Sponsored by
S&C Electric Energy Storage Systems
With the growth of renewable energy generation and the imperative to reduce carbon emissions, the need for
large-scale energy storage has never been greater. But few companies offer much experience in designing and
deploying energy storage systems that can meet these objectives.
S&C Electric is a leader at integrating energy storage into the grid, drawing on real-world expertise to provide
solutions and advice from the earliest stages of project evaluation and design to system commissioning and life-
cycle maintenance.
S&C Electric energy storage systems use S&C’s field-proven power electronics technology to provide rapid
response to changing system conditions.

4. Developing the potential of
microgeneration and domestic energy
storage for the smart grid
HALF DAY POST-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP
8.30 – 12.30 I WEDNESDAY 19TH JUNE 2013
COPTHORNE TARA HOTEL I LONDON, UK
In association with:
Overview of workshop
Government is supporting the increased uptake of small
scale localised heat and power production, in the move
towards a ‘smarter grid’ and helping the UK to meet its
renewable and carbon targets. Domestic space heating is
also the single largest contributor to the UK’s carbon
emissions from heat. This workshop will examine the role
of microgeneration technologies and domestic energy
storage to meeting these targets, and what measures will
be required to fulfil their potential.
Why you should attend:
• Learn about microgeneration and domestic energy
storage technologies
• Discuss their contribution to the development of smart
grids
• Understand barriers to their deployment
• Develop ideas on consumer engagement / behavioural
change
• Discuss role of commercial incentives
Programme:
8.30 Registration and Coffee
9:10 Session 1 – Smart grids from demonstration to
commercialisation
• Potential of microgeneration technologies
• Domestic energy storage
• Case for a strong political narrative

behavioural change
• Commercial incentives for demand side
response, load shifting and storage required
• Monetising national and local network benefits
of smart building opportunities
• Regulatory barriers and next steps
