Where: Building 9 - Lecture Hall 2325
Description
Silent-Power is the first utility which is not built on large power plants like coal or nuclear plants but on thousands of decentralised minipowerplants which are installed in the basements of the buildings. They supply electricity to the grid, warm and cold water to the building for climatisation. Silent-Power uses a new environmental friendly liquid fuel, which is produced fully synthetically (and is therefore available without limits). The electricity production is realised by Econimos, which are new energy converters developed by Silent-Power. They are noiseless (therefore the company's name), maintenance free and inexpensive to build.
