Nuclear energy, also known as nuclear power, atomic energy, nuclear power or nuclear power is obtained by fission of heavy radioactive atomic nuclei. Usually, uranium is used, but this material is also a limited resource. Analyses have shown that bottlenecks could already occur towards the end of this century The fission products formed during decay...
Just like the rectifier, the inverter is one of the power converters. An inverter converts the direct current generated in a photovoltaic system into alternating current or three-phase current. This is necessary in order to be able to utilize the generated electricity: Alternating current is much more stable compared to direct current. Alternating current is...
Alternating current is the name for an electric current whose direction of flow changes in regular repetition. Positive and negative instantaneous values complement each other in such a way that the current is zero on time average. The English designation is “alternating current” or the abbreviation AC. In contrast, DC (“direct current”) denotes direct current....
KNX is an industry standard for a bus system in home and building automation. This means that all devices use the same transmission method and can exchange data via a common bus line. KNX networks components of home and building system technology and enables intelligent control of lighting, heating or alarm systems, for example, More...
Climate targets are objectives decided at national or EU level to reduce or even stop the effects of global warming. One of the best-known climate targets is the 1.5-degree target: According to the Paris Climate Agreement of 2015, in which the global community agreed to combat global warming, the global man-made temperature increase caused by...
Climate protection is part of environmental protection and an umbrella term for all measures and concepts to counteract the consequences of climate change.The increasing emission of greenhouse gases by humans, mainly due to increasing industrialization, creates a greenhouse effect. This is considered the main cause of global warming. Protecting the climate therefore means releasing as...
Climate politics at global, national and European level deals with strategies and measures to protect the climate. The focus is on avoiding greenhouse gases and adapting to the consequences of climate change that can no longer be avoided. These consequences include global warming and extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall and storms. In addition,...
Industry 4.0 refers to the intelligent networking of machines and processes in industry with the help of information and communication technology. This results in a wealth of advantages for the industry: For example, production will become much more flexible, and it will be possible to respond better to customer wishes. Last but not least, Industry...
The term information has a whole range of definitions. In information theory, it is the knowledge that a sender conveys to a receiver through an information channel. It is therefore the additional knowledge that leads to a change in the recipient’s previous knowledge. Information is often transmitted by means of a medium. This can be...
