Session 5: Storage
16:00 - 17:30
Chair: Patrick Clerens, Secretary General, European Power Plant Suppliers Association (EPPSA),
Another vital approach to supporting variable renewables is the use of energy storage technologies which allow output volatility to be effectively smoothed. While there is no doubt that engineering challenges remain, the accelerating pace of development means that storage must be considered a part of the solution. This session considers both key storage technologies and their considerable market opportunities.
