The role of batteries in energy storage systems
Patrick Clerens, Secretary General, European Association for the Storage of Energy, Belgium

Batteries play a critical role in modern energy storage systems (ESS), facilitating the integration of renewable sources, such as wind and solar, mitigating grid instability, and providing backup power during peak demand periods. As a result,they can significantly contribute to the EU’s clean energy transition and the achievement of its climate and energy targets.
