Reinventing Energy: Advancing Renewables & Smarter Energy With Machine Intelligence
(PRWEB) October 21, 2016 -- By 2020, renewable energy sources such as wind and solar will be cheap and easy to manage. Technological advances, environmental concerns and political backing will drive their adoption around the world.
Renewable energy is entering a virtuous circle, with rising investment (over £15.2bn in the UK last year alone) and greater deployment bringing down costs. There is no better evidence of that than the Paris Agreement clinched in December.
Fossil fuels, in contrast, appear locked in a downward spiral, in which financial and political misfortune feed off each other.
Against this backdrop of rapid change and innovation across the energy landscape, New Scientist and RE•WORK are hosting a 1 day Reinventing Energy Summit on 25 November, with over 200 attendees coming together to discover rapidly advancing technologies impacting energy from thought leaders in the field.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Neal Coady, Head of Innovation, British Gas
- Manish Naik, Senior Technology Associate, BP
- Sara Bell, CEO & Founder, Tempus Energy
- Arthur Kay, CEO, bio-bean
- Andrew Haslett, Chief Engineer, Energy Technologies Institute
- Molly Webb, Founder, Energy Unlocked
- Simon Roberts, Chief Executive, Centre for Sustainable Energy
- Howard Porter, CEO, BEAMA
The event is a unique opportunity to meet the business leaders, data scientists, engineers, government and entrepreneurs progressing renewable energy generation and integration all in the same room.
Companies attending include: National Grid, Centrica, Imperial College London, Mercuria, BBC, Enzen, Open Energi, Ofgem and T&M Services.
Agenda topics will include:
- Machine Learning
- Internet of Things
- Smart Energy Storage
- Smart Grid
- Next-Generation Battery Storage
- Renewables
- Computational Sustainability
- Intelligent Automated Systems

As IEA executive director Fatih Birol put it, on the eve of the Paris climate talks:
“There should be no energy company in the world who would believe that climate policies will not affect their businesses. If any company believes that climate policies are [just] the issue of the NGOs and think tanks, they are making a grave mistake.”
If the last five years saw rapid change, the next five hold even more radical changes in store which is why the Reinventing Energy Summit is a must attend date in any energy customer’s diary.
