IPowerE One Day Seminar

‘Diverse Solutions for De-Carbonisation’

27 September 2023 - IGEM House, Kegworth


This one-day Seminar is aimed at examining today's energy challenges demand a full range of solutions to de-carbonise the power sector. Conventional gas fired plant will continue to support the Energy Transition, with changes to despatch, control, and fuels used.


Energy storage will, be it in battery or grid scale solutions, be used to complement renewable systems, deployed at increasing scale. Grid control and management will assume great importance as today's energy transmission and distribution systems are adapted to meet tomorrow's requirements. This seminar will bring many of these themes together, providing information and the opportunity for discussion and debate amongst your Power Engineering peers. With the added opportunities for networking and discussions in smaller groups during the day and the excellent venue, this should be both an informative

and enjoyable day.
