Joint Session
The Most Important Regulatory Developments for the Energy Storage Industry

Tuesday, May 06, 2025, 02:30 pm - 04:00 pm

ICM München Room 5

To provide much-needed flexibility to the increasingly renewables-dominated power systems, energy storage requires suitable market schemes and fair market conditions. Although authorities are increasingly recognizing the benefits of storage, regulations are still lagging behind. Lack of contracted revenues, barriers to co-location with PV, and an uneven playing field for European cleantech manufacturers are only a few examples of where storage needs regulatory action.In this panel, experts discuss the most exciting developments in regulatory frameworks, their suitability for unlocking the full potential of energy storage as well as necessary improvements.

Joint Session
Quality Indicators in C&I Storage Systems: What to Look For

Wednesday, May 07, 2025, 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

ICM München Room 5

As the share of fluctuating electricity producers (PV and wind power) continues to grow, electric energy storage systems will have to fulfill more and more functions in the grid. Batteries play a particularly important role here. From commercial and industrial storage systems to utility-scale storage systems for multi-use cases, the requirements are increasing. Key quality indicators are not only safety (including functional safety) but also reliability as well as performance, defined by efficiency and effectiveness, over an ideally long service life. Compliance with site-specific requirements, such as noise generation, is also important. In this session, these aspects will be examined from different points of view, providing recommendations beyond existing standards based on operating experience.

What Opportunities Do Stationary and Mobile Battery Storage Systems Offer for a Sustainable Energy Supply?

The smarter E Podcast Episode 161 | January 4, 2024 | Language: German

While fossil fuels are permanently available, solar and wind power often have to be stored temporarily so that they can be used when needed. Alongside hydrogen, batteries play a key role in storage and are increasingly being used in both mobile e-vehicles and stationary applications. But do battery storage systems have sufficient potential for the energy transition? What developments can still be expected? And what role will e-vehicles play as rolling energy storage systems for the future energy system? In this episode, we talk about this with Jan Figgener from RWTH Aachen University.

Timeline:

  • 02:21 The battery storage market is complex. What developments and trends can currently be observed in Germany?
  • 07:07 There is a lot of potential in electric vehicles. How can this dormant potential really be used to stabilise the grid?
  • 11:55 Will battery ageing end up being a problem, especially when implementing vehicle-to-X solutions? What can be done to counter this?
  • 18:56 What can we expect in the future? For example, what is currently being worked on or can we expect new battery technologies?
