Wissen schaffen für klimafreundliche Energietechnik : das Erfolgsgeheimnis der Kraft-Wärme-Kopplung
(2017)
Als hocheffiziente Energieerzeugungstechnologie spielt die KWK eine wichtige Rolle bei der Energiewende und dem Klimaschutz. Gerade für den Gebäudebereich und Unternehmen kann die KWK eine wirtschaftliche und umweltschonende Möglichkeit sein, Strom und Wärme zu erzeugen. Für die Planung, Umsetzung und den Betrieb von KWK-Anlagen werden fachkundige Handwerke und Ingenieure gebraucht. Aus diesem Grund hat das Ministerium für Umwelt, Klima und Energiewirtschaft in den Jahren 2015 und 2016 zusammen mit dem Handwerkstag Baden-Württemberg ... den Qualifizierungskurs "Kraft-Wärme-Kopplung - Kompetenz für den Wärme- und Energiemarkt von heute und morgen" durchgeführt... Aufgrund des Erfolges der Seminarreihe wird diese auch 2017 ff. fortgesetzt.
Induced by a societal decision to phase out conventional energy production - the so-called Energiewende (energy transition) - the rise of distributed generation acts as a game changer within the German energy market. The share of electricity produced from renewable resources increased to 31,6% in 2015 (UBA, 2016) with a targeted share of renewable resources in the electricity mix of 55%-60% in 2035 (RAP, 2015), opening perspectives for new products and services. Moreover, the rapidly increasing degree of digitization enables innovative and disruptive business models in niches at the grid's edge that might be the winners of the future. It also stimulates the market entry of newcomers and competitors from other sectors, such as IT or telecommunication, challenging the incumbent utilities. For example, virtual and decentral market places for energy are emerging; a trend that is likely to speed up considerably by blockchain technology, if the regulatory environment is adjusted accordingly. Consequently, the energy business is turned upside down, with customers now being at the wheel. For instance, more than one-third of the renewable production capacities are owned by private persons (Trendsearch, 2013). Therefore, the objective of this chapter is to examine private energy consumer and prosumer segments and their needs to derive business models for the various decentralized energy technologies and services. Subsequently, success factors for dealing with the changing market environment and consequences of the potentially disruptive developments for the market structure are evaluated.
