PRELIMINARY PROGRAMME

This year, we return to Vienna since our first edition in 2010, and we will be hosted by Cellcube. Christoph Stelzer, their COO will welcome us and introduce Cellcube’s flow battery strategy. We are very pleased to announce that Commissioner David Hochshild, Chair of the California Energy Commission, has accepted our invitation to address the IFBF this year. He will be explaining the background to California’s Long Duration Energy Storage initiative and the need to have diversity in energy storage systems, with 6 different non-lithium long duration technologies under development and demonstration. Under the CEC’s guidance, California has one of the boldest programmes in the world for supporting new energy technologies. 
We also have a keynote address from Viktor Horváth, Deputy State Secretary for the Energy Transition of Hungary, on the topic of diverse energy storage technologies for the energy transition. Users and operators of storage including VerbundEnergie BurgenlandEDF and EDP Renewables will talk on the role of flow batteries and energy storage in their operations, and we will also hear from Rongke Power on the challenges and operational performance of their multi 100 MWh flow batteries in China. Going back to Europe, Flexbase, will expand on their plans for a 100 MW plus flow battery in Switzerland. But energy storage is also diverse and can be distributed, so we will also include smaller scale installations, and a range of technology types. With our eyes on the skies, we will close with a report on flow batteries in space by Fraunhofer UMSICHT, and the news of a programme funded by the German Space Agency.
Don’t miss out – see our preliminary programme and book now!

Don’t just take our word for it

One session, on operational projects and the latest research, stood out. Five of the six presenters were women and several of them PhD students, which tells a possible story of openness and academic interest in an industry with a future.

Thank you for putting on such a great conference. For a week, it truly becomes the global center of our corner of the energy storage market. I met with people that would have taken me months if I were to travel around.

Larry Zulch, CEO Invinity Energy Systems, IFBF 2023

IFBF events are a unique opportunity to interact with EVERYONE involved in flow batteries: users, manufacturers, suppliers of materials, and the research community are all there. If you are interested in flow batteries, an IFBF event is like attending 5 other conferences at once.

Bret Adams, Kainos Consulting, IFBF 2022

First time attendee. Really enjoyed the community. Good mixture of science, companies, suppliers etc. for a broad band of topics. Looking forward to next year.”
