RLI at International Renewable Energy Storage Conference 2016 (IRES)

RLI presented some of its newest research results at this year’s International Renewable Energy Storage Conference (IRES) on March 15-17 in Düsseldorf, Germany:

  • Storage demand in interconnected central and residential electricity systems
    (Caroline Möller,Session: Applications, Case Studies and Scenarios)
  • Electrification planning with focus on hybrid mini-grids – a comprehensive planning approach for the global south
    (Philipp Blechinger, Session: Politics, Economics & Law)
  • Analysis of potential single and combined business models for stationary battery storage systems
    (Matthias Resch, poster sessions)
  • Cost-self-sufficiency-tradeoff in a real-life urban mircogrid with electric vehicles
    (Alexander Wanitschke, poster sessions)

Overall it was concluded that storage options are already an important flexibility option and are necessary to guarantee security of supply within a renewable energy system. However today’s regulatory framework still isn’t treating storage options fairly and equally.
