Long-term Effects of COVID-19 on the Storage Market

The smarter E Podcast Episode 07 | July 02, 2020

Obviously, one cannot talk about energy transition or the new energy world without talking about energy storage. And when you talk about energy storage, mostly you talk about lithion-ion-batteries as these are one of the most important forms of energy storage at the moment.

In this episode, we want to specificly focus on the bankability of energy storage, the market predictions for the next years and the three most important drivers behind the market of energy storage.

The smarter E podcast is all about the current trends and developments in a renewable, decentralized and digital energy industry. Our moderators Tobias Bücklein and Zackes Brustik welcome and interview personalities who shape our industry and drive developments forward. A new episode is published every Thursday.

While predictive maintenance has become a well-known concept in battery energy storage, the next step is predictive operation. This approach aims not only to prevent failures, but also to continuously optimize system operation in real time. The goal is to maximize the performance, efficiency and lifetime of the existing hardware in each specific use case. Predictive operation extends beyond the battery cells themselves: Adaptive thermal management, intelligent inverter control and optimal coordination of power electronics all play a crucial role. By anticipating system behavior under different operating scenarios, predictive operation enables asset owners and operators to extract greater value from their storage systems while improving reliability and integration with renewable generation. This session will highlight the latest methods, control strategies and demonstration results that bring predictive operation from research into practice.
