Description

Energy hydrology: the profession of the future.

Renewable energy has been in the spotlight recently. Wind and solar energy are well-known sources, but energy can also be obtained from tides.

One problem with these renewable sources is that they supply at a time determined by nature. Since energy demand also fluctuates during the day, differences arise. Therefore, the maxim is: no renewable energy without storage! This symposium will outline recent developments in this field. Besides the possibilities for tidal power plants in the delta, advantages and disadvantages of the two main types of pumped storage power plants will be discussed. Experts will shed light on the backgrounds of energy generation and storage by water and give a glimpse of future developments.

The occasion will be used to bid farewell to Mr J. van Duivendijk, who has long provided Delft students with the subject of Energy Water Engineering. He retired with effect from this academic year
