As the electric grid transitions to accommodate more renewable energy, utilities and developers face increasing challenges: ensuring reliability, controlling costs, and managing increasingly complex energy flows. Energy storage, particularly battery energy storage systems (BESSs), has emerged as a critical tool, yet many professionals lack the applied knowledge to evaluate, deploy, and optimize these systems effectively.

On 15–16 October, Senior Managing Director Benjamin Chee, Consultant Jane Kim, Senior Analyst Steven Li, and Analyst Hannah Farrell will co-instruct the EUCI course “Energy Storage Use Cases.” This course will provide a comprehensive, real-world overview of energy storage technologies, use cases, and market dynamics. Through technical sessions, economic analysis, and policy insights, attendees will gain practical tools to assess and implement storage solutions that meet their operational, financial, and regulatory goals.

Participants will explore:

• The evolution and impact of energy storage systems on the modern grid;

• Leading BESS technologies, configurations, and their fit-for-purpose applications;

• Performance characteristics and front-of-the-meter economics;

• Global examples of lithium-ion battery deployment;

• Emerging policies, regulations, and financing challenges; and 

• Project siting, design strategies, and the full development lifecycle.
