Before that, I first had to find out the calorific values of the various energy sources and convert the use into average power. The list that I made for this is attached as a PDF file "Energy transition.pdf". In order to be able to easily determine the average power of annual consumption, I have added the following items in the "Power" category: "Kwh / year" and "Megajoule / year".
For various energy carriers in the category, I have not only entered the annual consumption but also the daily consumption so that, for example, the peak power in the winter can be converted.

'r'iConvert V….… with 'Energy transition' added
''
by rbytes and Dutchman, October 2018
Converts measurements in many categories.
A collaborative international project.
V….…
- Energy tansition added by Dutchman
'r'
V3.1
- Temperature category added by Dutchman
''
V3
- Currency category added by Dutchman
DATA generated with "Update currencies.sb"
V2
- animation added to title
(plays only once, at launch)
- measures added in most categories
- scientific notation is now used for
results larger than 100,000,000 or
smaller than .00000001
V1.1
- added Horsepower (Metric) to
Power category
- eliminated >>> button;
calculation is now automatic
when list selections or
input values are changed.
- code efficiency improved

DATA 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
As a possibility for energy storage, I have added the freezing of water. It is remarkable that a peak winter consumption of 20m³ of natural Dutch gas per day can theoretically be replaced by the heat that is extracted when freezing 2m³ of water.
Perhaps I should start digging a pond of at least 2 m³ in my garden. But then I also have to place 244m² of solar panels to thaw the ice during the day. However, it seems more practical to have a 3000 liter LPG tank buried in my garage path. With a single filling, from Belgium , I can also replace my annual consumption of 2300m³ of gas.
