Energy Storage: Gaps and Opportunities Analysis
Tue, 24 May 2022, 09:30 – 16:30 BST

Recording of this event is available here

The workshop aims to identify opportunities arising in specific market sectors relevant to energy storage. These opportunities should be entirely technology-agnostic – pointing out the characteristics that will be required for the energy storage system but refraining from any constraint concerning what technology could be used to exploit the opportunity. The event is organised by Dr. Jianing Li from University of Birmingham as part of the Supergen Energy Storage Network+ Flexible Fund Programme.

The event will be “face-to-face” with a mix of presentations and discussions.

Invited speakers include:

• Energy storage for balancing the electricity grid in net zero world – which discharge durations and which charge durations will dominate? by Prof. Seamus D. Garvey, University of Nottingham

• Electrical energy storage for electrical power systems by Dr. Wei He, University of Warwick

• Recognising and overcoming challenges in fuel free CAES development by Dr. Edward Barbour, University of Loughborough

• Power-to-Fuel: Renewable Energy Storage via Green Hydrogen Production and Utilisation by Dr. Hui Luo, Imperial College London

• Energy storage for UK’s secure and sustainable energy future by Dr. Amruta Joshi, Warwick Manufacturing Group

• Reviewing Energy Storage Policy in the UK and beyond: enabling a low-carbon energy system by Chris Harrison, University of Birmingham
