The Sixth Symposium on Energy Storage

Storage for energy-intensive industrial processes

Industrial plants account for almost one third of end-use energy consumption. If they are to be optimally adapted to an energy system with a high proportion of regenerative – and therefore fluctuating – electricity, energy-intensive industrial processes need to be planned differently. Harmonising the fluctuating provision of regenerative energy with consumption will be a major challenge for the industrial sector. Heat and energy storage systems help companies make their processes more flexible. But storage technologies will have to be adapted and optimised to suit industrial processes.
We warmly invite you to join us in the discussion of aspects of systems and technologies for energy-intensive industrial processes at the Sixth Symposium on Energy Storage on Wednesday, 22 February from 09:30 to 16:30.

Tutorials on energy storage technologies will be offered for the first time from 17:00 on Tuesday, 21 February 2017, before moving on to a Meet & Greet at 19:00 in which we will present our recently opened laboratory for energy storage research in the new building at the DLR site in Stuttgart!
