This tendency can be observed in other domains as well and is accompanied by new digital technological developments. Blockchain technology is assigned disruptive potential when it comes to realize those decentralization ideas. This hype about Blockchain is mainly company-driven without a solid academic basis yet. The authors are currently involved in several research efforts for utilizing distributed energy resources like photovoltaic systems, batteries and electric cars for the setup of energy communities and marketplaces. The paper, therefore, presents detailed investigations of background and motivations for decentralization and the building of (local) energy communities and (peer-to-peer) marketplaces for sustainable utilization of renewable energies. An overview of recent related Blockchain-based works is presented, and the current state and feasibility for the realization of the envisioned decentralized solutions are discussed. In this way, the work aimed at contributing to a research-based decision foundation for upcoming Blockchain-based decentralization efforts.}, subject = {Energy Network}, language = {en} } @techreport{ZelgerKerschbaumFigletal., author = {Zelger, Thomas and Kerschbaum, E. and Figl, H. and Huemer-Kals, V. and Gutmann, R. and Gruber, E. and Schneider, U. and Obermayer, J. and F{\"u}rst, B. and D{\"u}rk, N. and Kloiber, K. and Ornetzeder, M. and Capari, L.}, title = {Way2Smart Korneuburg: Start Up in eine sozial vertr{\"a}gliche, energieautonome Smart City}, subject = {Smart City}, language = {de} } @techreport{BergholdGangolyReisenhoferetal., author = {Berghold, Heimo and Gangoly, H. and Reisenhofer, G. and Zelger, Thomas and Heisinger, F.}, title = {Smart City Leoben: Stela - Smart Tower Enhancement Leoben Austria Endbericht}, subject = {Smart City}, language = {de} } @misc{Leonhartsberger, author = {Leonhartsberger, Kurt}, title = {SPIN.OFF - SPeicherINtegration in das B{\"u}ro(OFFice)geb{\"a}ude FutureBase}, subject = {Storage}, language = {de} } @article{FairbrotherBoydLyuetal., author = {Fairbrother, Andrew and Boyd, Matthew and Lyu, Yadong and Avenet, Julien and Illich, Peter and Wang, Yu and Kempe, Michael and Dougherty, Brian and Bruckman, Laura and Gu, Xiaohong}, title = {Differential degradation patterns of photovoltaic backsheets at the array level}, series = {Solar Energy}, volume = {2018}, journal = {Solar Energy}, number = {163}, subject = {Photovoltaics}, language = {de} } @misc{Leonhartsberger, author = {Leonhartsberger, Kurt}, title = {Die Rolle von PV in lokalen und regionalen Energiesystemen und -communities}, subject = {Photovoltaics}, language = {de} } @misc{Leonhartsberger, author = {Leonhartsberger, Kurt}, title = {Die Mitwirkung von KundInnen an Batteriespeichernetzwerken}, subject = {Network}, language = {de} } @misc{Leonhartsberger, author = {Leonhartsberger, Kurt}, title = {Flexibilit{\"a}tsoptionen in Privathaushalten.

Waste heat recovery offers many opportunities to make a global contribution to this challenge. Key concepts such as waste heat recovery are the basic ideas in thermoelectricity. A part of waste heat is produced by solid-fuel stoves. Nevertheless, the quantity of high-performance solid-fuel stoves is increasing very quickly for economic and environmental reasons. These sophisticated stoves need electricity for the pump for water circulation and the control system. Thermoelectric generators (TEG) could help with this issue. This work aims to present an experimental validation of integrating a thermoelectric generator into a solid-fuel stove. An economic comparison between the most common Bismuth Telluride (Bi2Te3) module and the newly developed half-Heusler modules is complete. An experimental set-up was built to optimize the common (Bi2Te3) modules and test the newly developed half-Heusler modules from an entire system point of view. An assessment of thermoelectric technology potential, module prices, further material developments and applications is completed. Based on the literature research and a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation software the first prototype was built. This set-up is composed of a thermal loop with a hot gas source, a cold fluid, a hot fin exchanger, and thermoelectric modules. The number and the place of these modules are changed to study different configurations. A specific maximum power point tracker DC/DC converter charging a battery is added in order to study the electrical power produced by the module. Different operating points of hot inlet gas airflow were tested for the Bismuth Telluride and half-Heusler modules. The Bismuth Telluride module was tested under real-life conditions using the exhaust of the solid-fuel stoves without influencing the combustion chamber.}, subject = {Energy Technologies}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchneiderZelgerTabakovic, author = {Schneider, Simon and Zelger, Thomas and Tabakovic, Momir}, title = {Combining bottom-up and top-down approaches to converge heterogeneous building data into a homogenous, interactive and expandable energy autonomy platform}, series = {BauZ! 2018 In Betrieb gesetzt! - Wiener Kongress f{\"u}r zukunftsf{\"a}higes Bauen}, booktitle = {BauZ! 2018 In Betrieb gesetzt! - Wiener Kongress f{\"u}r zukunftsf{\"a}higes Bauen}, subject = {Energy Autonomy}, language = {en} }
