree to which energy losses can be avoided, at least in theory.
