Talk of session: The Importance of Large-Scale Energy Storage for Energy Transition and Grid Stability

With the growth of distributed generation and of variable sources, such as solar and wind, energy storage becomes increasingly important to provide grid stability and the flexibility needed for a low-carbon energy transition. This session will explore the importance of large-scale energy storage applications, such as reserve capacity and provisioning of ancillary services in international markets, as well as in Brazil.
