EERA Workshop on Hybrid Energy and Energy Storage Systems
22 March 2017, San Sebastian (ES)
The EERA workshop on Hybrid Energy and Energy Storage Systems took place in San Sebastian on March 22, 2017. The aim of the workshop was to learn about and discuss research questions for the use of different storage technologies in combination, how they can fit together, and how can they be integrated in the grid and their use and need of smart grids to enhance performance. Moreover, the goal was to make information on existing hybrid systems available and point out research needs for hybrid energy and energy storage systems and their integration in a smart grid. A report sumarizing the outcome of the workshop is under preparation.
The workshop gathered 34 participants (research and industry) from 10 different countries. A following workshop on this topic is foreseen in Autumn 2017. Further details on date and venue will be announced soon.

EASE-EERA Energy Storage Technology Development Roadmap
15 March 2017, Brussels (BE)
After the public consultation of the updated EASE-EERA Energy Storage Technology Development Roadmap a stakeholder workshop will take place in Brussels on the 15th of March. We are pleased to have received 30 responses to the public consultation, containing valuable inputs from a wide range of stakeholders.
The document containing the public consultation inputs is now available here.
The comments received during the consultation have been compiled into one document to keep them anonymous. The comments received on Chapter 7 – Market Design and Policy Recommendations – are not included in this roadmap draft. Rather, they will be discussed during the consultation workshop.
The draft agenda for the consultation workshop on 15.03.2017 is also available here.
Each session of the workshop will focus on one chapter or subchapter of the roadmap. The presenters will provide a high-level summary of the chapter and of the comments received during the consultation.
Stakeholders will have the opportunity to discuss any significant changes proposed during the consultation and to provide additional feedback. The workshop will end with a brainstorming on how to implement the roadmap recommendations.
After the workshop, EASE and the EERA will deliberate and agree on the final version of the roadmap, taking into account the feedback collected during the consultation and workshop.

Past Events 2016
1st EERA Conference
24-25 November 2016, Birmingham (UK)
For the first time since its establishment, EERA is organising a purely scientific conference. This conference is the occasion for energy researchers active in EERA, that represent more than 175 research organisations active in all fields of research on low-carbon energy, to meet and discover about each others’ challenges. The goal is to provide the opportunity for cross-fertilisation and identification of topics of common interest. The event will also involve industrial stakeholders and policy makers in order to strengthen their collaboration with the research world.
The conference will blend invited speakers, selected oral and poster contributions and panel debates to facilitate discussions and improve communication between stakeholders and researchers.

EERA JP ES – Battery Expert Workshop
19 October 2016, Brussels (BE)
The EERA workshop on opportunities and challenges of batteries for energy storage in the EU took place in Brussels on October 19, 2016. The main objective of the workshop was to stimulate an in-depth discussion on status and challenges of batteries for energy storage in relation to research, industrial, socio-economic and consumer aspects and to policy initiatives at European level, particularly (but not limited to) the Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan). The workshop gathered 27 participants from research, industry, consumer associations and the European Commission, with representatives of four Directorate Generals. It was led and facilitated by the EERA Joint Programme (JP) on Energy Storage. The JP AMPEA, JP Smart Grids, JP Economic, Environmental and Social Impacts (E3S) and JP Fuel Cells & Hydrogen also contributed to the presentations and the discussion.
