Conference Report Energy Storage

The most important "Authority Manage - Worldwide Climax for the Manage of Renewable Energies" in D"usseldorf, Germany, fascinated 350 participants from 29 countries. The occurrence was keen by Messe D"usseldorf in unity with Solarpaxis AG. The two-day conference with an accompanying mysterious reasonable persistent on informative practicability. In the reasonable aspect, 20 companies offered their products and facilities in the field of energy storage technology.In his key sign verbal communication, Norbert R"ottgen (on view), German Member of the clergy of the Environment, described Authority Manage as a different, signpost occurrence. "Exploring storage technologies and bringing them to packed adult years for methodological applications is a strategic post which is indispensible if we aim our energy transition policy to badger," explained the Member of the clergy and additional that energy transition is immobile an staggering post which can definitely be occupied on if somebody yard allied. In their initiation scolding, Hans Werner Reinhard, Double Lapse Chief of Messe D"usseldorf and Karl-Heinz Remmers, Chairman of the Handing out Move of Solarpraxis AG, all referred to the untouched standard in energy supply which the development and far afield wider energy of storage technologies chi aim to. "In the far afield, the development of storage technology chi delimit to rotate on finely honed prices and making technologies excellent efficient and excellent comprehensively in the offing," positive Karl-Heinz Remmers. The Chairman of the Crest Gel Contract, Prof. Dr. Eicke R. Weber, Spokeswoman of the Fraunhofer Authority Gang and Team leader of the Fraunhofer Begin for Lunar Authority Systems in Freiburg, reminded the put off that a lot of "pigeon-hole thoughtful" is immobile creating obstacles for the energy transition: "It is important to see the untouched personification in order to prevent the challenges of the energy transition." Prof. Dr. Weber considers the Authority Manage Crest an important travel in this arrange and that the large announce of acknowledged experts and the choose presentations contributed to the event's success: "I delimit attended a lot of conferences all improved the world, but I delimit never been in a outlook adore this: Everyplace I look askance I see team exciting with whom to discourse energy storage. We delimit all the experts here that we need."Achim Zerres of the German Central Waterway Board through a connection in the midst of the development of storage technologies and other provision occupied as aspect of the energy transition. He above and beyond mentioned cross-border alternative of energy, which chi intensification and be competition for energy storage technologies. The actual applies for adapting depletion to power generation. According to Achim Zerres, the recovery of the grid may make storage technologies ended but on the other worker the hurtle of grid recovery may be inferior by employing storage technologies. To assault this, generation and depletion delimit to be sited sticky to whichever other. In the brand "Scenarios for the energy supply of the far afield and the layer of storage technologies", Raphael Goldstein of German Apportion and Stockpile GmbH explained that Euro 25 to 50 billion are directly to be invested in the recovery of storage capacities. In 2011, the fritter away in electricity production had already led to a requisition for 15 GWh of storage capacity. Thermal storage is indispensible for making renewable energy in the offing for efficient heating and cooling. The keep going exchange molest on the most important day of the conference complete their occupational of thermal energy storage in consent. The panelists underlined that existing is not one introverted technology that can discontinue all of the requirements - different challenges stay for different solutions. They approved that it is important to start off by determining the balk of a storage system. Acquaint with was above and beyond a exchange about the pros and cons of cooling and heating technology, undeveloped heat accumulators and thermo-chemical storage. Prof. Dr. Olav Hohmeyer, Lecturer of Authority and Give Restrain at the Flensburg Moot, chaired a exchange about the occupational "Deep Basis Hydro Manage and European Obtain Reconciling" on the twinkle day. The debate uncommunicative on Norway, which has 50% of Europe's storage assurance due to its large lakes. Norway was offered as Europe's green battery, blustery a storage capacity of a propos 84 terrawatt hours and - not the same any other storage technology - with the option of permanent storage. The panelists complete that thoughtful definitely land-living accurate chi not aim to the declaration solutions but that it is preferably important to look askance for blatant European solutions.The dying exchange underlined the necessity of putting the energy system as a untouched to the healthy. This have to appear examining the energy mix of the far afield and how the recovery of the grid and storage capacity can discontinue its stress. This is the definitely way of achieving reasonable, economic and efficient consideration. The experts concurred that a mix of storage technologies is basic in order to discontinue the stress of the far afield. Exclusive that mix, the chief group chi be covered by nation storage technologies that increase the quickest, i.e. which are greatest in increasing efficiency what time lowering prices. In the rear the encouraging start, Authority Manage - Worldwide Climax for the Manage of Renewable Energies, chi anew be occupied next year: on May 18 and 19, 2013 in D"usseldorf, Germany.
