Invitation to the debate
MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE
NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN THE ENERGY SECTOR

PAP Press Centre, ul. Bracka 6/8, Warsaw
A breakthrough in the energy sector is soon to come. The recent acceleration in works relating to new technological solutions has been brought about by factors such as requirements connected with the increasing number of end users connected to networks, increasing prices and breakdowns in energy supply. The revolution in the production and transmission of energy will soon be comparable to the revolution in respect of the development of the Internet or mobile networks.
Everything seems to suggest that there will soon be intelligent electricity systems that will help increase the efficiency of the use of electricity transmission and distribution. We will start to burn coal in oxygen and will cease worrying about the excessive emission of CO2 into the atmosphere. Meanwhile, instead of pouring petrol or diesel into fuel tanks, we will use nitrogen capsules or special batteries. In addition, we will soon be able to make use of intelligent systems based inter alias on renewable energy sources, energy-saving solutions or zero-emissions technologies. The debate will focus on how this energy revolution is to take place, and when. We have invited experts that deal on a day-to-day basis with changing our dreams into actual solutions in practice to speak at the event.
We will talk in more detail about technologies, which, according to the policies of the UE, will change the energy landscape of Europe. We will discuss the situation on the biogas market, incineration plants and so called prosumer energy (energy sources of small power – e.g. photovoltaics, wind mills, water and gas power plants). We will also present simulations that will explain how these sources could balance the domestic energy market. The time is ticking in favour of the dispersed energy generation as the total energy balance for 2015 will not be closed. As a result search for new solutions becomes a necessity. It is quicker to build an energy source of 1 kW than a source capable of producing 1600 MW. 1kW may not be a lot but there is over 1.5 mln agricultural households and 3 mln of houses which altogether sum up to a potential of 4.5 mln households. Even a partial use of it by installing pico-sources of 2-3kW of power will sum up to total power equaling the capacity of the nuclear energy program. However, in order to facilitate the development of dispersed generation new legislative regulations as to the prosumer activities have to come into play, starting with removal of obstacles for investors who are willing to build such small energy sources.
