Various countries and communities are defining strategic energy plans driven by concerns related to climate change and security of energy supply. The long time horizon inherent to strategic energy planning requires uncertainty to be accounted for. Uncertai ...
In the urban areas of Europe and USA, a significant part of the final energy consumption corresponds to the buildings heat demand. Given the challenges related to climate change, to energy security and dependency from fossil fuels, modifications of the ene ...
The mitigation of climate change is thought by many to be a significant environmental concern. In order to mitigate the bulk of carbon emissions from the electricity sector, large market penetration of renewable energy technologies is a key research issue. ...
High atm. CO2 levels, resulting largely from combustion of fossil fuels, and its undesirable impact on global climate has sparked considerable interest in cleaner energy sources. While energy transitions are historically slow, technol. solns. for mitigatio ...
According to the International Energy Agency, CO2 emissions have to be cut by a factor 2 if one wants to mitigate the effect on the climate change to an acceptable limit. To reach this target, efficient use and conversion of energy resources is expected to ...
The Swiss Energy Strategy 2050 pursues an ambitious transition to a more renew- able and efficient energy future, combining CO2 and energy saving targets with a phase-out of nuclear electricity generation. This transition poses challenges not only for the ...
Climate change is clearly discernible in observed climate records in Switzerland. It impacts on natural systems, ecosystems, and economic sectors such as agriculture, tourism, and energy, and it affects Swiss livelihood in various ways. The observed and pr ...
Using pile foundations as heat exchangers with the ground provides an efficient and reliable energy source for the heating and cooling of buildings. However, thermal expansion or contraction of the concrete brings new challenges to the design of such struc ...
In a climate constrained future, hybrid energy-economy model coupling gives additional insight into interregional competition, trade, industrial delocalisation and overall macroeconomic consequences of decarbonising the energy system. Decarbonising the ene ...
The authors present the current context for energy transition and hydropower development in Switzerland, summarizing the activities in the field of hydropower infrastructure research carried out over the past three years and presenting the development obje ...
