Following the success of the IREDonline Conference in 2025, the upcoming conference, currently titled Batteries in Power Systems, will focus on the evolving role of battery energy storage systems across all scales—from utility-scale installations to distributed resources such as commercial and residential systems and electric-vehicle-to-grid (V2G) applications. As battery deployment accelerates, optimizing their integration into power systems is becoming increasingly important to support reliability, flexibility, and decarbonization.

The event will explore how battery storage can deliver system-wide value, including its role in grid stability, congestion management, and flexibility services. Key topics will include coordination and control of distributed battery fleets, the interaction between battery deployment and grid reinforcement needs, and the regulatory and market frameworks required to enable value stacking and efficient use of battery capabilities.
By bringing together researchers, system operators, industry leaders, regulators, and policymakers, the conference will provide a platform for knowledge exchange and cross-sector dialogue on best practices for integrating battery storage into modern power systems.
