Introduction to Energy Storage Systems Course in Istanbul

Understanding Energy Storage Technologies for Reliable, Efficient, and Sustainable Power Systems

Energy storage is becoming an increasingly important component of modern power systems, supporting renewable energy integration, grid flexibility, energy management, and system resilience. Selecting an appropriate storage solution requires an understanding of technology characteristics, operating requirements, performance limitations, safety considerations, and economic viability.

The Introduction to Energy Storage Systems course provides participants with a practical foundation in battery and non-battery energy storage technologies. The programme examines Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), lithium-ion, lead-acid and flow batteries, pumped hydro, compressed air, flywheels, thermal storage, and other emerging solutions. Participants also explore key performance metrics, storage applications, system sizing, technical design considerations, and economic evaluation.

Through comparative exercises and practical power-system scenarios, participants learn how to assess storage technologies against specific applications, understand basic sizing requirements, evaluate cost and value considerations, and recognise important safety, environmental, and regulatory factors. The programme concludes by examining emerging technologies and the growing role of digital solutions in energy storage operation and integration.
