Latest development in technologies and tools to guide the evaluations of energy storage opportunities as well as critical update on facilitating the establishment of industry-wide standards to ease widespread adoption of energy storage in order to meet the growing demands and ranges of possible markets.
In pursuit of a clean energy future, this has significantly increased energy storage development efforts. As such, energy storage should be available to industry and regulators as an effective option to resolve issues of grid resiliency and reliability. Time has been set aside to discuss latest developments in technologies and tools to guide the evaluations of energy storage opportunities, planning and implementing energy storage projects, issues on validation of the safety, reliability and performance of energy storage, including development of a protocol to measure and report performance of energy storage technology, the importance of collaboration and partnerships to facilitate renewable integration and enhanced grid resilience as well as discussion on resolving major challenges that are hampering widespread deployment of grid energy storage including removing unnecessary barriers to deployment and facilitate the establishment of industry-wide standards to ease widespread adoption of storage.
