From 20 to 22 September 2022, SFERA-III took part in the International Renewable Energy Storage and Systems Conference (IRES 2022) with many different presentations, in Messe Düsseldorf (GE). Read more below!
About the event
Energy storage systems are the key to the successful energy transition to full renewable energy supply and are more relevant today than ever before. They address numerous challenges of the energy transition at once: stabilise the electricity grids, support the shutdown of power plants, make regionally generated electricity available locally and compensate for fluctuations in renewable energy generation.
For more than 15 years now, EUROSOLAR has dedicated the annual International Conference on Renewable Energy Storage (IRES) to this important topic. The conference, which has been organised in partnership with Messe Düsseldorf since 2015, addressed the current state of research and the social, political and legal framework conditions of energy storage technologies from 20 to 22 September 2022, as part of its exhibitions on decarbonised industries.
In up to three parallel series of lectures, experts from science, practice, politics and society focused on the current state of knowledge about energy storage.
