Thorough discussion on renewable energies and their implementation into the process industry, emphasizing efficiency and demand of industrial processes Renewable Energy in the Process Industry provides an overview of the challenges associated with the generation and storage of renewable energy, moving from a broad perspective to a zoomed-in look at a variety of different industries. The introductory chapter sets the current energy scene and its use in different countries. An outline is given for the electricity mix, how power generation is controlled, and why it may lead to on-demand power reduction. This outline is followed by a discussion of the technical aspects on generating renewable energy as well as energy storage with respect to efficiencies and important factors in the decision-making process. Renewable Energy in the Process Industry includes information on: Requirements for renewable energy in the process industry, such as stronger grid connections, extension of the grid together with its stability, and better communication between operators Possible intermittency/interruptions in the heat supply that can arise when renewable energy is used Electrification of the process industry to reduce emissions Implementation of renewable energies in a variety of different industries, ranging from steel and cement manufacturing to pharmaceuticals and wastewater treatment, with flowsheets and operating conditions Renewable Energy in the Process Industry is a timely, forward-thinking resource for process, chemical, and pharmaceutical engineers, bioengineers, and engineers involved in power technology.
