Siemens to consider increasing the investment in the solar industry

 When talking about the future city life, we will think about the intelligent computers, the advanced automotives and some other interesting things. But before the beautiful future becomes truth, we will have to solve the problem about energy. If we don’t have enough energy to power our automotives, computers or even street lights, our lives will become the biggest tragedy.

Speaking of possible solutions, The Global Change chairman said 40 percent of global energy consumption was used to construct and tear down buildings. If buildings were made to last longer, more energy would be saved. He also advocated the use of polymer concrete to replace cement, as well as using heat pumps in buildings. And great amount of solar street lights are been installed in many cities. The application of solar energy is developing fast.
He said balancing air conditioning could also save energy by 30-50 percent, as would use energy-efficient street lights. Cities could also upgrade their system by using smart grids that could help facilitate power transmissions.
The company is also helping cities upgrade their electricity grids, particularly in Turkey, which is seeing a huge increase in energy consumption, said Dr. Jan Mrosik, chief executive of Siemens AG Energy Automation.
“The new grids would be more complex than the old ones, but they would increase the capacity, which can also allow renewable energy generated in the future to be transmitted,” he said.
If Turkey does everything correctly, the country would have “wind power from the west, solar power from the south, and hydropower from the mountainous center of the country” by 2023, according to Mrosik.

If these things will all come true, we will gain much from the development of the new energy technology. And all solar street lights will able to shine through day and night.
