Abstract
For maintaining an efficient and reliable supply of energy throughout the next decades under a growing shortage in fossil fuel, renewable energies will be further utilized and integrated into the current electric infrastructures. Such sources are based on solar or wind power, on renewable fuel like linseed oil, or on hydrogen technology. They are used for electric power generation in typically highly distributed small or mid-size facilities. The sources are inexhaustible, and through coupling electric and heat energy (e.g. in block heat and power plants) the technical efficiency is well over 90%. Furthermore these energy sources are ecologically clean.
