"Resilient. Regional. Regenerative. New energy concepts for industry"
In light of the growing challenges posed by climate change, geopolitical uncertainties and fluctuating prices on the energy market, the issue of security of supply remains of central importance for industry. The spring symposium of the Competence Centre for Sustainable Energy Technology (KET) at Paderborn University in cooperation with the SICP - Software Innovation Campus Paderborn will take place on Thursday, 26 February, to promote exchange on this topic. From 1.30 p.m. to 7 p.m., participants can discuss the promising approaches offered by decentralised energy systems – for greater resilience, sustainability, and efficiency. Interested parties can register until 20 February and can find further information on the KET website. Participation is free of charge.
The spring symposium brings together experts from science, industry and politics to discuss innovative concepts, technological solutions and practical strategies. Participants will focus on the question of how a robust, decentralised energy supply can be sustainably designed and ensured in times of climate change and increasing energy demand. The focus will be on flexible energy systems, sector coupling, storage technologies, regulatory frameworks and microgrids, i.e. small, smart energy systems that generate, store and distribute energy locally. The spring symposium will feature keynote speeches, keynote speeches from the field and a panel discussion. With the motto "Resilient. Regional. Regenerative. New energy concepts for industry", the event will provide impetus for the transformation of industrial energy supply.
About the Competence Centre for Sustainable Energy Technology
The KET is a central scientific institution of Paderborn University, where interdisciplinary energy technology expertise is bundled. The scientists research cross-sectoral concepts, systems and components in order to realise the energy transition in the electricity, heating, industrial and mobility sectors. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Electrical Science, Electrical Engineering and Mathematics are involved in the KET.
