The Future of Energy Storage: From Research to Real-World Impact
The energy transition is accelerating, but how do we ensure that energy storage keeps pace with the increasing penetration of renewables? In this keynote, Andrew Crossland will take us on a journey from academic research to real-world implementation—exploring how early studies on energy storage integration, including his own PhD work, laid the foundation for today’s booming market.
Andrew will share insights from his pioneering research, which predicted the impact of residential energy storage and highlighted the financial benefits of a smarter grid. He will discuss lessons learned from modeling 9,000 low-voltage power networks in the UK, the economic case for subsidized storage, and policy recommendations that have shaped national energy strategy.
