Hybrid Energy Storage

The Editors, coming from Academia, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (DE) and University of Perugia (IT) and Research Organizations, SINTEF (NO) and Austrian Institute of Technology (AT), are all active in the field of energy storage and conversion. They are members, with leading roles, of the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA) Joint Programme Energy Storage, establishing a long-term coordinating research effort in the field of energy storage at European level. Finally, the Editors are leading partners in the European Union-funded project Storage Research Infrastructure Eco-System (StoRIES, #101036910) dealing with hybrid energy storage as a way to advancing the EU’s goals of decarbonization and energy security,  leading the overall Coordination (KIT), the Education & Training programme, the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda identifying R&I priorities across EU and managing the Transnational Access provision to the research infrastructures integrated in the project.
