Context & Stakes
The accelerated decarbonization of the economy involves massive electrification through renewable energies, but their intermittence raises complex adjustment issues between energy production and demand in the short, medium, and long term.
See Target Applications
The implementation of services bringing flexibility to energy systems is therefore a major and urgent issue, especially through the deployment of conversion and stationary storage assets that can be mobilized in the short term and also in the medium to long term. The need is to capture and then valorize renewable or weakly controllable electricity in a delayed manner, in order to stabilize grids, avoid congestion, and episodes of curtailment.
At the same time, it is important that these developments integrate sustainability requirements, even as past technological innovations have led to an increasing consumption of materials and especially critical metals in a context of gradual depletion. Efforts in eco-design and maximum resource recycling appear therefore essential to support the energy transition
