Use turbine technology to earn from surplus energy

A comprehensive range of accessories is available for the DEPRAG GET turbine generator

Floods in the past year, the mildest winter in a long time, springtime temperatures in January. Our climate is changing. Extreme weather is on the increase. Climate protection and efficient energy usage are more important than ever. It is high time that we started using energy wisely. In the European Union there are attempts underway to not only reduce emissions of the climate killer CO2 by 20 percent before 2020 but by 30 percent instead and also to make it a binding commitment. Research and industry are called upon to come up with innovative projects which will help protect our environment.

The opportunities are numerous and wide-ranging. Unused potential is waiting for exploitation. In 2010 DEPRAG SCHULZ GMBH u. CO had already started an ambitious research project into the field of energy recovery. This project, sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for Economics and Technology as a result of a resolution by the German Bundestag (Germany’s parliament), is based on the idea that “in many industrial processes, gas is released into the atmosphere. The aim was to utilise these gases as an energy source”. The recovery of energy from process gases is not a new concept. Dr.-Ing. Rolf Pfeiffer explains, “the new aspect of our development however, is that our small compact decentralised energy recovery system can also convert small amounts of residual energy in the power range of 5 to 20 kW into electricity.“

Prof. Dr. Ing. A. P. Weiß from the Ostbayerischen Technischen Hochschule Amberg-Weiden (East Bavarian University of Applied Sciences Amberg-Weiden) sees a great potential for this system in the future: “compressed air systems could be boosted by the use of this decentralised storage of surplus renewable energy. With the innovative GET turbine generator from DEPRAG, the so-called CAES (Compressed Air Energy Storage) temporary storage of wind or solar energy even in small kW ranges could present a new scope of application for compressed air technology”.

Now DEPRAG SCHULZ GMBH u. CO has completed the development of their initial prototype of the innovative DEPRAG GET turbine generator for the power range 3-50 kW into the sizes 5 kW, 20 kW and 50 kW. These design sizes are individually configured to each process.
