Published by EUROSOLAR and the World Council for Renewable Energy (WCRE), February 2008, CD-ROM with the conference proceedings of the Second International Renewable Energy Storage Conference (IRES II), Bonn/Germany, 2007.

In about 40 presentations, IRES II embraced the current status of energy storage technologies, as well as other new research and industry approaches to electricity and heat storage, alongside such integrated solutions eliminating or minimizing the need for additional storage.

I would like to order the CD-Rom of the Second International Renewable Energy Storage Conference (IRES II)
