Technical Training - Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in Practice: Strategies to Enable Return on Investment

Wednesday, April 29, 2026

Time: 04:00 pm - 06:00 pm
Hall: Auditorium 2

This workshop presents the key applications and strategies for using Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) across different customer profiles and operating scenarios. A case study of a fictitious electric vehicle charging station is developed throughout the workshop, including analyses of several scenarios involving energy generation, storage, and use, in line with current regulatory conditions in the Brazilian electricity sector.
