Model S on show at Australian Energy Storage Conference and Exhibition

With two weeks until the Australian Energy Storage Conference and Exhibition - to be held from 3-4 June at Australian Technology Park, Sydney - Tesla Motors has announced that it will be showcasing its Model S electric vehicle at the event.

The Model S is claimed to be the world’s first premium sedan built from the ground up as an electric vehicle. With a rigid body structure, nearly 50/50 weight distribution and a low centre of gravity, the car offers good responsiveness, agility and ride quality. It is said to be the world’s fastest four-door vehicle ever built and will be on display at the exhibition on stand 405.

Tesla is just one of over 33 exhibitors who will be showcasing the latest technology on their stands and through on-the-floor workshops. At a workshop hosted by GNB Industrial Power, Subash Bhattacharya will be discussing trends in containerised storage for grid level load balancing and the maturity of lead-acid batteries to meet such large-scale requirements. He will also talk about some successful case studies, with emphasis on ROI, as well as the future in terms of storage technology for grid applications.

Meanwhile, as part of the industry conference, research associate Hugh Bromley from Bloomberg New Energy Finance will be exploring the most recent data, analysis and projections of energy storage. He will cover:

• Australian/global energy storage deployment forecast by application;
• Australian end-user energy storage deployment forecast (key market);
• Australian residential and commercial PV deployment forecast (key driver of end-user energy storage);
• Australian large-scale renewable energy deployment forecast (key driver of utility energy storage);
• Lithium-ion battery experience curve.

The Australian Energy Storage Conference and Exhibition gives attendees the opportunity to connect with others in an engaging and informative manner. For more information or to register, visit www.australianenergystorage.com.au.
