On 27 June, at the Institute of Flow Machines of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Gdańsk, the Conference “Technology for Distributed Energy - Low-carbon Home Gyms in the Context of the Winter Package”, organized by the Institute of Flow Machines of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Gdańsk and the Committee of Energy Problems of the Polish Academy of Sciences, under the patronage of the President of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

The planned conference is addressed to representatives of the world of science as well as to interested companies and businesses. We hope that this initiative will be a good opportunity to exchange experience in important areas such as modern anti-smog technologies, discussion of research plans and the intentions of companies and companies; it will also be a platform to plan joint actions. The organizers' intention is to organise a new type of conference. We plan less scientific papers, while we will spend more time on bilateral talks and establishing partnerships.

Motivation: Distributed energy is now a dynamically developing power plant. Distributed sources use different technologies for producing electricity from both renewable and conventional sources, often in combination with heat generation. Scattered power plants include small power plants, coal or biomass heat plants, hydroelectric plants, wind farms, solar power plants, biogas plants, biomass gas systems and thermal waste treatment. Distributed generation also includes prosumers, generating energy for their own use and giving surplus energy to the electricity grid. The solutions supporting the development of so-called civic energy are enshrined in the European Commission regulation of 30 November 2016 known as the Winter Package.

Diversification of energy sources and avoiding excessive installed capacity is an increase in the energy security of the region and the country. Other fundamental advantages of distributed energy include the possibility of using local energy resources, the possibility of producing different types of energy in cogeneration (trigeneration) at the place of demand for heat (and cold), the reduction of transmission losses and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (in cogeneration and renewable energy).

The first edition of the Conference on Distributed Energy Technologies - Low-carbon Home Gyms in the context of the Winter Package is dedicated to home cogeneration gyms and low-carbon solid fuel burning technologies. In various regions of Poland, so-called anti-smog resolutions imposing restrictions on emissions from small sources are implemented to protect air cleanliness. These standards can be met with low-carbon home gyms. It is estimated that in Poland there are technical conditions for installing CHP micro-installations powered by solid fuels in about 3 million households in place of old high-carbon boilers. Such installations not necessarily powered by the highest quality fuel will allow the maximum use of primary energy in the fuel through simultaneous generation of heat and electricity, and equipped with individual electrofilters will allow a significant reduction of emissions in our immediate environment, especially suspended dust PM10 and PM2.5.
