WP ENERGY SOURCES

WP ENERGY SOURCES – The choice of energy sources needs to be carefully considered

 

A WIDE RANGE OF ENERGY SOURCES IS AVAILABLE FOR HEATING THE OVENS.
BUT WHICH IS THE BEST? AND WHICH IS THE SAFEST?


Which energy source offers the greatest security of supply?
Which energy source is the cheapest?
What is the right compromise?

 

think energy.

Self-supply of energy is usually not sufficient, but should be expanded as far as possible. But what comes next? Until now, natural gas has been the cheapest, most convenient and also one of the most efficient energy sources. But things look different today. So let‘s look at alternative options, their advantages, their disadvantages. Each owner must decide individually about a possible general change in the energy supply of his company. Or possibly about splitting in order to avoid too much dependence.

ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES

  • Heating oil
  • Natural gas
  • Natural gas . liquid . LNG
  • Liquid gas . LPG
  • Bio gas
  • Wood gas
  • Hydrogen
  • Electricity
 

ENERGY . ALTERNATIVE MEDIA.
For burner-heated baking ovens, the following primary energies can be used:

 

Heating oil

Advantages

  • Choice of any supplier
  • Stocking via tanks
  • Use of a combined Oil/gas burner possible


Disadvantages

  • Pre-financing
  • High pollutant content in the exhaust gas: sulphur dioxides, nitrogen oxides, etc.
  • Space required for tanks

            Natural gas . liquid . LNG

            Advantages

            • Choice of any supplier
            • Clean combustion
            • Storage via tanks


            Disadvantages

            • Pre-financing
            • Space required for tanks

            Bio gas

            Advantages

            • Renewable energy from biomass
            • Self-generation possible
            • Clean combustion
            • Storage via tanks


            Disadvantages

            • Self-generation vs. procurement from suppliers
            • Space requirement for tanks
             

            Hydrogen

            Advantages

            • Absolutely clean combustion
            • No pollutants, exhaust gas is pure water vapour
            • Storage via tanks


            Disadvantages

            • Burner capacities currently only up to 50 kW or from 300 kW
            • Space required for tanks
            • Complex safety technology

            Natural gas

            Advantages

            • Payment according to consumption
            • Clean combustion
            • No space required for tanks
            • Use of a combined Oil/gas burner possible


            Disadvantages

            • Dependence on gas supplier
            • Stockpiling not possible

            Liquid gas . LPG

            Advantages

            • Choice of any supplier
            • Clean combustion
            • Storage via tanks


            Disadvantages

            • Pre-financing
            • Space required for tanks
             

            Wood gas

            Advantages

            • Renewable energy from pellets/etc.
            • Self-generation possible
            • Clean combustion
            • Storage via tanks


            Disadvantages

            • Self-generation vs. from suppliers
            • Space requirement for tanks

            Electricity

            Advantages

            • Payment according to consumption
            • Choice of any supplier
            • Absolutely clean energy
            • Own generation possible
            • Each baking chamber is independent
            • Easy replacement of gas/oil burners against electric cartridge heaters


            Disadvantages

            • Energy efficiency with purchased electricity from oil, gas or coal-fired power stations very low (approx. 30% of the energy sources used)
            • Storage of own generation currently still difficult surplus electricity fed into the public grid
