Exploring Next-Generation Battery Storage Use Cases at EES Conference's Final Session

The final session of the EES conference focuses on exploring new opportunities and challenges in battery storage systems, with an eye toward next year's hot topics. The speaker introduces Hochschule Kempten's collaborative efforts with research-oriented universities like Technical University Munich and various industrial players to address issues such as lifetime prediction for batteries, revenue stacking applications amidst forecast uncertainty, energy management strategies, thermal equalization, and cooling strategies in multi-string systems. Attendees are invited to visit their booth at the ICM building for more information. The discussion will center around evolving use cases across three pillars: residential-sized behind-the-meter (BTM) systems aimed at self-consumption; commercial/industrial-scale installations focusing on peak shaving and demand-side management; and utility-scale setups traditionally used for ancillary services but now expanding into areas like electric vehicle charging, arbitrage trading, grid-relieving options, and multi-use case revenue stacking. Five industry experts will present short pitches followed by a Q&A session to delve deeper into these emerging trends.

Talk of session: New Challenges, New Opportunities: Next Level

Energy storage is usually not an end in itself. The technical and financial benefits are always the main concern. However, it is often difficult to prove the profitability of use cases. Acquisition or operating costs are often still too high in relation to returns. But the market is changing, and new framework conditions and regulations are creating opportunities for new use cases. The most attended session of the ees Europe Conference 2024 already gave attendees an overview. In 2025, we will take this format to the next level. In this session, you will learn more about the latest challenges and how to overcome them to create financially profitable use cases.
