Bitte beachten Sie, dass alle Konferenzsessions in englischer Sprache abgehalten werden. The rapid expansion of utility-scale and commercial battery storage is pushing technological innovation beyond today's conventional lithium-ion solutions. New cell designs and new battery chemistries, such as sodium-ion, are entering the market while system designs are evolving with innovative power electronics, system architectures and control strategies. Together, these innovations help reduce cost, boost energy density and efficiency, and improve ROI across the globe through optimized operations and increased life spans. This session will present cutting-edge developments and discuss which technologies are most likely to shape the next generation of battery energy storage.
