International speakers announced for energy storage conference

The 2016 Australian Energy Storage Conference and Exhibition, taking place in Sydney on 1–2 June, will offer two days of innovative and intelligent energy solutions for the changing energy storage landscape, including an impressive line-up of around 40 international and local speakers.

The first international speakers to be announced include John Jung, president and CEO of energy management company Greensmith, who will present on ‘Grid-Scale Energy Storage & Grid 2.0’, and Catherine Von Burg, president and CEO of SimpliPhi Power, a global distributor of clean energy storage and management systems. She will present on ‘Micro Grid Deployment — Maui Brewing Company: Safety, Accessibility & Power Security in the Age of Climate Change, Cyber Attack & Political Uncertainty’.

During his presentation, Jung will discuss a Greensmith case study of a 1 MW, behind-the-meter, solar-integrated storage system on the island of Puerto Rico. Von Burg will look at a SimpliPhi Power Maui Brewing company microgrid installation and how the microgrid concept is able to address the integration of geographically dispersed energy resources, for both the local community and/or the utility.

With the theme of ‘Thinking Smart about Energy Storage’, the event’s multistream conference will offer other case studies of innovative energy storage solutions on buildings, in homes and in communities, as well as large energy storage sites to manage demand at the fringe of the grid.

A full day will be dedicated to utility-level solutions, both local and international, showcasing the move to Grid 2.0 and beyond, while day two will lead with a session on how intelligent energy storage systems define the future.

A key session will also be held on transforming the business models of the major energy companies to take advantage of storage technology.
