ESA members are very active at international conferences covering a broad range of power engineering and delivery issues. Below is a selection of some of the papers and presentations.

July 2004

Comparison of Total Cost of Energy Storage Devices for Utility Applications
These charts compare the total owning cost of a range of application appropriate energy storage technologies, based upon information provided in the "EPRI-DOE Handbook of Energy Storage for T&D Applications," published in December 2003. The summary in PDF is produced by Ali Nourai, AEP.
