The importance of green power plants for the energy transition is increasingly coming into focus. Our webinar series “Sustainable Power. Green Power Plants for the Energy Transition” from September 9 to 13, 2024 gave you insights into the technical side of sustainable power plant concepts. Specifically, it dealt with the planning process of energy management systems, new innovative technologies for storing thermal energy, the reduction of unplanned downtimes in large power plants through the use of AI and the advantages of combined heat and power generation.
Monday
September 9 | Smart Decentralyzed Energy Systems- Modern Power Plants
With the increasing expansion of renewable energies such as photovoltaics and wind power, the demands on the electricity grids are rising and with them the grid charges and levies. On September 9, Markus Hagedorn, Senior Sales Manager at Greenflash, showed you how energy costs can be significantly reduced and resources used efficiently by integrating various components.
Tuesday
September 10 | multiTESS - The Multifunctional Thermal Energy Storage System for the Idustrial Heat Transition
muliTESS is a multifunctional storage concept. It combines the storage of surplus electricity with the generation of regenerative process heat. Pascal Netten, research associate at FH Aachen, gave you valuable insights into this promising technology on September 10.
Thursday
September 12 | How to Reduce Unplanned Downtimes in Power and Heat Generation and Improve Maintenance with AI
How do energy suppliers use data and AI to gain valuable knowledge for operation and maintenance? On September 12, Carlos Ayala Jiménez, Head of Sales, and Dr. Sebastian Feller, founder of mi solutions & consulting GmbH, used practical examples to show how modern mathematical processes can be used to operate systems more intelligently and consciously.
Friday
September 13 | Combined Heat and Power Generation in Heating Networks and with Hydrogen: Review, Insights and Outlook from Research
Combined heat and power generation is a relevant technology for a sustainable and secure energy supply, with the aim of making flexible and CO2-neutral power plants a reality. Find out more about the opportunities, challenges and technology trends of combined heat and power generation in the context of the current energy policy situation. Based on research results from the LivingLab of the Gas- und Wärmeinstitut Essen e.V., Nadine Lucke, Project Manager Fuel and Appliance Technology, shared her experiences on September 13.
