Vukani Communications is back again with the Annual Battery Technologies Conference for the 7th year around. The previous conference saw a great attendance from both national and international players within the Battery industry.
There is no doubt that electrical energy is the backbone of human civilization. The business sector and thus the economy fully depend on it. All power systems encompass generation, transmission and distribution on real-time since electricity is a real-time commodity. It cannot be packaged and transported unlike other commodities. It needs to be generated, transmitted and distributed keeping the balance of energy supply with energy demand and losses in real-time. Ever-dwindling mineral resources of coal, oil and gas have been forcing for the transition to adapt fully renewable energy generation and electric vehicles. Besides, it corroborates with the pressing need of minimising GHG emission, carbon footprint and global warming.
Global economy and supply chains need to be re-adapted with this transition. There are no excuses left to defer the much needed application of energy storage systems in all spheres of life. Transport sector remains one of the biggest consumers of battery energy storage systems and it will continue even after this transition. For global power systems, renewable energy system integration has been ever-increasing since the beginning of embedded generation. The aforementioned transition can never happen without the presence energy storage systems. In the energy sector, battery energy storage systems will play various key roles in multiple value streams.
