Tomorrow is already today
The global energy system is in a phase of fundamental change. The requirements, resulting from climate change and the depletion of fossil energy reserves, lead to a veritable paradigm shift in the energy industry: Renewable energy becomes in the coming years and decades massively important. The power grids have to be converted to fluctuating and decentralized production, into so-called intelligent networks. In the long term the importance of hydrogen as an energy source, especially in the transport area will increase.

Fossil energy resources (coal, gas, oil) will stay for several 10 years,
the change in energy sector will not change over night, but the future has
started and changes are already visible.
Yesterday/ Today ⇒ Today/Tomorrow
What was in the past a clear difference from production and consumption, big power stations and customers, is more and more transformed into a so called smart-grid, where consumers can be producers and feed the grid.
Global energy need until 2050
The scenario to 2050 calculates with a continuous economic growth and some international action on climate change. The assumptions with regard to the share of renewable energies in total are classified as realistic. (Source – Shell energy scenario to 2050)
World wide investment in eletcricity infrastructure
The cumulative investment by 2030 can reach 13 trillion USD in the Reference Scenario of the World Energy Outlook 2008. Assuming a successful climate change policy will shift the investment towards the developed countries.
Trends in automation
The future with control system for gen-sets is an easy to configure unit with top quality. Controller for easy installation - plug-in and it’s running forever. The new unit is supporting everything needed for a safe and stable Grid (helping to build Smart-Grids). The maintenance is easy and remote analysis of single set’s or complex stations is all the time possible. The connection to a fleet management is without any problem and all can be displayed easy in a flexible SCADA system.
