Forum
Agricultural PV: Combining Photovoltaics and Agriculture

Thursday, June 20, 2024, 11:45 am - 12:40 pm

Messe München Hall A3, Booth A3.150

Agricultural PV is on the rise - in many European countries, this application, which combines agriculture and PV on the same piece of land, is on the verge of a market breakthrough. The beneficial effects of PV systems on many types of crops as well as dual land use and protecting agricultural activity by avoiding competition for land are some clear advantages. In this session, pioneering agricultural PV companies will present their projects and best practices, demonstrate the profitability of agricultural PV and the benefits of this combination for agriculture and power generation.

Joint Session
The Most Important Regulatory Developments for the Energy Storage Industry

Tuesday, May 06, 2025, 02:30 pm - 04:00 pm

ICM München Room 5

To provide much-needed flexibility to the increasingly renewables-dominated power systems, energy storage requires suitable market schemes and fair market conditions. Although authorities are increasingly recognizing the benefits of storage, regulations are still lagging behind. Lack of contracted revenues, barriers to co-location with PV, and an uneven playing field for European cleantech manufacturers are only a few examples of where storage needs regulatory action.In this panel, experts discuss the most exciting developments in regulatory frameworks, their suitability for unlocking the full potential of energy storage as well as necessary improvements.

Joint Session
Quality Indicators in C&I Storage Systems: What to Look For

Wednesday, May 07, 2025, 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

ICM München Room 5

As the share of fluctuating electricity producers (PV and wind power) continues to grow, electric energy storage systems will have to fulfill more and more functions in the grid. Batteries play a particularly important role here. From commercial and industrial storage systems to utility-scale storage systems for multi-use cases, the requirements are increasing. Key quality indicators are not only safety (including functional safety) but also reliability as well as performance, defined by efficiency and effectiveness, over an ideally long service life. Compliance with site-specific requirements, such as noise generation, is also important. In this session, these aspects will be examined from different points of view, providing recommendations beyond existing standards based on operating experience.

How Do We Design the Electricity Grids of the Future? Challenges and Solutions

The smarter E Podcast Episode 158 | November 30, 2023 | Language: German

Everyone probably knows the frustrating feeling of being stuck in an endless waiting loop. Unfortunately, this doesn't just apply to calls to insurance companies or customer service centres. 'Please hold the line' also affects our electricity grids, which are increasingly waiting for the urgently needed connection. The energy transition is stalling because grid expansion cannot keep pace with the rapid expansion of renewable energies and electrification. In this episode, we talk about the challenges and solutions that will also be discussed at the Future Electricity Grids 2024 conference in Berlin. Prof Dr. Jochen Kreusel and Dr. Philipp Strauß provide an insight into the current status quo and the latest developments in electricity grids.

Timeline:

  • 02:00 The slow pace of grid expansion was a much-discussed topic at the 2023 Grid Conference. What has happened since then?
  • 06:31 Transmission or distribution networks – what are the bigger challenges? And why?
  • 10:49 As grid expansion is simply not happening fast enough, smart solutions to make better use of the existing distribution grid are becoming increasingly important. What are the latest developments in this area?
  • 19:26 System stability is also an important topic at the Grid Conference. What are the latest developments?
