The ELSA team is holding its project midterm conference titled "The ELSA battery energy storage system - safe, scalable and green". The ELSA team invites all interested stakeholders to hear about the first results of the ELSA project and join in a visit to the ELSA prototype installed at the headquarters of Bouygues Energies & Services.

Unfortunately the pilot visit is fully booked.

"The ELSA battery energy storage system - safe, scalable and green": ELSA Midterm Conference

On behalf of the ELSA team, we would like to invite you to our ELSA project midterm conference titled "The ELSA battery storage system – safe, scalable and green”. The project ELSA brings distributed storage solutions to maturity. Its objective is to enable their integration into the energy system and their commercial use. ELSA addresses existing development needs by combining 2nd life batteries with an innovative local ICT-based Energy Management System in order to develop a low-cost, scalable and easy-to-deploy battery energy storage system.

In order to cover all relevant applications of distributed storage, the ELSA 2^nd life battery energy system will be installed at six pilot sites in five EU countries – from an office building to a university R&D center, from an industrial site to a local grid with solar energy generation. In the second week of August, the ELSA battery energy storage system was installed at the first of its six pilot sites - the Skills Academy for Sustainable Manufacturing and Innovation of the Gateshead College. At the site, an electrical storage unit based on three second life Nissan Leaf batteries with a total capacity of 48 kWh has been installed. Together with a newly deployed rooftop photovoltaic system of 30 kWp, the ELSA system is expected to provide services such as peak shaving, demand response and energy purchase time shifting. For that purpose, the deployed ELSA battery energy storage system will be connected to an energy management system supplied by the consortium partner UTRC, Limited.

The project midterm conference will be held on the 27th of October 2016 in Paris, France. At the conference, the ELSA consortium will present the status of the ELSA pilot installations as well as preliminary project results.

As a participant you will:

Hear about the first results of trialling our ELSA battery storage system at six pilot sites across Europe
Take part in the discussion on the technological, regulatory and market requirements for a successful marketing of small to medium-scale storage applications
Meet interesting partners from research and industry at our networking lunch
Join us - for a visit to the ELSA prototype - installed at the headquarters of the ELSA consortium partner Bouygues
Participation is free of charge
