Citizen concerns and acceptance for novel energy technologies
Emmerich, Philip; Weil, Marcel; Baumann, ManuelThe authors would like to thank the Helmholtz project “Energy System 2050” for the financial support. A special thanks belongs to the whole group of the research topic 4 which has supported the work in several ways. For the development of the survey we would like to thank Prof. Dr. Michael Braun from GESIS and for hosting the survey the platform SoSci-survey (www.soscisurvey.de).; The introduction of new energy...
Energy storage systems in the future German electricity system: A foresight app...
Baumann, Manuel; Moniz, António B.; Weil, MarcelGermany has ambitious targets to produce 35 % of the needed electricity from Renewables mainly based on wind and solar power by 2020 and over 80 % by 2050 within the so called “Energiewende”. Energy storage is seen as a potential option to assure the safe RES system integration to achieve these goals. There is a high uncertainty and the resulting public discourse about the future demand and the most suitable ty...
Historic and potential technology transition paths of grid battery storage: Co-...
Baumann, ManuelScarcity of fuels, changes in environmental policy and in society increased the interest in generating electric energy from renewable energy sources (RES) for a sustainable energy supply in the future. The main problem of RES as solar and wind energy, which represent a main pillar of this transition, is that they cannot supply constant power output. This results inter alia in an increased demand of backup techn...
Analysis of a controversial decision process: the case of the pumped hydro stor...
Baumann, ManuelBased on the report for the unit “Métodos Interactivos de Participação e Decisão A” (Interactive methods of participation and decision A), coordinated by Prof. Lia Maldonado Teles de Vasconcelos and Prof. Nuno Miguel Ribeiro Videira Costa. This unit was provided for the PhD Program in Technology Assessment in 2015/2016.; A main problem of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) as solar and wind energy, which represent ...
Technology transition towards electric mobility - technology assessment as a to...
Boavida, Nuno; Baumann, Manuel; Moniz, António; Schippl, Jens; Reichenbach, Max; Weil, MarcelPaper presented at the Colloquium Gerpisa 2013, Paris (http://gerpisa.org/node/2085), Session n°: 19 New kinds of mobility: old and new business models; The paper aims to understand the degree of transition towards e-mobility. The assumption is that the degree of convergence between actors of each system (batteries, vehicles, grid, policies, business models and consumers) is an indicator of changes in the prese...
Prospective system analysis of stationary battery systems under the frame of Co...
Baumann, ManuelBased on the report for the unit “Project IV” of the PhD programme on Technology Assessment under the supervision of Dr.-Ing. Marcel Weil and Prof. Dr. António Brandão Moniz. The report was presented and discussed at the Doctorate Conference on Technologogy Assessment in July 2013 at the University Nova Lisboa, Caparica campus.; The ongoing German energy transition causes a higher demand for reliable energy sto...
The new mobility paradigm: transformation of value chain and business models
Fournier, Guy; Hinderer, Henning; Schmid, Daniel; Seign, René; Baumann, ManuelWe would like to thank Philipp Schwarz and Julia Gückel for their dedicated support in preparing this paper and our colleagues and students of the School of Engineering and the Business School for our fruitful discussions.; Four categories of innovations have been identified by Freeman and Perez: incremental innovations, radical innovations, new technological systems (systemic innovations), and technological re...
Renewable energy systems the theme for the PACITA summer school on TA, Liège, B...
Baumann, Manuel; Boavida, Nuno; Maia, Maria João; Lichtner, Patrick; Moniz, António B.The summer school “Renewable Energy Systems: Role and Use of Parliamentary Technology Assessment” was the first European Summer School with a pure focus on technology assessment. The aim of the three-day long summer school of the European project Parliaments and Civil Society in Technology Assessment (PACITA) was to create awareness of the potential of technology groups in Europe. Therefore, the summer school i...
A constructive technology assessment of stationary energy storage systems: pros...
Baumann, ManuelBased on the presentation and discussion at the 3rd Winter School on Technology Assessment, December 2012, Universidade Nova de Lisboa (Portugal), Caparica Campus, PhD programme on Technology Assessment; Environmental concerns over the use of fossil fuels and their resource constraints have increased the interest in generating electric energy from renewable energy sources (RES) to provide a sustainable electric...
