Dear Participants,
Unlike any other component in our energy system, energy storage has to satisfy the requirements of the system on two sides: The energy source and the consumer. This high degree of connectivity and complexity makes it not easy to explain the benefit of energy storage to the system in simple words.
Energy storage provides multiple benefits for the system by technical, economic and social means. As an example we can mention the benefits of integrating renewable energies – certainly a matter of high social impact – by “flexible” sector coupling through energy storage. “Flexible” sector coupling connects the electricity sector with the mobility and thermal sector. For technical reasons only the implementation of storage can provide temporal flexibility between supply and demand. However unquantified remains the economic evaluation of these benefits for the energy system.
The questions, what is the value of energy storage for the energy system, what will be the role of energy storage under the regime of sector coupling and finally what can be the contribution of thermal energy storage technologies in the future shall be the main topics of the
ENERGY STORAGE EUROPE Conference 2020. The event provides a unique opportunity to discuss the topics like:
- Benefit of Energy Storage for the Energy System
- Energy Storage for Power-to-X Applications
- International Markets for Storage Solutions
- Best Practice Examples – today and tomorrow
in conjunction with a scientific conference, the
International Renewable Energy Storage Conference IRES, and our trade fair,
ENERGY STORAGE EUROPE.
As a participant, you will find out about innovative ideas from research and development as well as the latest energy storage systems on the market. At the same time, you have the opportunity to communicate with leading protagonists. The focus is on interaction here. And this is the exact reason why we need you at
ENERGY STORAGE EUROPE!
I am looking forward to your participation.
Dr. Andreas Hauer
Chairman, ESE conference
