SUMMARY:Grid Energy Storage: Beyond Batteries
DESCRIPTION:[wbcr_php_snippet id=”286″]\n[wbcr_php_snippet id=”1480″]\n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Innovators with breakthrough technology finally meet the scale and efficiency requirements of grid level energy storage. For the first time last year\, investment in renewable energy infrastructure was higher than in fossil fuel infrastructure. With grid-scale energy storage\, intermittent sources of renewable energy\, such as wind and solar\, become viable for the grid. VLAB will examine the technology and economics to make this transformation possible. \nThe global market for energy storage services could be worth as much as $31.5 billion in 2017\, according to Lux Research. Additionally\, Pike Research forecasts that $122 billion will be invested in energy storage projects between 2011 and 2021. \nToday\, 99% of the global energy storage is pumped hydro\, which is geographically constrained. Now entrepreneurs free us from this constraint with fundamentally new technology challenging conventional expectations of capacity\, efficiency and product life. \n\nWhere are the best business opportunities for these start-ups — at green energy farms? on the grid? or at the consumer’s home or business?\nWhat are key metrics to make this economically viable\, without subsidies? Efficiency\, life-time costs\, Capex?\nWill advances in traditional pumped hydro and compressed air prevail over battery/chemical technologies?\nWhich countries are leading in Energy Storage on/off the grid?\nWhen will these new technologies become profitable?\nHow and when will US utility companies get on-board?\n\nJoin us to learn more. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Moderator\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Eric Wesoff\, Editor-in-Chief\, Greentech Media \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Panelists\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Professor Jay Whitacre\, Founder and Chief Technology Officer\, Aquion Energy \nDr. Steve Crane\, Co-Founder and CEO\, LightSail Energy \nHaresh Kamath\, Strategic Program Manager\, Energy Storage at EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) \nAbe Yokell\, Partner\, Rockport Capital\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SPECIAL EVENT SPONSOR:  Morgan Stanley \nMorgan Stanley is a global financial services company that\, through its subsidiaries and affiliates\, provides its products and services to a range of clients and customers\, including corporations\, governments\, financial institutions and individuals.
