We speak with Dr. Andeas Piepenbrink about electricity storage

Bidirectional charging optimizes the use of renewable energy, driving the energy transition forward at an even greater pace.

Chapter 4 sheds light on how resilience and inventiveness can turn crises into new opportunities.

This session will explore use cases that, for various reasons, are currently not experiencing such a strong boom but may or will become important in the future. This includes district storage concepts, as an essential part of energy communities, and energy storage in multi-family dwellings.

Innovation is driving the storage industry in the global marketplace and users are reaping the benefits: From battery cells with longer life spans and battery system solutions with high packing densities, advanced cooling designs and battery management systems to intelligent power electronics and energy management solutions with the highest demands on safety, reliability and efficiency. This session will present a selection of the latest and most interesting technologies.

The utility-scale BESS market in Germany has taken off in the last two years. Typical project size has increased by an order of magnitude over that timeframe from 20 MW to 200 MW. The number of developers in this space has grown at a similar rate. But how can developers make key decisions around project design when they are often not the long-term asset owners? How integrated are developers with investors during the project design phase, and what could be done more effectively?In this panel, major players from the investor and developer communities will discuss project design, commercial models including the rise of contracted offtake, and expected returns in this fast-growing market.
