Energy revolution
Distributed, non-controlled small scale generation; solar, wind, bio, tidal
Distributed ownership, mass production, no emissions
Intermittent production, power balance problem
Microgrids, self-sufficiency
Challenging market problem because of subsidized
production.
At the same time feed in tariffs have
accerelates technical development and innovations
Load monitoring, load control, demand response actions
and business models
Cut of peak powers, power balance management, Reserve power, cost optimization
Energy storages; batteries, electro-chemical conversion
Short term (hours) and long term (days) balance of power and energy in system with high penetration of renewables
Market models
Self sufficiency, security of supply
frakmentation vs. trans-european market Market based business vs. subsidized business

Energy revolution
China, India, USA, Europe
Increased burning of coal in Asia will continue
Europe; forerunner (flagship) vs. self destruction ?
If Europe is not a leader of gang in climate question, what will happen? +3-4 C
increase of climate temperature can lead to runaway change (environmental impacts). In that phase then solutions in energy systems will have no impact.
It’s time to operate now; CO2 market or/and technology development by feed in tariffs?
Shale gas and oil
Additional time for fossil fuels?
Low price will lift world economy? More emissions? Self-sufficient USA – change in global politics Role of energy resources from Russia in Europe ?
