Sprenkle and Wang are also invited speakers at the meeting. Keynote speakers will include Jud Virden, PNNL’s Associate Laboratory Director for Energy and Environment.

The ICESI is a new international professional organization that focuses on science and technology challenges for grid-scale energy and renewable energy integration. The organization provides a forum for the research community and industry to address long-term challenges for developing and deploying scalable energy storage technologies for electric grid and emerging market applications. ICESI also serves as the authority and advocator for supporting energy storage research.
