SUMMARY:Digitalisation in Hydropower 2024
DESCRIPTION:Enhanced digital controls can boost hydropower performance\, cut costs\, and optimize asset management. These systems aid decision-making and enhance operational efficiency\, which is crucial as many hydropower plants require refurbishment and modernization in the coming years. Based on practical examples you will gain insights into how digital solutions are already successfully implemented and applied. \n\n\n\nIn this context and as a valuable complement to the lectures\, on October 16th all participants are invited to visit the storage hydropower plant at Walchensee where uniper will present implemented and currently tested digitalisation techniques as well as the Research Institute of the Technical University of Munich at Obernach. \n\n\n\nThe imposing storage hydropower station is considered the cradle of industrial power generation in Bavaria. Completed in 1924\, it was one of the largest hydroelectric power plants in the world at the time with an output of 124 MW. Down the road in Obernach\, the Institute of Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources at TUM carries out numerous research projects at its satellite Research Institute. \n\n\n\nThe Expert Event will bring together experts from leading operator and manufacturer companies as well as related stakeholders to discuss challenges and opportunities for the operation of hydropower fleets accruing from digital transformation. \n\n\n\nEvent Website \n\n\n\n2024-vgbe-DIGI-Programme-FlyerDownload

SUMMARY:RENEXPO – connect energies 2026
DESCRIPTION:The international trade fair for the energy systems of the future \n\n\n\nA new name\, an expanded concept and a clear strategic focus on the future\, the long-established trade fair will take place in Salzburg on 19 and 20 March 2026. What was known in 2025 as Renexpo Interhydro\, a leading trade fair for hydropower\, is now evolving into RENEXPO – connect energies: an interdisciplinary platform that goes far beyond hydropower and places the entire energy system of tomorrow at its centre. \n\n\n\nIn March\, the Messezentrum Salzburg will once again become a key meeting point for companies\, industry experts\, research institutions and political decision-makers committed to shaping a secure\, sustainable and intelligently interconnected energy supply. \n\n\n\nFrom hydropower expertise to integrated energy systems \n\n\n\nRENEXPO continues to build on its strong heritage. Hydropower remains a central pillar of the event\, highlighting why it continues to play a vital role in Austria’s and Europe’s energy mix. From Kaplan\, Pelton and Francis turbines to control and measurement technology and the revitalisation of existing plants\, the exhibition demonstrates the innovative strength and long-term relevance of this proven renewable energy source. \n\n\n\nAt the same time\, RENEXPO 2026 significantly broadens its scope. Under the guiding principle “connect energies”\, the fair reflects the understanding that future energy systems can only function through the intelligent interaction of all renewable sources. Hydropower\, solar and wind energy\, storage technologies and digital solutions must be efficiently combined and optimally integrated. \n\n\n\nFocus Topics 2026: Storage\, grids and sector coupling \n\n\n\nAs the share of volatile renewable energy sources increases\, system stability and integration become decisive factors. RENEXPO 2026 therefore places a strong emphasis on storage and grid technologies\, including: \n\n\n\n\nPumped-storage power plants and Power-to-X solutions\n\n\n\nBattery storage systems for industry\, commerce and integrated energy systems\n\n\n\nSmart grid\, control and energy management technologies\n\n\n\nNetworked energy systems\, capacity management and cross-sector coupling\n\n\n\n\nThese focus areas offer exhibitors and visitors valuable opportunities to explore innovative solutions\, establish partnerships and engage in dialogue with a highly qualified professional audience. \n\n\n\nHigh-level conference and supporting programme \n\n\n\nRENEXPO 2026 will be accompanied by a comprehensive and high-quality conference programme\, addressing both strategic and technical aspects of the energy transition. \n\n\n\nA key highlight is the opening panel discussion:“Renewable Energies in Interaction – Storage Solutions as the Key to Security of Supply.”Experts from politics\, the energy industry\, associations and research institutions will discuss the requirements for a reliable energy system and the critical role of storage technologies in ensuring security of supply. \n\n\n\nThe programme also includes specialised technical presentations\, such as:“An Oil- and PFAS-Free Lubrication Solution for Kaplan Runner Hubs\,”demonstrating how technological innovation contributes to environmental protection and operational efficiency in hydropower plants. \n\n\n\nIn addition\, RENEXPO will host a series of expert conferences organised in cooperation with vgbe energy e.V. and the Association for Ecology and Environmental Research\, offering in-depth insights\, current research findings and best-practice examples from hydropower\, storage technologies and integrated energy systems. \n\n\n\nFurther programme details and updates are available online:https://www.renexpo.at/en/program/renexpo-forum/ \n\n\n\nExhibitors and networking opportunities \n\n\n\nRENEXPO 2026 brings together a broad range of exhibitors from across the energy value chain\, including renewable energy producers\, technology providers\, grid and storage specialists\, digital solution providers and infrastructure companies. \n\n\n\n“The energy sector is undergoing rapid transformation. With RENEXPO – connect energies\, we are creating a trade fair that honours the strengths of hydropower while simultaneously opening the perspective to the entire energy system. Our aim is to connect industries\, showcase innovation and provide a place where the future of energy is actively shaped.”— Christoph Schrammel\, Exhibition Manager \n\n\n\nA complete and continuously updated list of exhibitors is available on the official RENEXPO website:https://www.renexpo.at/en/list-of-exhibitors/
