THE HISTORICAL AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF HEAT PUMPS IN THE PROCESS OF IMPLEMENTING THE GREEN TRANSITION
Heat pumps represent one of the most promising solutions for efficient heating and cooling in modern energy systems and their distribution. The article will show the historical development of low-temperature and high-temperature heat pumps throughout history. At present, the most widespread are compressor low-temperature heat pumps, which operate on the principle of compression and expansion of the refrigerant. They are popular due to their high efficiency, reliability and the possibility of use in various applications, from residential buildings to industrial processes. In addition, absorption and adsorption heat pumps are also available, which use heat as an energy source for cooling or heating, which makes them suitable for use in combination with renewable sources, such as solar or geothermal energy.
Acoustic and chemical heat pumps are also being developed in laboratories. At present, heat pumps are already widely used in various sectors, especially in residential and industrial buildings, where they enable high energy efficiency and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. With the further development of technologies and the increased focus on sustainable development, heat pumps are expected to play a key role in the transition to renewable energy sources in the future. The development of advanced materials, smart grids and more integrated systems, together with the promotion of policies that support the energy transition, will enable the wider use of heat pumps and increase their accessibility. In addition, new applications of heat pumps are expected, such as integration with advanced energy storage systems and cooling technologies, which will further increase their efficiency and applicability in the future. This article will present our view on the further development of heat pumps.

Ovogodišnje izlaganje:
POREDBENA ISKUSTVA U REGULACIJI TEHNOLOGIJE POLUSAMOVOZEĆIH SUSTAVA U MOTORNIM VOZILIMA
Valja izložiti poredbeni modeli regulacije korištenja naprednih sustava za ispomoć u vožnji motornih vozila te sustava za automatiziranu vožnju motornih vozila. Naglasak je pri tome na američkim i europskim iskustvima u vezi uvođenja i primjene tehnologije na trećoj i četvrtoj razini autonomije (SAE klasifikacija).
