Non-Battery Energy Storage

April 29-30, 2021 | Online ::

0421-non-battery-storage

Due to growing concerns about the environmental impacts of fossil fuels and the capacity and resilience of energy grids around the world, stakeholders continue to turn their attention to various energy storage solutions. Energy storage is not a new concept. Batteries have been used since the early 1800s and pumped-storage hydropower has been operating in the United States since the 1920s. But the demand for a more dynamic and cleaner grid has led to a significant increase in the construction of new energy storage projects, and to the development of new or better energy storage solutions.

The storage developments in the past two years have shown that battery storage is not the only game in town as there are many ways of storing energy. As a matter of fact, globally 99% of energy storage is non-battery and 97% in the U.S. is non-battery. Cost projections for non-battery storage are starting to be made public, and these non-battery technologies will be gaining a lot more attention in the years ahead. This course will show how big of an impact non-battery storage has and will have in the future. The importance of non-battery storage for power providers, grid operators, developers, energy-storage integrators, and more cannot be stressed enough.

We will be using Microsoft Teams to facilitate your participation in the upcoming event. You do not need to have an existing Teams account in order to participate in the broadcast – the course will play in your browser and you will have the option of using a microphone to speak with the room and ask questions, or type any questions in via the chat window and our on-site representative will relay your question to the instructor.

• IMPORTANT NOTE: After November 30 you will not be able to join a Teams meeting using Internet Explorer 11. Microsoft recommends downloading and installing the Teams app if possible. You may also use the Edge browser or Chrome.
• You will receive a meeting invitation will include a link to join the meeting.
• Separate meeting invitations will be sent for the morning and afternoon sessions of the course.
  • You will need to join the appropriate meeting at the appropriate time.
• If you are using a microphone, please ensure that it is muted until such time as you need to ask a question.
• The remote meeting connection will be open approximately 30 minutes before the start of the course. We encourage you to connect as early as possible in case you experience any unforeseen problems.
