Energy storage India Conference & Expo – 2014 (http://esiexpo.in)
We witnessed a stronger participation of various industry stake holders, right from the policy makers to the end users at the recently concluded 2nd international conference & expo, Energy Storage India 2014, at New Delhi. The key industry participants appreciated the effort of MNRE and other policy makers to introduce energy storage at a large scale in India. The event was attended by over 500 delegates and 64 speakers covering 15 countries and we are excited about the positive feedback and the quality of the dialogue that has been initiated at this event.
The 3 day event kicked off with 3 workshops (Energy Storage 101, Power Quality, Micro-grids workshops) providing delegates with an excellent overview of various energy storage technologies, with parallel session on IRENA International Energy Storage Policy and Regulators workshop. The technologies covered in the workshop and conference spanned complete range including electrochemical batteries such as Advanced Lead Acid, Li-Ion, Flow batteries, Ultra Capacitors, Sodium Nickel Chloride, Sodium Sulphur, as well as other forms of energy storage technologies including pumped hydro, compressed air energy storage and thermal storage.
The conference covered the complete range of opportunities for advanced storage technologies in India including renewable integration, rural electrification, microgrids, smart cities, utility and industrial applications as well as electric transportation. Special sessions on 'Make in India' and 'International Prospective on Energy Storage' created larger interest among all delegates in the conference.
