The keynote speech "Redispatch 3.0 - Data Space and Intelligent Energy Management in the Distribution Grid" will be given by Prof. Dr. Michael Laskowski(Opens in a new tab) from the Faculty of Information Technology at Fachhochschule Dortmund. Practice-oriented presentations will delve deeper into the topic in the following session. A second session will deal specifically with artificial intelligence in districts and in the distribution grid.
The second day of the conference will focus on physical technology. The keynote speech by Oliver Warweg from the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation (IOSB) will kick off with a presentation session on interconnected heating grids for industry, districts and households. Another session will look at the system view of storage-based electricity and heating grids. The program will culminate in a dialogue between the auditorium and experts from industry, energy suppliers and research institutions.
