Hello together

Today I made some research about existing Projects in future carsharing systems. I did also research, how much energy you can save by doing carsharing.

Our first researches

Hello everyone

Down below you can find our first researches about our new sharing project.

How can we save with this kind of sharing?

  • Because people always bring their borrowed accessoires back, there is no need to produce as much and there is no need to use as many machines and employees
  • Saving of different manufacturing materials, such as silver, gold, nickel, copper etc.
  • Money can also be saved
  • People can save their time, because we have an Online-Shop and they do not need to go into a normal shop

Advantages:

  • Save energy
  • Save material
  • Less production=better for the environment

Disadvantages:

  • Property from the owner
  • A own insurance
  • Worse for economy, when they can sell less

What kind of energy could be saved?

  • Grey energy. It is the amount of energy required for the production, transport, storage, sale and disposal of a product.
  • Electricity, by the production
  • Personal energy

More researches will follow.

Best wishes,

Selina and Julia

Step 1 imagination - book sharing

Hello everyone,

We decided to change our topic. The new topic is "book sharing". The focus will be on textbooks.

  • Can we share or exchange textbooks between generations?
  • Would there also be disadvantages?
  • What other books can we share?
  • Will there be no more books at some point?
  • Could e-books then also be shared?

These are the main questions that Maria and I would like to answer and thus start our research.

We are looking forward to the results!

 

Best regards,

Maria and Deniz

 

Step 3 - Experience

Hello everyone

We would like to share with you our experience that we had during working on this project. First of all, we really enjoyed working on this project because it was a new challenge for us to create an app. We struggled a bit to find the right tool to create an app. The main problem was that most tools were not free. So that's why we decided to create the app SHARE-it on Powerpoint. We spent a lot of time on this because we wanted to finish this project so quick as possible.

with kind regards

Team Energy Sharing, our results from the research

Hello together

These are our results from the research:

  • Eine durchschnittliche Familie mit 4 Personen verbraucht ca. 3750 kWh Strom im Jahr
  • Ein Windrad mit 3 MW elektrischer Leistung kann Strom für ca. 2000 Haushalte erzeugen (gerechnet mit 3500 kWh pro Haushalt im Jahr)
  • In der Schweiz gibt es per 31.12.2018 3.8 Millionen Haushalte mit durchschnittlich 2.23 Personen.
  • Erdölverbrauch 2018 in der Schweiz: 10.5 Millionen Tonnen
  • Bei der Energieproduktion eines Wasserwerkes kommt es auf die Grösse an. In der Schweiz wurde 2013 56% des ganzen Stromverbrauchs mit Wasserwerken generiert und zwar 35.000 GWh
  • Mit 4-6 Solarmodulen (8-10 m2) können 950-1260 kWh Strom erzeugt werden. Damit kann ein ganzer Haushalt (1 Personen) für ein Jahr versorgt werden.
  • 100 L entspricht CHF 68.44 (Stand 19.03.2020, Winterthur)
  • Solarzellen, welche 7200 kWh produzieren können, kosten ca. 16'000
