Battery Storage Applications in Power Systems Including Recent Updates on Technology and Market Use Cases
Project Engineers from Invenergy will join IEEE to discuss their experience developing, designing, and constructing battery energy storage systems (BESS). Reza Talieh and Jim Kennedy will share details on recent technology improvements, economics of BESS projects, different applications and use-cases, and how to safely operate BESS projects. Energy Storage moves fast and this presentation will especially focus on how the technology and markets have changed in just the past 3 years. Join us to learn more about what it is like using your engineering skills to build a BESS project!
