Virtual Power Plants and Innovative, Digital Solutions for the Decentralized Energy System of the Future

Free Webinar

Tuesday, November 17, 2020 | 11:00am–12:00am CET | Webinar Language: German

The amount of power generated from renewable sources depends on wind and weather conditions, as do consumption and load patterns. Virtual power plants can smooth out these fluctuations and help secure our power supply throughout the transition to increased use of renewable sources of energy.

In this webinar, EXTERNALLINK|1##next Kraftwerke , operator of one of the largest virtual power plants in Europe, will use best practice projects to illustrate the various applications and prospects these power plants offer. The company EXTERNALLINK|2##tiko energy solutions will also introduce its solutions for an intelligent energy management system coupled with a virtual power plant that is capable of integrating widely distributed energy plants and small residential buildings alike and offers commercial and private customers the same functionality as a physical power plant.

During the webinar participants can submit their questions to get them answered by the experts in the live Q&A. In addition, both the recording and the speakers' presentations are made available to all registrants after the webinar.
