Wind to Wheel W2W 2011: The role of renewable energy and electric vehicle in the future electricity system

The goal of W2W 2011 is providing a space to discuss the challenges of an electrical system with increasing penetration of renewables and electric vehicles.

After an introduction about the general framework of the future electricity system by Leonardo ENERGY, there will be a review of the main renewable technologies, including Solar Thermal Electricity (by Luis Crespo, president of the European Solar Thermal Electricity Industry Association), Photovoltaics (by Eduardo Collado, technical director of the Spanish PV Industry Association) and Wind Off-shore (by Andreas Sumper - CITCEA-UPC & IREC).

The afternoon will be dedicated to the electric vehicle in its economic and technical aspects, including the impact on the electricity grid. A view on some projects will be provided, together with a view on electrical energy storage.
