Saft Energy Storage System: Which Application? Which Storage?

The renewable energy sector is undeniably booming. But how do you solve the intermittency of certain renewable energy sources? How do you deal with surplus energy?

In this presentation, Philippe Ulrich of Saft Battery Systems explains the concept of battery technologies and how such can benefit the energy sector.

Headquartered in France, Saft produces battery systems and solutions for a broad range of market sectors.

Battery Technologies and their Applications

More and more countries are embracing renewable energy. While there have been benefits and gains, there are still challenges that must be addressed. Excess energy harnessed from renewable sources like the wind and the sun, sometimes go to waste. Fortunately, energy storage systems like batteries offer a solution to this problem.

In this brownbag session organized by ADB’s Energy Sector Group, Saft Battery Systems France shared the use and benefits of battery technologies.

Smart Grid Applications

Smart grids are known to promote reliability and resilience of energy supply. These also offer solutions in controlling rising electricity costs. In this presentation, ADB’s Susumu Yoneoka shares cases from Japan, including his own experience in demand-side smart grid applications.

Microgrid: Enabling Resilient and Cost Effective Access to Power

Emerging trends and developments on microgrid applications took center stage in this ADB Energy Sector brownbag session. The knowledge sharing event featured Maxine Ghavi, Global Microgrid Program Director of ASEA Brown Boveri (ABB). Mr. Ghavi shared key technology developments and trends related to microgrid applications. He highlighted the benefits of using microgrid applications, and how these are changing the landscape of renewable energy systems.
