Utility Energy Storage Europe

The SMi Group is proud to present its 3rd annual Utility Energy Storage Europe conference, taking place on the 18th and 19th of June 2014, in London, UK.

This industry leading conference will provide attendees with a thorough examination of the transformation underway in technology and application developments for distributed and grid-scale energy storage.

Focusing on the latest research, pilot project updates, and technological challenges and breakthroughs, this informative event will bring together leaders in the field to provide attendees with an in-depth look into the current status of storage.

Key Topic Insights:

•Deploying storage devices that allow renewable energy to be fully integrated onto the grid
•Microgrids: What does an energy self-sufficient solution look like at the level of an “island” community?
•Exploring the advantages of edge-of-grid over centralised storage and coupling with local DC demand
•How VRFB grid-scale technology will meet the need for efficient distributed storage

Plus, visit the Interactive Full-Day Pre-Conference Workshop (Tuesday, 17th June 2014, London): Development, process, preparation and management of an energy storage pilot.

Workshop Leader: Dr. Ian Whyte, Director, Potential Reactions Limited.
