The ees Europe international exhibition for batteries, energy storage systems and innovative production is dedicating a comprehensive accompanying program to these topics from June 10–12.
A special exhibit on innovative mobility, for example, is presenting new vehicle concepts and charging technologies to show just how well e-mobility and renewable energy complement each other. Furthermore, experts at the ees Forum and the ees Europe Conference are informing visitors about current market developments and the latest energy storage technologies.
Battery and energy storage technology is the key to boosting exploitation of renewable energy, while the growing e-mobility sector is a promising market of the future for the supply industry.
Market for lithium-ion cells will continue to grow
This has also been picked up on by the German government, which intends to turn Germany into the leading e-mobility market and supplier. According to a recent study conducted by the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Wuerttemberg (ZSW), which is based in Stuttgart, Germany, if the momentum of recent years is sustained, the number of electric cars on the road worldwide will exceed one million in just a few months. This means that the market for lithium-ion cells will continue to grow and reach a value of around 15 billion euros by 2020. Future generations of cells therefore represent an encouraging area of development.
However, for the e-mobility market to succeed as expected, a widespread, intelligent charging infrastructure that is integrated into the grid is required. Governments and industrial companies must assume responsibility for driving forward this necessary expansion. The ees Europe exhibition offers a comprehensive accompanying program that includes the ees Forum, the special exhibit on innovative mobility, the ees Europe Conference and the ees AWARD.
This line-up sheds light on innovations and industry challenges, while providing room for discussion. With around 250 exhibitors, last year’s ees Europe, which was organized in conjunction with Intersolar Europe, was a great success. Of Intersolar’s 42,380 visitors, over 26,000 attended ees Europe and received information about pioneering energy storage products, solutions and services. This year, the exhibition space has increased fivefold in comparison to 2014, and more than 300 exhibitors are due to showcase their products and innovations.
The ees Forum – first-hand knowledge on energy storage technologies
At the ees Forum in hall B1, presentations and panel discussions are set to fuel discussions among experts. The topics range from technology and innovations to domestic and commercial storage solutions, the combination of decentralized storage units into swarms and the use of large-scale storage systems in the energy supply.
ees AWARD will be awarded on June 10th
The forum also focuses on the topics of e-mobility and renewable energy as well as safety and security when installing battery storage systems. A particular highlight of the ees Forum is the presentation of the ees AWARD finalists, which takes place on Wednesday, June 10 from 1:00pm–4:00pm. This is followed by the award ceremony at the Innovation Exchange (hall B3, booth B3.450) at 4:30pm. This prize is handed out in honor of innovations in energy storage technology.
The forum is sponsored by Sonnenbatterie GmbH, Nidec ASI S.p.A. and Ingeteam Power Technology, S.A. Its partners are the German Association of Energy Market Innovators (bne), the German Association for e-Mobility (BEM), the Association of European Automotive and Industrial Battery Manufacturers (EUROBAT), the International Battery and Energy Storage Alliance (IBESA) and the German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association (ZVEI).
The Innovative Mobility special exhibit – the charging technologies of tomorrow
E-mobility and renewable energy complement each other. The Innovative Mobility special exhibit highlights the potential of this synergy in hall B1, booth B1.470, where attendees present novel vehicle designs and charging technologies.
For example, Tesla is presenting its electric vehicle Model S, which has a range of more than 500 kilometers, while ClickCon and Bluetop are showcasing various solar carport solutions for parking lots. Mitsubishi Motors, meanwhile, is focusing its attention on bidirectional charging, using its Electric Vehicle and Plug-in Hybrid Outlander models to demonstrate how the electricity used to drive the vehicle can be fed back into the home if required. Nissan Center Europe GmbH, GreenPack GmbH, and the Reiner Lemoine Institute are also represented at the special exhibit.
Energy storage industry engages in stimulating discussions at the ees Europe Conference
The ees Europe Conference is this year being introduced for the first time to provide a platform for experts from industry, research and associations to discuss market developments and technological trends, as well as the economic and political conditions governing the energy storage industry. From June 9–10, 2015, eight sessions focus on the entire value-added chain of energy storage technology, ranging from renewable energy storage solutions through energy management sys-tems and mobility solutions to uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). The cross-industry discussions at the conference consolidate the topics covered at the ees Europe and Intersolar Europe exhibitions.
ees Europe 2015 takes place alongside Intersolar Europe at Messe Munich from June 10–12.
