8th International Renewable Energy Storage Conference and Exhibition(IRES 2013) Berlin, bcc Berliner Congress Center November 18-20, 2013
Due to the enormous successes of past IRES Conferences EUROSOLAR and the World Council for Renewable Energy (WCRE) strengthen the IRES series in 2013. The 8th International Renewable Energy Storage Conference and Exhibition (IRES 2013) will take place at the bcc Berliner Congress Center, November 18-20, 2013. IRES has emerged as the central platform for sharing knowledge and exchanging ideas on one of the key issues of future energy supply. IRES 2012 attracted delegates from more than 40 countries with more than 600 attendees and repeated the success of the previous year.
The Call for Abstracts of the IRES 2013 is now open!
+++++++ NEWS: The deadline for the submission of abstracts has been extended in response to a large number of requests received! New deadline: May 29, 2013 ++++++
Summary of important dates:
May 29, 2013 - Extended deadline for submission of abstracts June 30, 2013 - End of cursory review (abstracts) September 15, 2013 - Deadline for submission of full papers October 15, 2013 - End of cursory review (full papers)
Speakers (giving lectures and poster presentations) participate in discounted event registration.
You are invited to submit abstracts of projects addressing the following topics: TECHNOLOGIES, SYSTEMS, PLANTS & SCENARIOS
Storage technology for electrical energy, heat and mobility (electrochemical, electrostatic, electromechanical, electro-dynamic, chemical, thermal and thermo-chemical)
The need for storage capacity: scenarios and assessment studies for all applications and energy sectors
Strategies for systems with a high share of Renewable Energy and 100% Renewable Energy systems – focus on the use of storage
Connecting electric-drive vehicles and the electric grid (vehicle to grid)
Smart grid concepts and hybrid and combined Renewable Energy power plants/virtual power plants with Renewable Energy
Heat storage for buildings and industrial applications
Compact thermal energy storage: design of reactors, heat exchanger development, optimization of heat and mass transport as well as simulations of all these aspects
High temperature storage for Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technologies
Products, management strategies and field experience with storage systems to increase self-consumption of photovoltaic energy from owned facilities as well as off-grid and micro-grid systems
NETWORKS
Electric grids and storage - supplements and competition
Distributed and decentralized electricity storage as virtual large-scale storage facility
CHP and heating networks, use of new or existing thermal storage in the power grids
High temperature storage for solar thermal power plants (CSP) or compressed air energy storage
Interaction of the energy networks for power, gas and heat
Cross-sectoral use of energy storage systems: Power-to-Gas, Power-to-Heat, Power-to-Mobility, Power-to-Chemicals
POLITICS, POLICIES, LAW AND MARKET
The legal, political, social, national economic and market economic aspects of integrating energy storage into the energy supply system
Market entry strategies and the associated business and cost models for the operation of storage systems and hybrid and combined Renewable Energy power plants/virtual power plants under different economic and technological frameworks (developed countries, developing countries, emerging economies)
And in particular: realized systems and operational experience
All topics can be considered from a technical, an economic as well as from an ecological point of view.
Paper presentation or poster exhibition:
Submissions will be presented as paper or poster presentations. A0 size poster walls will be available. As part of the conference, posters will be presented in prime space where the attendees can view them also during breaks. Furthermore, additional time slots -during which no parallel presentations or lectures are taking place - will be reserved for discussion and presentation of the posters.
Submission:
Please click here to register at our abstract management system and to upload the abstract of your paper or poster concept.
Formalities:
300 words maximum
two optional pages maximum, including charts or diagrams with captions and explanatory remarks
Font: Times New Roman, 12 pt; title in capital letters
Single line spacing
Word document or PDF file
Assessment of abstracts:
When the deadline for submissions has past the abstracts will be evaluated by the steering committee based on content, form, and suitability for the event. The steering committee is fully authorized to reject contributions. The decision by the steering committee is final.
After the conference, the best and most interesting papers will be published in the 'Solarzeitalter' magazine.
Speakers (giving lectures and poster presentations) participate in discounted event registration.
