DigiPoll@Energy
Digitalization
and Industry 4.0 have a far-reaching impact on the energy sector.
The VGB project DigiPoll@Energy analysis the as-is as well as the
to-be state of the digital transformation regarding the approach and
the digital applications. The objective of the poll is to identify
best practices across generation technologies and value chain steps
and thereby prepare the ground for joint research projects and
actions.
The
VGB members will receive an invitation via email in October 2019 to
participate in the poll.

Dispatchable
generation for flexibility in the energy system
For
integration of wind and sun into the energy system, system
flexibility is required. Flexibility can be provided by grids,
storage and sector coupling technologies, demand-side-management and
dispatchable generation. At present dispatchable generation is the
major flexibility option. On our Flexibility homepage studies and
standards provide comprehensive practical information on optimised
technical and economic plant deployment and operation.

ICCT
2019 – International Conference on Industrial Construction and
Cooling Towers
The
ICCT 2019, International Conference on Industrial Construction and
Cooling Towers, will take place on 9-12 October 2019 in Edinburgh,
Scotland.
ICCT
2019 is jointly organized and supported by CICIND, the International
Association for Industrial Construction, IASS, International
Association for Shell and Spatial Structures and VGB PowerTech e.V.
(Technical Groups „Civil Concepts/Specific Civil Solutions“ and
„Civil Structural Maintenance/Condition Monitoring“).
The
aim of the conference is to bring together all groups of experts in
building technology of Industrial Construction, in order to review
chances for cooperation in research and development. Common
interests as well as differences shall be identified in order to
find best practice methods for design and construction. The
conference offers a platform, where new developments and the
state-of-the-art in industrial and energy engineering and
construction can be presented.

Eco-berms
as dam stabiliser – EU Research project INADAR completed
Launched
in 2015 with participation of VGB PowerTech, the LIFE Project INADAR
(Innovative Approach to Dam Restoration) achieved its main
objectives by 31 July 2019. An innovative approach to ecological dam
rehabilitation has been developed and implemented on two test
tracks. The rehabilitation or increase of the dams and the
improvement of the ecological situation within the meaning of the
Water Framework Directive (WFD) is thus carried out effectively and
economically in one operation. The focus is on the installation of
so-called "eco-berms", which both ensure dam stability and
significantly improve the ecological situation in the riparian
zones. Due to the measures implemented exclusively on the water
side, intervention on the alluvial forest can be completely avoided.
