Description

Meeting 3: Can wind power live up to expectations?

A fossil-free, reliable EU-wide electricity supply in 2050.
Transition to a CO2-free and on a mix of largely renewable energy sources. The challenges and possible solutions. A series of 5 meetings.
The EU's challenging 2050 target for a low-CO2 energy system can be achieved partly through CO2-free electricity generation. The study - Power Roadmap 2050 - by European Climate Foundation (ECF) shows that this is possible while maintaining a reliable, stable electricity system. Wind power occupies an important place in this. For instance, in the ECF scenario, in which renewables contribute 80%, wind power should contribute 30%, requiring 435 GW of installed wind capacity. In this third meeting, the tremendous challenges, which the electricity system will face, with large-scale incorporation of wind power will be discussed in more detail. The strong fluctuations in it call for formidable solutions. How predictable is wind, how good are wind turbines in 2050, and should temporary storage play a role? How important is route Siemens is choosing with "from Power To Gas"? This programme will delve deeper into these and other questions.

Discussion and conclusion

Two more meetings will follow in the autumn, the content of which will be announced later. As a conclusion to the series of lectures, in the last meeting we will illuminate the concrete situation for the Netherlands.
As someone interested in these issues, you should definitely not miss any of these meetings.
