Keynote Description
Long duration energy storage technologies can provide distinctive advantages vs other shorter-duration energy storage solutions and so unlock further exploitation of renewable energy into the electrical grids.
To meet the decarbonization targets, the world’s electricity grids will need to deploy massive investments of energy storage technologies by 2030. In this scenario, Ansaldo Green Tech (a company controlled by Ansaldo Energia) has recently taken steps to develop solutions for grid scale long duration applications.
Characteristics of the innovative technologies at the core of each storage solution, technology readiness and industrial setup implications are discussed, in the frame of implementation of first commercial projects from today to 2025.
