Storage Research Infrastructure Eco-System

Project description

European ecosystem to advance innovation in energy storage devices

New energy storage technologies are fundamental for more balanced and flexible grids, for back-up to intermittent renewable energy and helping to tackle seasonal energy storage challenges. The EU-funded StoRIES project will promote a European ecosystem of industry and research organisations to develop innovative concepts and competitive and less costly energy storage technologies. The consortium consists of members of the European Energy Research Alliance and the European Association for Storage of Energy (32 beneficiaries from 17 countries). By providing access to first-rate research infrastructures and services, the project will speed up the advancement of knowledge and technology in the field of energy storage. One of its technological goals is to optimise hybrid energy systems.

Objective

According to the European Green Deal goals, new energy storage technologies will supply more flexibility and balance in the grid, providing a back-up to intermittent renewable energy and contribute to seasonal energy storage challenges. Above all, the main challenge for energy storage development is economic. In order to achieve more performing, competitive and cost effective energy storage devices, the project fosters a European ecosystem of industry and research organisations on energy storage technologies aimed at developing novel concepts and technologies. StoRIES brings together a consortium of 32 beneficiaries from 17 countries: ESFRI facilities, technology institutes, universities and industrial partners to jointly improve the economic performance of storage technologies. Members of the European Energy Research Alliance and from the industry lead European Association for Storage of Energy are establishing the core of this world-class European ecosystem. The main objectives of StoRIES are linked to the energy storage development by providing access to world-class research infrastructures and services, with a focus on improving materials for devices and optimizing hybrid energy systems with a view to make energy technologies more competitive and reducing costs. In addition, StoRIES focuses on the analysis of socio-technical and environmental aspects of new developments and systems and provides training and education on these issues. By promoting complementary expertise, interdisciplinary cooperation and a broader exchange of knowledge and technologies throughout the academic world and with industry, StoRIES will significantly improve the technological basis for energy storage applications. Furthermore, StoRIES will establish an ecosystem with international peer partners from Research and Industry to foster open science and promote new energy technology standards.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.
This project's classification has been validated by the project's team.
