Storage, grids and mobility: automotive and energy networks as allies in decarbonization

Energy storage is now a strategic element to ensure stability and security of energy networks, especially in a context of increasing diffusion of renewable sources and extreme events such as the recent Spanish blackout. At the same time, batteries are the heart of electric mobility. Between these two worlds - networks and mobility - synergies are multiplying precisely in relation to storage: from intelligent charging management to the application of the vehicle-to-grid model to support the grid, from the reuse in "second life" of electric car batteries for stationary uses to the development of supply chains for the recovery of critical materials from the same end-of-life batteries. The conference, promoted by a joint project between Clust-ER Greentech and Mech and the Big Data and MUNER (Motor Valley University) Associations of Emilia-Romagna, aims to open a dialogue between the automotive industry and network operators to explore new possible industrial alliances in support of the energy transition.
