Bis 2050 soll Strom zu 80% aus regenerativen Energien erzeugt werden. Die Entwicklung von neuen Speichertechnologien ist deswegen dringend notwendig. Für eine Versorgung mit Strom aus erneuerbaren Energien werden enorme Speicherkapazitäten benötigt, um die wetterbedingten Schwankungen bei der Energieerzeugung mit Wind- und Solaranlagen auszugleichen. IQPCs Konferenz Chance Energiespeicher vom 30. Januar bis 1. Februar 2012 bietet einen Überblick über mögliche Speichertechnologien der Zukunft, präsentiert von Experten in diesem Feld.
Zu den wichtigsten Diskussionspunkten der Konferenz gehören:
· Speichertechnologien – Energiepolitik und Zukunftsszenarien
· Langzeitspeicherungen von großen Energiemengen, z.B. über Power-to-Gas und Druckluftspeicherwerke
· Neue Herausforderungen für bekannte Speichertechnologien, wie Pumpspeicherung· Adiabate Druckluftspeicher und thermische Energiespeicher· Moderne Batterietechnologien· Effizienter Speichermix: Wirkungsgradverlust und Wirtschaftlichkeit
Interaktive Workshops am 30. Januar bieten einen anregenden Einstieg in die Konferenz. Teilnehmer können die folgenden Themen mit Experten diskutieren:
· Synthetisches Methan – Energieversorgung der Zukunft?
· Speichertechnologien im Vergleich – eine Kosten-Nutzen-Analyse
· Windgas – Meilenstein der Energieversorgung
· Betriebsführung von Mittel- und Niederspannungsnetzen
Erfahren Sie von anerkannten Experten von Firmen wie Evonik, Greenpeace Energy und dem VERBUND Renewable Power GmbH und Forschungsinstituten wie Fraunhofer und der RWTH Aachen, dass eine stabile Speicherung von erneuerbarer Energie nicht nur über Pumpspeichertechnologie erfolgen muss. Hören Sie zudem, wie neue Speichertechnologien am besten vermarktet werden können, um in den vielversprechendsten Speichermix investieren zu können.

Imressions of Drivetrain Concepts for Wind Turbines Conference 2011
This year's "Drivetrain Concepts for Wind Turbines" conference 17 - 19 October in Bremen was again a huge success! More than 100 industry experts met in Bremen to discuss the latest trends and developments in drivetrain concepts for wind turbines. Apart from high-level speaker presentations, attendees benefited from numerous networking opportunitites, and enjoyed an exclusive evening reception at the main hall of Bremen.
Have a look at the impressions video of the conference:
IQPC thanks all attendees, sponsors and media partners for this successful event. The next conference is currently in preparation. More information to follow soon. See you next year in Bremen!

All at sea – Grid Integration of Offshore Wind Energy
Offshore wind power is set for a strong future, not least in Germany where the phase out of nuclear power will see the country lose around a quarter of its generating capacity in the next decade. Germany is already leading the way in wind power on the continent with 27,214 MW of installed capacity and the government is looking to increase this figure further as it favours wind over other renewables.
Although much of this is currently installed onshore, 24 offshore projects have been approved, bringing with them a generation capacity of 7,000 MW. Overall, Europe is expected to see its wind power capacity triple by 2020. This growth brings with it the need to future proof the transmission system, allowing it to cope with the intermittent nature of wind power, while also extending the distribution network to integrate the growing number of wind farms with greater generation capacity located in harsher environments further offshore.
Future Demands on the Grid
Germany is, of course, not the only country priming itself for future success in the offshore wind sector. Across the EU there are currently 100 GW of wind power projects at some stage of planning, according to figures from the UK's Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), and this is ushering a new era of greater collaboration in the distribution of electricity. Incidences in recent months in Germany, where wind output has been particularly high, has left providers paying to remove power from the grid. This is a situation the industry does not want to see but may increase as wind capacity increases. With this in mind, among other issues, the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Norway and Belgium last year signed an agreement on the North Seas Offshore Grid Initiative. The distribution system would allow power to be transferred from one country to another through subsea cables, while also allowing offshore wind farms to be connected to the grid. The DECC sees the relationship between the countries as being synergetic, giving the example of the UK sending its wind power to Norway to power its hydroelectricity stations when there is a surplus, and Norway delivering power back when wind output is low.
