Power Grid Transformation: Grid Scale Storage and Solutions

Power Grid Transformation: Grid Scale Storage and Solutions

The electrical grid is undergoing the biggest transformation since its inception. This seminar explores how grid-scale battery storage is enabling this evolution, shifting us from a baseload power system, to one dominated by distributed, intermittent renewables. The seminar will examine the practical engineering constraints, operational characteristics and the growth of storage. It will also address how the storage solutions support the electrification efforts for a resilient and future-proof power system.
