Conference Dinner
A conference dinner will be held in the Merchants' Hall. This prestigious venue is a short walk from the conference hotel and offers a perfect setting for a conference reception and dinner. The dinner will reflect a Highland Scottish theme. The cost of the dinner is included in the conference fee for paid delegates. Accompanying persons and guests are welcome at the dinner, please contact the conference office to confirm arrangements and costs. Please advise the conference office as soon as possible if there are any dietary or access requirements. |
Conference visit
Although Scotland has an extensive range of energy storage facilities, including flow battery, high temperature battery and pumped hydro storage, we regret that it has NOT been possible to arrange a visit during the conference period. Details of the installed flow battery system and other energy storage facilities will be given in one of the presentations.
Our sponsor SGL Carbon is able to invite a small number of delegates to visit their carbon fibre factory at Muir of Ord, near Inverness on Friday 6th May. By car, the journey time is 3 ½ hours, or longer each way. By coach, the journey time would be longer, and returning to Edinburgh on a Friday night might take up to 4 ½ or 5 hours.
Scottish and Southern Energy have very kindly offered a visit to their pumped hydro energy storage plant at Foyers, on the shores of Loch Ness. This is a rare opportunity to see a large scale energy storage facility, Foyers is a detour away from the main Inverness / Edinburgh road, but can be visited on the same day.
Depending on numbers, it may be possible to arrange shared transport, and also hotel accommodation in the Inverness area. Inverness is a good base for visits to the Highlands of Scotland. If shared transport is arranged using a coach, it will return to Edinburgh, but it would be possible to leave the visit in Inverness. The coach will leave Edinburgh on Thursday evening immediately after the forum and return on Friday night. The cost of the journey plus accommodation will be in the range £150 - £200.
If you wish to take part in either visit, please
register for the conference first;
inform Michael if you wish to visit SGL Michael.Steinroetter@sglcarbon.de . SGL reserve the right to limit numbers on this visit.
iIf you wish to visit Foyers, please email info@flowbatteryforum.com and indicate whether you would like to visit one or both facilities.
It will help us with arrangements if you can do this by 21 March. We can advise people of arrangements when numbers are more certain. We will send out a separate letter about the visits to all delegates and speakers after we have received their registrations.
