Electricity Generation by Urban Infrastructure: Zero Emissions Infograms, Forecasts, Roadmaps and Technology Comparisons 2018-2050 – Research and Markets
DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Electricity
Generation by Urban Infrastructure: Zero Emission 2018-2050"
report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.
The report, "Electricity Generation by Urban Infrastructure: Zero
Emission 2018-2050" has a host of new infograms, forecasts, roadmaps and
technology comparisons embracing activities of no less than 241
organisations. It is intended for distributed energy technology
developers and users, property, road and campus developers, electricity
utilities, urban planners, legislators and architects.
Learn how we have entered a golden age where beautiful and sometimes
invisible Building Integrated Photovoltaics BIPV is a practicality
rather than an expensive dream. A host of new technologies are assessed
in depth, some invisibly retrofittable like photovoltaic window coating
and glass that powers its own electrically-operated darkening for
privacy and climate control. This hugely increases the addressable
markets. We show how this can be on a national grid, using the grid
merely as back up or fully off grid.
The report starts with a comprehensive Executive Summary and
Conclusions, sufficient in itself for those in a hurry as it explains
definitions, microgrids to megagrids, good and bad practice, technology
preferences and futures with 12 pages of detailed forecasts at the end.
After the introduction chapter putting it all in contest, there are
chapters on urban wind energy including a full appraisal of Airborne
Wind Energy to be first commercialised in 2018, urban photovoltaics
including how we shall achieve transparency and doubling efficiency,
Building Integrated Photovoltaics BIPV in action then a chapter on
self-powered multifunctional windows and glass. The seventh chapter
appraises electricity generating roads, paths, fences and road furniture
and the report closes with a good look at urban blue energy from river
and sea: most cities are on one or the other.
The emphasis is in on commercialisation and emerging options with real
depth. Indeed, it is the first to give a 20 year roadmap of the whole
picture, importantly embracing more than the buildings, because, for
example, solar paths, fences, road furniture (bus and vehicle charging
shelters, signage, lamp posts) and roads together can be the dominant
part of the electricity generating package. Learn of a 10MW car park
working today. The emphasis is analytical not evangelical. It exposes
bad practice as well as good and benchmarks practice in other industries
that should be transferred. We assess the many new forms of
photovoltaics from that three times as efficient to flexible and/or
transparent PV technologies for windows.
Learn complementary technologies coming along. For example, a solar road
can also capture movement using piezoelectrics and vertical wind
turbines down the centre of a road can harness wind from traffic. We
throw in some dreams as well because this is a subject where dreams
today become practicality tomorrow. Do you want to help emerging nations
to prosper without pollution? Do you desire freedom from national grid
problems from terrorism, natural disasters, monopoly pricing and
neglect? These and other questions are answered from the point of view
of what buildings and their immediate environs can contribute
electrically. Overall the major trends are identified as being off grid
and integration.
"Electricity Generation by Urban Infrastructure: Zero Emission
2018-2050" critically covers the whole urban electricity generation
picture focussing only on zero emission and looking forward all the way
to 2050. It is a very exciting story, assessed and predicted by the many
multi-lingual, PhD level analysts who travel the world on your behalf.
Our approach is creative, based on our industrial and academic
background in this subject and best energy harvesting practice in other
industries that can be transferred to urban infrastructure. The emphasis
is what is emerging, its commercialisation and market drivers. The
report is complementary to our energy harvesting, off-grid and other
reports.
