Bioenergy in Smart Grids at Milan Convention Center MiCo, Italy

The special event of the 20th EBC&E on “Bioenergy in Smart Grids” will focus on the application of bioenergy in future energy supply structures with a high share of renewable energy. Virtual power plants, energy management systems are further synonyms for a very important task for the bio energy scene: The definition of the future role of biomass in combination with other renewable energy forms and its integration in the grids. The event will give the opportunity for both communities (smart grids and bioenergy) to merge their specific views on the topic and to give each other a deeper insi

In the first part of this event a vision on the future role of bioenergy will be given. The second Part will give an overview on worldwide smart grid initiatives. In the third part of the event selected projects with bioenergy applications will be presented.
