“…Of increasing interest are the economic and ecological risks of RE implementation, and especially of achieving 100 per cent RE systems and local energy independence. These risks include land-use competition, land-use and land-cover changes, and the re-allocation of ecosystem services (Schmidt et al, 2012;Sliz-Szkliniarz, 2013;Stoms et al, 2013;Mellino et al, 2014). Map algebra techniques, which identify suitable and preferred areas for RE development based on developer interests and regulatory constraints, help to make projections about how these burdens will be spatially distributed in a given area as policy action moves from target setting to implementation (e.g.…”

This paper takes stock of geographical contributions to the study of energy and energy futures. The paper is written in two parts. First, I trace the methodological and philosophical traditions that underpin geographical approaches to energy studies. I argue that while 'energy geography' is arguably a pragmatic shorthand with which to communicate to the broader energy studies community, geographical studies of energy have expanded in scope and theoretical plurality so that 'energy geographies' is a more appropriate label. Energy geographers are well positioned to contribute to scientific and policy debates surrounding energy due to their privileged position at the borderland between various philosophical and methodological traditions. Second, I identify some of the problems, opportunities and uncertainties that contemporary energy geographers are helping to identify, understand, and resolve. Past contributions and critical issues for future scholarship are highlighted in four themes: (1) using advanced socio-spatial theory to better understand the energy-society relationship; (2) geo-political and geo-economic assessments of (changing) global energy trade networks; (3) geographical perspectives on socio-technical (energy) transitions; and (4) advanced spatial decision-support for energy planning and technology implementation. While this discussion is by no means exhaustive, it aims to bring some clarity and specificity to the policy and academic relevance of geographical thought and practice as it relates to energy issues.

“…Firstly, the energy potential estimation is a good guideline for RE inventory, planning, monitoring and selection of the best energy combinations for a given location. Secondly, it helps to identify areas where land-use trade-offs limit the exploitation of RE in status quo (Sliz-Szkliniarz, 2013). Here, the currently available indicators, standards and default values were combined as an assessment concept and exemplarily applied to the Hanover region.…”

“…Tracking the discussions in the EU it can be concluded that the domestic CHP units, Autonomous Energy Regions and generally distributed energy systems (DES) based on renewable energy sources (RES) play a big role in energy policy and especially in the so-called energy mix not only in Poland but also in EU Countries [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

Abstract. The paper presents the research results of the microturbines dynamics with power of a few to several hundred KW. They are combined heat and power (CHP) units (generating heat and electricity) for houses and for municipalities in the form of Autonomous Energy Regions (ARE). These are key technologies for energy sector with respect to the distributed generation and for small-scale eco-power engineering. The following examples will refer only to the several selected research projects coordinated by the IMP PAN (Institute of FluidFlow Machinery of the Polish Academy of Sciences) in Gdansk. The paper will focus on the dynamics of rotors and bearings lubricated by means of low boiling agents, i.e., by means of turbine working medium. Analysis of hydrodynamic instability phenomena, including the development of oil whirl and oil whip has also been carried out.Key words: rotor dynamics, microurbines, distributed energy generation. Preliminary remarksThe presented in the paper examples refer to the several selected research projects coordinated by the IMP PAN (Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery of the Polish Academy of Sciences) in Gdansk. However, thy are the largest research projects in the country regarding the field of RES-based eco-power engineering.This article focuses on the results of the work related to so-called "energy-plus" technologies and small & microcombined heat and power units. These results are the effect of research conducted at the institute and in cooperation with industrial partners (mainly the Capital Group ENERGA) and more than a dozen research teams from different research centers across the country. The study focuses on the future implementation and is addressed to individual and municipal consumers.When it comes to the ongoing studies, the construction of the CHP ORC plant is planned (the blocks consisting of a boiler and a microturbine operating with a low-boiling agent using an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) with the electric power of several kW and tens of kW of thermal power. Within the framework of the another project it is planned to build CHP ORC units of higher power (hundreds of kW of electrical power, thermal power up to several MW).The results of these projects is thus addressed to individual customers in the form of domestic CHP units, and to the municipal customer as Municipal Energy Centers or Autonomous Energy Regions (ARE).Tracking the discussions in the EU it can be concluded that the domestic CHP units, Autonomous Energy Regions and generally distributed energy systems (DES) based on renewable energy sources (RES) play a big role in energy policy and especially in the so-called energy mix not only in Poland but also in EU Countries [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11].Microturbines constitute the most important part of the small devices like DES/RES. Analysis of the work of microturbines and microbearings, their construction and operation is a challenge for many centers around the world.
