Abstract

This chapter describes the efforts of the Los Angeles Community College District to implement a 100 percent renewable energy system for each of its nine college campuses and at the national level; two studies of Denmark are presented. The design of renewable energy systems involves three major technological changes: energy savings on the demand side, efficiency improvements in the energy production, and the replacement of fossil fuels by various sources of renewable energy. The analysis of such systems includes strategies for integrating renewable sources into complex energy systems, which are influenced by energy savings and efficiency measures. Based on the case of Denmark, this chapter presents two studies that analyze the problems and perspectives of converting the present energy system into a 100 percent renewable energy system. The first study is a one-person university study; the second study is based on the technical inputs of embers of the Danish Society of Engineers (IDA).
