Résumé

Energy demand and renewable potentials need to be synchronized in time and space. Energy has to be provided at the right place at the time of demand and in the quantity needed. This means, that a spatial model of the region has to be elaborated that is based on a geographic information system (GIS) and linked to an expert system (a spreadsheet). The Space Type Energy Model (STEM) developed is such a GIS-based expert system. For the Canton of Basel-City it was applied to model the demand-supply structure for a 2000-Watt- scenario. It was also used to access the capacity of Basel-Stadt to become energetically self- sufficient. In addition, greenhouse gas emissions as well as CO2-reduction potentials were mapped. Finally, investments and savings associated with the introduction of renewable energy options were assessed.

Renewable energy commercialization

Renewable energy commercialization involves the deployment of three generations of renewable energy technologies dating back more than 100 years. First-generation technologies, which are already mature and economically competitive, include biomass, hydroelectricity, geothermal power and heat. Second-generation technologies are market-ready and are being deployed at the present time; they include solar heating, photovoltaics, wind power, solar thermal power stations, and modern forms of bioenergy.

100% renewable energy

100% renewable energy means getting all energy from renewable resources. The endeavor to use 100% renewable energy for electricity, heating, cooling and transport is motivated by climate change, pollution and other environmental issues, as well as economic and energy security concerns. Shifting the total global primary energy supply to renewable sources requires a transition of the energy system, since most of today's energy is derived from non-renewable fossil fuels.

Demand

In economics, demand is the quantity of a good that consumers are willing and able to purchase at various prices during a given time. The relationship between price and quantity demand is also called the demand curve. Demand for a specific item is a function of an item's perceived necessity, price, perceived quality, convenience, available alternatives, purchasers' disposable income and tastes, and many other options. Innumerable factors and circumstances affect a consumer's willingness or to buy a good.
