Transformation of the electricity grid - challenges and solutions with energy storage

We are in a time of revolutionary changes within the energy sector. This year's Advanced Energy Storage conference will focus on the technological advancements and strategic challenges faced by utility companies, transmission system operators (TSOs), distribution system operators (DSOs), and end-users in the context of energy storage. Through a series of in-depth presentations, panel discussions, and exhibitions, you now have the chance to explore the latest solutions and technologies which can help optimize energy storage and distribution.

Why is this theme important right now?

The world faces an urgent need to make the transition to renewable energy sources to combat climate change and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. Effective energy storage plays a key role in this transition and enables a more flexible and reliable energy supply. With increasing interest from both public and private sectors, it is crucial to address the operational and technical challenges which can hinder the full utilization of these technologies.

What are the key takeaways?

You will gain insights into the latest innovations and research results in energy storage. You will learn how various energy storage technologies can be integrated into energy systems, and which political and economic factors influence the implementation of these technologies. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to network with industry-leading experts and colleagues, opening up new perspectives and collaborative opportunities.

You will leave the conference with a deeper understanding of how advanced energy storage can contribute to a more sustainable and efficient energy future, and how it can help drive this necessary change.

We look forward to welcoming you to a day filled with insight, inspiration, and innovative ideas for the future of energy storage. Register now to secure your spot at the Advanced Energy Storage Conference 2024!
