Energy storage on the megawatt scale is a significant technical and economic challenge.  Power companies are working to develop market strategies to reliably deliver electricity and power when and where it’s needed and storage materials research efforts are growing fast.  This workshop will delve into the end-use applications and market drivers for large-scale storage, the R&D efforts that are pushing the boundaries, as well as highlighting some near-deployment technologies.
