Overview
Batteries are rapidly becoming the dominant
form of energy storage both at the grid and end-user levels with
utilities, project developers and wholesale markets playing an important
role in bettery technology's further growth. There are a host of
applications for battery storage to include: supplying electricity;
supplying ancillary grid services such as reserve capacity, surge
capacity, load-balancing, or voltage support; supporting the grid by
reducing use of existing infrastructure or deferring the need for new
infrastructure; and firming variable generation or time shifting
generation to match load. Utility leaders are increasingly seeing how
storage can be used strategically for system support and market and
financial benefits.
This conference will discuss how industry leaders are meeting challenges
and capitalizing on opportunities related to the emerging technology of
commercial battery energy storage.
The conference agenda includes a tour of RES's Jake Energy Storage Center in Joliet, IL. An optional pre-conference workshop discussing the basics of Grid Level Battery Energy Storage is also offered.

Grid Scale Battery Energy Storage (BES) is being studied, proposed and
built all over the United States as the grid looks to BES as a solution
to support renewable energy integration, relieve congestion and defer
more expensive system upgrades. This workshop will examine battery
energy storage from a transmission system perspective.
