Building-integrated concepts

As mentioned in section 5.1.1, building-integrated hydrogen systems may possess storage in one or both of the following forms. (1) stores in vehicles parked in or at the building and (2) stationary storage in the basement or 

The building integration concept used in the decentralised scenario of section 5.5 is shown in Fig. 5.3. The concept is based on availability of reversible fuel cell technology, which as mentioned in Chapter 3, section 3.5.5 seems a realistic assumption, at least for a future scenario. At an increased cost, the reversible fuel cell could of course be replaced by a pair of a power-

This chapter first discusses how to set about prioritizing your integration efforts, then how to develop integrated systems and build the concept of continuous improvement into your systems. A section is also provided on the various tools that might be used in the process. Lastly, there is a section on how to approach integration if you are dealing with informal existing systems. This section will not apply to all readers. 

SMUD s approach introduced another distributed application concept for PV, called building integrated photovoltaics or BIPV. Currently Japan has one of the largest BIPV programs, started in 1996. The sim-... 

Implementing an inherent safety review process is one mechanism companies can use to institutionalize inherent safety. The review process should integrate well with company systems for process safety management, new product development, and project execution. Safety, health, and environmental considerations in the new product or process development effort can be strengthened via the introduction of the inherent safety review. Companies may also build inherently safer design concepts into their existing process safety management system and process hazard reviews.

Development of new and/or improved routes for chemical building blocks for polymers, lubricants and fine chemicals, including through the integration of the biorefinery concept and products into the existing chemical production chain. 

The integration of combinatorial chemistry, structure-based library design and virtual screening [268, 269] also resulted in successful applications [270, 271]. It ultimately should result in broader SAR information about directionality and physicochemical requirements of acceptable building blocks. This concept is based on feasible scaffolds for exploring protein subsites using parallel or combinatorial synthesis. 

A plant contains all production units required to produce a certain intermediate or finished product. The relationship between a site s plants varies between two extremes. At integrated sites (Verbundstandorte) the plants cover certain steps of the overall production process and are closely linked by material flows. This can be seen as a "plant within a plant" concept based on a process focus. Integrated sites are especially common in production of commodity chemicals. For example, the new integrated site built by BASF in Nanjing, China, consists of a steam cracker producing among others ethylene and propylene. Nine other plants further process the substances. The overall investment to build the site was U.S. 2.9 billion.10...
