Seattle City Light's resource for As utilities like Seattle City Light look toward years of projected load growth and more renewable resources enter the grid, the use of batteries will be an important factor to help control costs, increase reliability, and improve service.
This webinar will feature two companies working on iron battery technologies, Form Energy & ESS. Each will discuss their use cases and where and how they can most advantageously be applied.
WHAT WILL BE LEARNED
Form will present their technology and:
- Demonstrate the value of multi-day storage in various markets across the United States to cost-effectively meet reliability and decarbonization targets
- Examine specific use cases for multi-day storage
- Evaluate the operational and value of multi-day storage across a variety of weather conditions, and its contributions toward grid reliability and resiliency
ESS will present their technology and:
- ESS as a flexible resource
- Customer use cases
- Safety aspects of the iron flow battery
- Green tech workforce opportunities in local communities
