Talk of session: Use Cases: New Challenges, New Opportunities - Explore the Potential

Energy storage is not an end in itself. The focus is usually on the economic benefits. Previous use cases are often not economically viable. In many cases, CAPEX and OPEX are still too high in relation to the yields. However, we are observing that the market is changing. New framework conditions and/or technical challenges offer opportunities for new types of storage use cases. The transformation of the energy system is giving rise to new use cases. For example, we are already seeing how grid bottlenecks are leading to critical conditions in the electricity grid. In response, transport grid operators are setting up battery storage systems known as grid boosters to test how they can use them to eliminate grid bottlenecks. But there are also many other storage options. This session will give you an insight into new projects and applications for storage systems.

The continuous improvement of network development plans and flexibility strategies is crucial for addressing the challenges of grid congestion and ensuring effective capacity management. Innovative deployment strategies and business models promote the seamless integration of storage systems, which in turn enhances grid stability and optimizes energy management system costs. At the same time we look in this session at the dynamic landscape of large, grid-connected storage that requires careful consideration of integration timelines to ensure sustainable and future-proof energy utilization.
