i-STENTORE Kick-off: setting energy storage technologies on the spotlight!

A consortium composed of 27 partners from 10 different countries, have joined forces in a collaborative effort to lead the i-STENTORE project, aiming to examine innovative energy storage systems and their co-operation with the integrated assets, placing the reliability, the power quality, the cost-efficient operation and the maximization of the assets’ lifetime as end-goals. i-STENTORE will introduce an umbrella framework aiming to showcase stand-alone and hybrid storage solutions highlighting the multi-purpose use of storage, not only as an energy buffer, but also as an active grid component capable of providing services and contributing to grid resilience, stability and efficient operation.

The project's kick-off meeting, held on January 30th and 31st, 2023, at the premises of the hotel “Stratos Vassilikos” in Athens, Greece, set the stage for an exciting journey ahead.

During the kick-off meeting, the project partners gathered to lay the groundwork for the upcoming months. The meeting provided an invaluable opportunity for all partners to align their objectives, define project milestones, and allocate resources efficiently.

The i-STENTORE project is set to unveil fresh perspectives on energy storage technologies, by examining the applicability of versatile storage solutions in various applications covering the mobility, agricultural, industry, household, heating and other sectors, and in different timeframes, creating what-if scenarios for the selection of the optimal storage solutions to serve each individual application in the most effective way, promoting purpose-specific Hybrid Energy Storage Systems (HESS).

Stay tuned for more updates on the #i-STENTORE project as it continues to push the boundaries of innovation and shape a more sustainable future.
