The energy revolution relies on increasing amounts of wind energy and therefore requires bigger wind energy storage systems, capable of meeting the greater demands which will be placed on them. These require the storage of energy at appropriate times and locations, both to balance generation with consumption and to maintain grid stability by steady energy output. Among the obstacles in the way of the triumph of wind energy, one stands out: the lack of cheap, efficient, safe means to store power in large amounts. Energy providers and wind farm owners around the world are scrambling to developstorage for wind energy in order to secure availability and improve profits.
This conference is to present and discuss the range of State-0f-The-Art wind energy storage technologies in the scope of e-energy and e-mobility applications. The conference only looks at technologies that are mature enough to be deployed on an industrial scale by 2020.
Topics include:
- Market drivers and future challenges for wind energy storage technologies
- State-of-the-Art Wind energy storage technologies: Pumped Hydro storage, Battery storage, Compressed Air Energy storage & Flow wheels
- Hydrogene storage & the Power-to-gas concept: Future solution for long-term large scale storage?
- Tomorrows e-vehicles storing wind energy
