Understand the fundamentals and global dynamics of renewable energies

Revolution in the drive train: How ATEK advances renewable energies

The energy transition is progressing; Germany aims for at least 80% renewable energies in electricity generation by 2030. ATEK Drive Solutions contributes to this transformation with innovative drive technology and increases efficiency in the renewable energy sector. This article presents solutions.

Understand the fundamentals and global dynamics of renewable energies

What drives the global energy transition?

The annual solar energy striking the Earth of 3,900,000 Exajoules far exceeds global energy demand. This quantity of energy illustrates the great potential of solar energy utilization. Reports from the International Energy Agency (IEA) confirm the growing importance.

Diversity of sources and global expansion

Renewable sources accounted for 17.9% of global primary energy consumption in 2018. The largest single share was accounted for by traditional biomass at 6.9%, highlighting the need for modern, efficient biomass solutions. Modern biomass, solar, and geothermal accounted for 4.3%, wind and PV 2.1%. For biomass processing, robust load-distributing planetary gear boxes.

Challenge of grid integration

A grid must maintain a stable frequency of 50 Hertz despite fluctuating feed-in from wind and solar. Decentralization by many small producers requires smarter grids and virtual power plants, a complexity often underestimated. Pilot projects, such as those by Next Kraftwerke, demonstrate feasibility. ATEK components for energy feedback systems contribute to grid stability.Economic potentials and ecological responsibility emphasize

Job engine energy transition

Die renewable energy sector employed approximately 13.7 million people worldwide in 2022, with a rising trend. Germany holds a leading position in this future sector with around 406,300 employees (2023) and strengthens domestic value creation. The BMWK provides data on this.

  • Die Renewable energy sector is a global job engine with an increasing trend, with Germany playing a leading role in job creation.
  • Renewable energies make a measurable and growing contribution to CO2 reduction and climate protection.
  • Energy-efficient drives, such as the IE5 synchronous motor, are crucial for further emission reductions.
  • A significant portion of the installed capacity of renewable energies in Germany comes from citizen energy projects.
  • The broad participation of private individuals and farmers underscores the high social acceptance of the energy transition.

CO2 reduction and climate protection

In Germany, renewable energies avoided approximately 203 million tons of CO2 equivalents in 2019; by 2024, this value will rise to 256 million tons. This contribution to climate protection is measurable and growing. Energy-efficient drives such as the IE5 synchronous motor contribute to further reductions.

Citizen energy and its significance

In 2019, almost a third of the installed renewable energy capacity in Germany belonged to private individuals, with over 40% including farmers in onshore wind. This high share of citizen energy signals social acceptance, despite a slightly declining trend recently. Studies from the Agency for Renewable Energies (AEE) confirm this.Germany’s energy transition: Current status and upcoming tasks

Electricity sector as a pioneer

Germany reached 54.4% renewable energies in the electricity sector by 2024, a doubling in ten years. This development demonstrates the potential, while the heat (18.1%) and transport (7.2%) sectors show less progress. Official data is provided by AGEE-Stat.

Wind energy expansion with obstacles

Wind energy capacity grew by 3,027 MW in 2023, which is not enough to meet the goal of 115 GW onshore by 2030. The record year 2017 (4,891 MW added) demonstrates the potential with accelerated approval processes. For reliable wind turbines, high-torque safety brakes they are essential.

Photovoltaics on the rise

The PV sector grew by over 16,700 MW in 2024; the installed capacity doubled in five years to nearly 100,000 MW. A challenge is the intelligent grid integration of these decentralized capacities, a key aspect for the entire renewable energy sector.

The Fraunhofer ISE is researching new cell technologies for PV.

Setting the political course correctly

The Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) and initiatives like ‘Solar Package I’ are crucial for expansion. These frameworks must be flexibly adjusted to technological developments and market changes to ensure investment security. The Federal Association of Renewable Energy (BEE) demands adjustments.

Tackling challenges together

The balance between increasing, volatile energy generation, grid stability, and acceptance for infrastructure projects is central. Solutions require technological progress, intelligent political tools, and transparent communication. A DIW Berlin study predicts 3% GDP growth by 2030 due to renewable energy expansion.

The transformation to renewable energy sector is a comprehensive task where innovative drive technology is essential. ATEK Drive Solutions offers efficient, reliable solutions for energy transition projects.
