Talk of session: DG 2.0 - The Role of Distributed Energy Storage for Consumers and Electric Mobility

During recent years distributed generation has achieved impressive growth rates in Brazil. So far, participants in the DG compensation scheme have been using the public grid as a 'virtual battery'. This session will explore the role and economic feasibility of energy storage for individual consumers, as well as an enabler for electric mobility.
