CET2024
Converging Energy Technologies 2024
CET2024 – September 18-20, at Oskarshamn Sweden.
Conference brief
The rapid integration of renewables within the energy system in combination with the event of new technologies like small nuclear reactors (SMR) are transforming tomorrow’s energy system.
The conference will present new energy technologies and their system aspects at national, regional, and local level with emphasis on the convergence of nuclear, including SMR, with the full and complex energy system.

Converging Technologies
Converging technologies describes the development of different technologies into a single new technology. The origin was framed early on e.g to describe the relation between medicin and engineering, resulting in new technologies like biomedical engineering.
Today the term is frequently used within the media landscape, where the present smart mobile telephones combine a set of different technologies.
To quote Wikipedia:
“Technological convergence, is the tendency for technologies that were originally unrelated to become more closely integrated and even unified as they develop and advance.”

Within the field of energy, we see similar trends that CET2024 is addressing, where different technologies like energy storage, hydrogen production, district heating, smart grid, nuclear, hydro, wind and solar power are integrated to form a new smart energy system. The advance of small nuclear reactors (SMR) is central in speeding up the process of converging energy technologies.
