Battery energy storage systems (BESS) – planning, integration and economical operation

Online seminar
VA26-01280
Participation fee: €745

To registration
The seminar language is German. Large-scale battery storage systems play a central role in the energy transition and the expansion of renewable energies. The seminar provides practical knowledge on the planning, design and economical operation of stationary battery storage systems (BESS). It covers the most important technical components, system architectures, connection concepts, regulatory frameworks and applications ranging from frequency control and self-consumption optimisation to grid services. An additional focus is on co-location, i.e. the shared use of grid connection capacities and infrastructure by battery storage systems and generation facilities such as photovoltaic or wind farms. The aim of the online seminar is to provide participants with a sound understanding of the technical and economic success factors of modern large-scale storage projects.

On the topic:

With the increasing share of fluctuating generation from wind and solar energy, the demand for high-performance energy storage systems is growing.

Large-scale battery storage systems (BESS) are a key component for grid stability, flexibility and economic efficiency in modern energy systems.
In addition to technological developments – from lithium-ion to alternative cell technologies – economic and regulatory conditions are becoming increasingly important. Operators and planners face complex challenges in terms of dimensioning, safety, service life optimisation and economic efficiency assessment.

The seminar offers a compact overview of the current state of the art, new business models and best practices from the field. A complementary topic is the co-location of energy storage systems with generation plants, which opens up additional efficiency and revenue potential through shared grid connections and operating strategies.
