Did you know that many women are working in Thermal Energy Storage (TES)? Now you have an opportunity to learn about the work of five international specialists in TES sector.

Women+ in Concentrated Solar, in partnership with ATA Insights, organized their first webinar on May 25^th,  2023, on the topic of thermal energy storage technologies. In this webinar, five members of W+CS explained the current market situation and new R&D technologies in their countries: Spain, China and Morocco. A big thanks to our five amazing speakers who taught us a lot about innovative solutions in the thermal energy storage sector!

• Esther Rojas: Senior Researcher from Plataforma Solar de Almería (PSA) in CIEMAT, Spain
• Mª Del Rocío Bayon: Researcher and Coordinator of the Thermal Storage Unit from Plataforma Solar de Almería (PSA) in CIEMAT, Spain
• Teresa Gong: Deputy Director of Global Business Development of Cosin Solar, China
• Yan Wang: Associate Professor at the Institute of Electrical Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences
• Khadija Elalami: Postdoctoral fellow at Green Energy Park, Morocco
• Cristina Galán: Content & Event Manager at ATA Insights [Moderator]

We want to thank ATA Insights for their amazing work, and everyone who attended: more than 90 people joined the webinar! It was a real success to bring so many people together, interested in thermal storage, and give visibility to women speakers in the field.

If you couldn’t attend our webinar, you can watch the replay on YouTube.

Women+ in Concentrated Solar will be at the Women Energize Women conference in Munich on 15 June 2023!

Gender equality in the energy sector is imperative to implement the whole potential of renewable energy and to foster a just energy transition, in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals.

The Women Energize Women conference invites participants from across the globe to experience discussion rounds, workshops and other innovative formats on energy and gender topics with exclusively female speakers. The conference allows for women* and allies of a social just energy transition to connect with each other, gain more visibility on international fora and shape the discussion on the energy transition themselves.

Women+ in Concentrated Solar, with the valuable support and organization by ATA Insights, is happy to announce their first webinar on “How thermal energy storage makes variable renewables dispatchable”, which will be held online on May 25, 2023 @ 1 pm CEST.

Energy storage is the key to secure resilience, reliability and dispatchability in the grid even when the energy mix is based on variable renewables. However, while there is a lot of awareness about batteries, thermal storage is still a largely unknown treasure to be distpachable – coming at third or less of the cost.  In this webinar 5 thermal energy storage talk about the experience with thermal storage in Spain, China and Morocco and the new R&D technology that will revolutionize storing energy with longer durations, better round trip efficiencies and more competitive costs.  

Join this webinar and…

• Hear about state-of-the-art of thermal energy storage developments in China, Spain and Morocco and understand the impact it has in renewable energy industry growth
• Analyze the main promising innovation efforts under development worldwide and when they will be deployed in commercial projects
• Study thermal storage technology close up to understand how large commercial capacity systems figures
