StoRIES @ Energy Conversion and Storage Days

The StoRIES project is holding three workshops as part of the “Energy Conversion and Storage Days”, a three-day event with a top-class programme organised by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Karlsruhe from 21 to 23 March 2023.

On 22 March 2023 two workshops – “Succeeding with Scale-up of Energy Materials” and “Energy System Benchmarking for Hybrid Storage: Performance Indicators and Application Areas“ – will take place in the afternoon. On 23 March 2023 the whole day is dedicated to the StoRIES – FLORES – EERA JP ES workshop on “Applications for Hybrid Energy Storage”.

Workshop “Succeeding with Scale-up of Energy Materials” 22 March 2023, 13:30 – 14:45.

The deployment of cost-competitive, highly efficient materials for renewable energy conversion and storage technologies faces enormous challenges. For large-scale commercialization of electrochemical energy devices, manufacturers need to develop low cost materials and fabrication approaches that preserve current levels of performance and stability. In this workshop, we focus on electrochemical materials fabrication processes for hydrogen technologies and electrochemical batteries. We discuss case studies of how integrating AI/ML models and FAIR data intelligence with cost modeling methodologies in the context of an innovation can greatly assist in optimizing efforts and investment on developing new electrochemical materials from design to integration and full scale-up.

Agenda:

• Energy Materials scale-up: connecting property space, application      space, and performance matrices
• Energy storage value analysis tool (SMART)
• Techno-economic cost assessment platform (TECAP): demonstration
• Data-driven approaches for property-performance predictions
• Accelerated materials design: self-driving labs
• De-centralized connected      cloud labs
• Virtual Materials      Intelligence platform (ViMi): demonstration
• Q/A

Workshop “Energy System Benchmarking for Hybrid Storage: Performance Indicators and Application Areas“ – 22 March 2023, 14:45 – 16:15.

The combination of electrical and thermal energy storage components to hybrid storage shows promise in several applications. Complex interactions between process and storage, however make it difficult to establish simple performance indicators for hybrid storage applications. Preliminary results from the StoRIES project on the development of reference cases and key performance indicators for application-oriented benchmarking of hybrid storage will be presented. The workshop invites for debate on how benchmark systems can will help to accelerate technology development and roadmapping.

StoRIES – FLORES – EERA JP ES Workshop on “Applications for Hybrid Energy Storage”

This workshop, organised by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), focuses on applications for hybrid energy storage systems in different sectors. The aim is to define current and future applications for hybrid energy storage and to provide input for the roadmap created within the StoRIES project, as well as to validate and align it with the energy storage community.

During the morning sessions, top-class speakers from the European Commission, industry, and research as well as a high-profile industry panel will share their views on current and future applications for hybrid energy storage systems. Two site visits of interesting hybrid storage applications (household storage/ virtual inertia on a larger scale) will give exclusive insights into future applications and prepare for the group work in the afternoon. After the group work on hybrid energy storage applications in different areas, beneficial applications will be identified and aligned with the already identified applications of the StoRIES roadmap hybrid energy storage. A get-together with snacks, music and networking opportunities will round off the workshop.
