Electricity Storage Association 2008 Meeting
May 20-22, 2008

Anaheim, Southern California
Hosted by Southern California Edison (SCE)

The ESA annual meeting is the premier event in the Energy Storage Calendar at a very exciting time, where there is an unprecedented level of interest in Energy Storage to facilitate Clean Tech and bulk energy management, as well as more traditional power quality and control applications. In this environment, the ESA meeting affords the opportunity to rapidly understand the current state-of-the-art in advanced storage solutions, economic models and evaluations, recent field installations, and case studies.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to tour SCE’s world-renowned
Electric Vehicle Technical Center in Pomona. The facility was established in 1993 to test and evaluate electro-drive systems, battery types and charging infrastructure. By mid-2006, SCE’s fleet had logged more than 12 million miles, reducing air pollutant and tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions by thousands of tons. Recent activities include testing the first OEM plug-in hybrid (the Mercedes Sprinter Van), as well as the addition of a Fuel Cell Testing Facility.
