Battery energy storage today
Trends, challenges & the role of contactors
As demand for renewable energy grows, so does the need for efficient and reliable energy storage. In this webinar, we’ll take a closer look at how battery energy storage systems (ESS) are evolving — through even higher energy density and more innovative distribution to the new demands these changes place on switching components.
Whether you’re designing, specifying, or working with ESS systems, this session will give you a practical update on where the technology is headed in 2025 and beyond, and how critical components like contactors are adapting to meet new performance and safety requirements.
