Discover Solutions, Discuss the Future – Empowering Europe’s Grids
The European distribution grids are facing major challenges. An estimated 600 GW of renewable energy, 50 million electric cars and 50 million heat pumps need to be integrated into the power grids by 2030. All technologically feasible, but the factors of time, money, resources and regulation also play a role in the solution.
Discover the technological innovations to meet these challenges at EM-Power Europe from May 7–9, 2025. And discuss new business models, market designs and regulations with leading energy experts at the EM-Power Europe Conference from May 6–7, 2025. Both events are part of The smarter E Europe, Europe’s largest alliance of exhibitions for the energy industry.
Look forward to many highlights with us, such as the Start-up Area, the special exhibit Bidirectional Charging, and the presentation of The smarter E AWARD. Or join us for our Bavarian Night on May 6 to toast with a freshly tapped beer. We look forward to welcoming you in Munich.
Penn State Student Refines 100-Year-Old Math Problem, Expanding Wind Energy Possibilities
A Penn State engineering student refined a century-old math problem into a simpler, more elegant form, making it easier to use and explore. Divya Tyagi’s work expands research in aerodynamics, unlocking new possibilities in wind turbine design that Hermann Glauert, a British aerodynamicist and the original author, did not consider.

ees Europe: The Rise of Large Scale Storage Systems – Driving Growth in the Storage Market
The energy transition has reached a crucial point. The steady growth in power generated by renewable sources of energy is, in turn, giving rise to greater demand for effective grid stabilization solutions. Large-scale battery storage systems play a vital role in this regard – they are not only the answer to grid integration challenges, but also a key driving force behind the enormous growth in the storage market.
The Faroe Islands – A Space Program That Never Leaves Earth
While others race to the moon and back, the Faroe Islands space program takes a bold new step in space exploration—without ever leaving Earth. One of the largest bearing manufacturers SKF, and ocean energy developer Minesto are launching a space program to harness the Moon’s energy by leveraging the power of the tides. This space program aims to utilize the resources we already have right here on Earth.
Q ENERGY Builds an 8.5 MWp PV Park in France
Q ENERGY announced the construction of the Cahuzac sur Adour solar park in the Gers region, France. Once operational, this 8.5 MWp photovoltaic power plant will provide 4,900 people with green energy and avoid the emission of 2,600 tons of CO2 per year.
Engineering a Greener Future — Turning Pollution Into Renewable Energy Catalysts
Pollution is the introduction of unnatural, harmful substances into the environment at a faster rate than they can naturally dissipate. While pollution has always existed alongside civilization, its rapid increase in modern times has become a serious concern. The urgent need to cut pollution worldwide has accelerated efforts and has now turned to waste to find sustainable solutions
