Discussion paper for the workshop: European White Book on Grid-connected Storage (DRAFT) [837 KB]

This workshop is an occasion for both academic and industrial community to discuss the European White Book on Grid-connected Storage drafted by DERlab experts before its publication and wide dissemination. The White Book is a contribution for better deployment of storage systems as a whole as seen from the grid (including converters) rather than any individual device or application. The Book does not only tackle complex technical issues such as requirements on interconnections, or test procedures for selecting a suitable storage technology, but presents also clarifications on tariff structures and other economic aspects.

2nd DERlab workshop: Grid-Interfaces of Storage Systems
25th November 2009,
at the 4th International Renewable Energy Storage Conference IRES2009, Berlin (Germany)

Public DERlab workshop planned in the frame of the 4th International Renewable Energy Storage Conference IRES 2009. Main topics: Charge/ discharge regimes for grid operation, ancillary services, protection.

1st DERlab workshop: Grid-Interfaces of Storage Systems
11th June 2009, in conjunction with the CIRED conference, Prague (Czech Republic)

Grid-connected Storage Systems are one important element to massively integrate distributed renewable energy sources, which are typically intermittent, into the power system.
