Seminar: Business Models and Regulation for Storage, organized by Vlerick
STORY-Seminar held in Brussels on November 30th 2018

The H2020 STORY project demonstrates how energy storage can be used and integrated into current power systems. In a framework where different actors can use storage assets it is essential to identify the business models and regulation that make storage sustainable. How can users at a residential, industrial and network level make use of storage? What are the different use cases and how can these services be remunerated? What are the necessary interactions with market participants or suppliers? How does the regulatory framework shape these interactions?
The aim of the seminar was to provide a platform for researchers and industry players working on business models and regulation for storage to meet and discuss the state of the art in the integration of storage technologies.
