Description
Summary:In the context of obligations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to which EU countries have pledged, reducing energy consumption is a necessity of the current period. Thus, within Energy Strategy, Romania was among the first countries that have approved targets for the years 2012, 2015 and 2020. In this respect, the article presents a study regarding the assessment to an industrial consumer of the energy potential of the evacuated air jets through the exhaust systems with which technological facilities are equipped. In order to assess the possibility of utilizing the kinetic energy of the air jets evacuated by the exhaust systems, the calculation of the nominal power and power generated by a 600M2 wind turbine was performed. Based on the results obtained during the air jet speeds recording and of the recovered energy potential, it can be concluded that the evacuated air jet kinetic energy is a source that can be converted into electricity for the economic agent own consumption (insularised system).
