Batteries as Big Power

With the global energy demand steadily increasing, battery storage has been falling in price while increasing in market value.The Midwest, California, and Hawaii are leading the way, battery storage is now being used on the electricity grid to firm up wind and solar power, replace natural gas peaking plants, and provide system stability. With rapid price decreases, batteries stand to be a large part of the electric grid of the future, but barriers to market, technology hurdles, and business risks -- all challenges that need to be solved. This talk will cover the current state of the market and the potential ways it can evolve in the future.
