Highlights of Energy Research 2021 "Energy storage - key element to energy transition"
Organizer
Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK) in cooperation with:
- FFG
- Austrian Climate and Energy Fund
- AEE INTEC
- IEA ES TCP – Energy Storage Technology Collaboration Programme
Content Description
The increasing use of fluctuating renewable energy sources as well as decentralization of the energy generation call for new approaches for energy distribution and storage. Innovative technologies for energy storage and flexibilization of energy demand play an important role as key technologies on the way to a decarbonized energy system.
The event "Highlights of Energy Research" launched by the Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK) this year focused on the topic "Energy storage".
Teun Bokhoven, Chairman of the IEA Energy Storage Technology Collaboration Programme (TCP), provided insights regarding the activities of the Energy Storage TCP and talk about the importance of energy storage in the transformed global energy system.
The market analysis of energy storages in Austria as well as various research projects were then presented, which covered a wide range of topics from battery development to large-scale heat storage and sector coupling. A panel discussion on the relevance of different energy storage technologies in decarbonisation strategies of three European countries completed the programme.
The event had been held in conjunction with the IEA Energy Storage TCP's international Exco-Meeting. The TCP is engaged in research, development, implementation and integration of energy storage technologies to optimise the energy efficiency of all kinds of energy systems and to accelerate the expansion of renewable energy technologies.
This event was aimed at energy experts and interested parties from industry, science, politics and administration.
