Tecloman solutions are being implemented in increasingly diverse scenarios, helping businesses to optimize energy use, enhance resilience, and contribute to a broader sustainability goal from peak shaving and load shifting to backup power and renewable integration. The examples shared in today's webinar will reflect how energy storage is becoming a central element in modern energy strategies. We are pleased to introduce the Tecloman BESS knowledge platform part of the newly founded Tech Noman Academy. This structured learning initiative has been developed to support professionals at different stages of their journey in the energy storage sector. With a three-tiered approach, it offers a clear path for gaining knowledge, building competence, and advancing expertise in this fast growing field. Our webinar session today will be structured into three parts. First, Thomas Sascha Mysik will deliver a detailed presentation on Tecloman commercial and industrial energy storage systems. This segment will include a closer look at the technologies involved practical implementation examples and the outcomes they deliver in terms of return on investment. Within the second presentation we have today, we will be welcoming Mohsen Tabrizi who will share his perspective as a course instructor. He will present the structure of the Tecloman BESS knowledge platform and speak to the importance of accessible structured education in the energy storage space, as well as Tecloman's ongoing commitment to knowledge sharing and professional development. Within the final segment of today's webinar, I myself will offer a brief impulse presentation covering the current market landscape, emerging trends and outlook for energy storage within the broader energy transition. This overview is intended to provide some context around the developments shaping the demand and opportunities for BESS to today and in the near future. We do encourage you to stay with us throughout this one hour webinar, now webinar, and also please ask your questions in the chat. We will collect all of these and ask the speakers or, uh, point out the questions to the speakers at the end, um, of the session. So in my name, thank you very much for joining us, uh, today once again. And now it is my, um, sincere pleasure after the introduction to hand over to Thomas Sascha Mysik, who will now deliver for you the keynote presentation on the latest advancements of Tecloman. Thank you very much and enjoy today's webinar. Thanks you very much for this introduction. Um, my name is Thomas Sasha Musik. I'm, uh, the sales director of Europe from Tecloman, and also director of strategic Business Development for Tecloman. And I will, um, present you the most important opportunities of applications, uh, for the best situation, um, constantly here in Europe. I will start with an overview about, um, what we are talking. So I think in the last years, um, the energy storage market was not so attractive because of missing real economically prices and also, um, in the, in the reason that, um, the installing of PV panels of renewable energy was, um, increasing tremendously the last years and, um, depends on the weak infrastructure on European grids and depends, although on the necessary to install more renewable energy. So it's not possible to install this without energy storage system. And then you can see on the left side here what is expected until 2000, uh, 2030. So the expected volume of integration of best systems should be 150 gigawatt hours. So this is tremendous, a tremendous increase in capacity if you see as we are here, 2025, around 25 gigawatt. So we have to increase it so much that it's, um, a huge opportunity and all of the PV installation will go tremendously in the region of 100 terawatt in the next, um, uh, period until 2 20 60. So this is a necessary information you have to know and all because of the PV panel's lifetime around 30 or 40 years. And, um, because of the, the sunshine, the production of one kilowatt hour, which PV in Germany is around 1.4 to 1.80 cents, depends on the lifetime of the, of the panels and together with storage systems. So it's another opportunity, um, to produce a kilowatt hour price around, uh, four to six euro cents. And this is real existing here in Germany. So this is an option for all these medium sized companies to, in, to invest in, uh, in PV to invest in renewables together with storage system, because sometimes they need more than eight hours, um, uh, uh, energy on the day. They need 24 hours, seven days, so that it's a necessary for storage system. As you can see here. Only briefly, this is an annual battery storage segmentation. Uh, and this is, um, um, this is, um, a differentiation between, uh, 2024 and 2028. And you can see here that in 2024, the most of the installed energy storage system was not only for utility scale, it was also the very, very big advantage here in residential systems. And CNI part, commercial industrial part was a little bit low. If you can see here, the differentiation to 20 80, 20 28 that you can see the residential market is going down, it's going back because they will install, um, um, power systems on communities. So they will buffer storage systems installing communities. I will, I will explain with this later on though, the frown of institute is saying that the part of residential systems will be go down under 2028 up to 17%, and that the bigger, the bigger opportunity here is utility scale. And these are 36 kilowatt hours, uh, because of the grid capacity fluctuation, uh, because of our weak grid situation that we are. So this is, uh, all the, um, um, information for the marketing because everybody's looking, um, to make small companies or bigger companies, industrial companies independent from greed power, but then everybody's looking about the LCOE costs, the levelized cost of electricity, what is the lowest cost of electricity, what they should invest and what they should install. And you can see here, although if you compare what kind of, um, renewable energy we have and what kind of the other, um, uh, classical energy we have, you can see at the cost per kilowatt hour. And the lowest cost per kilowatt hour is of course wind and pv. And, uh, for the example, if you can see here, the information about PV utility scale and batteries and also wind and batteries have the lowest, um, levelized cost of electricity. So this is a part that everybody should, should focus on it. And we are talking over about, um, the, our car charging opportunities. Everybody would like to, to drive with electric vehicles. So then it's also unnecessary that you're coming back to agriculture PV installation. And you can see here the differentiation, uh, for installing agriculture PV on one hectare land. And if you compare it with a classical biofuels that you have to put on the landscape for one hectare, you can drive with a car with biofuels, 118,000 kilometer with biofuels coming from one hectare land with the same hectare land. If you're using agricultural pv, the car can drive 2.7 million kilometers. So it's, um, it's a huge differentiation and it's a bad opportunity for investing in, uh, pv, although for producing power for electro mobility. And, uh, of course everybody's expecting because of our weak grid situation that, um, mainly we could bring in the European grid again, um, the nuclear power. And I will also show you one slide for the differentiation and comparison. Nuclear power versus solar power, the latest state of the art, um, a nuclear power plant in, in France was installed last year with 13,000 gigawatt hours. The original cost was, uh, 6 billion euro. The real costs after installation was 20 billion. And, uh, the maintenance cost for 20 years is 7% for the nuclear power plant. So overall costs for this 13,000 gigawatt, our nuclear plant is 48 billion, um, euro if you use this amount of 48 billion euro. And you will invest in, um, in, um, in the PV panel, uh, installation in south of, uh, Europe or in north of Africa. So we can 160,000 gigawatt hours against 13,000 gigawatt hours. And this makes sure that on the end, with the same investment over 20 years, you can provide energy to 40 million households, not only to 3.7 million households. So this is 11 times higher output of energy if you compare it to nuclear power. And why I'm showing this to you because the pan-European g grided was, um, was, um, uh, established some years ago. And, um, so there was an issue that the pan-European g grid was sinking 2022, that they will put nuclear power into the grid because to make this grid more stable and because of CO2 reduction, it's a better opportunity. But at the moment, the nuclear power costs of a kilowatt hour is 11.9 euro cents because of this. And this is too expensive. So the pan-European grid is disconnecting nuclear power again from the opine grid and would like to only work with renewable energy, but it's a necessary that in this case, that energy storage system has to be installed. This is a, a very, very important information. Yeah, a little bit. What is teman? Teman is a turnkey solution provider and, uh, delivering energy storage system for commercial and industrial solutions. And, uh, so we have a own, um, uh, own big, big manufacturing area, uh, with, um, uh, four, the moment at four factories with around 70,000 square meters. And we are producing the batteries, the modules, the storage system, and all of, we providing the inverter technology, PCS systems and also with transformer, um, stations, um, with all additional necessaries of, uh, battery management and energy management software. We have around 1,300 people working around globally. And you can see here our production is, uh, fully automated. We have 30 years experience because the regional of Teman was coming then from the market of installing switch gears and rectifier. So we are having all this engineerings of inverter systems. We have the, um, the battery management system, the energy management, uh, system, and we are vertically integrated where we are. The headquarter is sitting in Chendu, middle of China. We have offices in per Johannesburg in Congo because we installed, um, um, a system together, uh, with a mining company. Uh, we have in Agadir joint venture that we would like to produce 2027, all the batteries in Morocco for the market in Europe and us. Our headquarter from Europe is here in Munich. We have an office in Amsterdam, in Chile, in Mexico, and in San Francisco. What are the typical applications? The typical applications are for immobility solutions, so power, backup power for immobility. Then we have electricity marketing. It's very, very common at the moment that because of the grid situation to grabbing, um, uh, power from the grid, if the grid has too much capacity and you're delivering from storage system into the grid capacity, if the grid has no enough capacity, then coverage of power peaks and in-house power consumption is another application. It's very well known. Grid services, as I explained to you right now, independency of off-grid solutions because it's a necessary sometimes that the industrial companies or big players will be independent from grid, will eliminate blackouts, and then the rest is load management. So own consumption, increasing PV installation on the rooftop for, for having, uh, opportunities of energy for industrial companies and all of the load management. So then they can automate peak shaving, peak shifting to make sure that they can, um, stop high costs of energy, which comes from the grid companies. Yeah, what we are delivering, we are delivering the whole, the whole bunch of systems from small, uh, residential systems to CNI products and all the big, uh, 20 feet, 40 feet container solutions together with PCS and transformer for fertility scale. What is also very important to know that we are ranked from Bloomberg as tier one supplier since last year. So then also they, they applied our quality for giving this ranking to tier one core power products. As, um, I, you can see here is a typical use meant of the energy storage because for example, on logistic companies, they have a huge logistic farms and, and, um, and roofs. So they can install on the rooftop many, many capacity of PV panels, and they can use the energy for their own consumption because the most of the logistics, the necessary to cool the fruits or whatever. So they need all the, um, forklift systems in the logistic center, and then they need the power for 24 hours, seven days. And this is a necessary to share this power to the, in the in-house consumption. And although for buffering for later on immobility trucks to charge the trucks during the night, the power for tomorrow is all of the integration of pd, uh, for self consumption. Also for small companies even they have a small roof with 200 or 300 kilowatt hours, so they can also use the, the energy for their own consumption and over making peak shaving over for smaller, for smaller companies. And then they need storage system in the range of 240 roughly to 418 kilowatt hours with such as very, very compact systems together with MPP trackers, because it's necessary to put in the right way the power from, um, DCPV into the energy storage system in giving out them to their own grid. This is another, um, the peak shaving issue that I explained to you before. So it's all the necessary. You see here, this is a normal curve of a medium size, um, um, manufacturing area. And you can see the yellow one is a peaks having during the day on the evening or the morning if they don't have it. So even they are installing pv, so they can also work with pv. But the pv um, installation is, um, this curve in the noontime. It's a, it's a, most of the, of the energy and the rest is a little bit missing. If they are, would like to make the peak shaving here for the peaks so they can cut it with the energy storage system. This is a blue curve and you see that they cutting the whole peaks. And so the, on the, on the end of the day, this company has not to pay the full amount of energy they normally have to buy from energy companies, that this is also helping medium sized companies to reduce the costs around 30% or 40%. Another opportunity is, uh, community electricity storage systems. So as I told you, the residential systems, uh, installation will going down because for new communities, so the grid is over here, only 100, uh, 100 kilowatt or 50 kilowatt. So then if everybody's installing, uh, batteries and everybody would like to share the cars with immobility, so the grid capacity is sometimes to lower. This is the reason that the grid companies are disconnecting the AC wall boxes during the evening if too much people are sharing or charging. The same time. The cars though, to eliminate the situation, it's an opportunity to make a buffer storage system in communities to deliver the end of the storage system in all the households without residential systems. And then it's not the problem to load on the evening with vault AC vault C boxes, the, the, um, the EVs. But this is also a very common opportunities to use then storage system as a buffer stations in the range of 200 kilowatt hours, maybe up to 1.5 megawatt hours. This is a leak logistic hub. I explained to you before that this is other than the installation of big in, in industrial companies, and, uh, so you can see here, so storage system of a capacity was, um, uh, 1.2 megawatt hours with a 600 kilowatt in vertical capacity, and they were saving around 70,000, 70,000 euro, uh, per year for making this peak savings. What is all the important is industrial data centers. So it's a, it's a, a necessary team because in the past years, all the data centers was equipped with, uh, lead acid batteries, but lead acid batteries. The problem is the life cycle of this is 1,500 full cycles, and if there is only for emergency situations, and, uh, some data centers has whatever, 10 emergency situations a year, so then 1,500 full, um, charging and discharging cycles is enough for lead acid batteries. But in the, in the moment, all these industrial data centers would like to in integrate PV and if they would like to integrate pv, although in the data center, so they need one cycle a day for discharging and charging. So then it's necessary that they have around 365 cycles a year in 10 years, 3000, uh, 620 or 7,000. So they cannot work anymore with lead acid batteries. So they have to go to lithium ion, uh, batteries because they can provide between six and 8,000 cycles in the next decade. It'll going up to 10 or 12,000 cycles. So then this is the reasons that every industrial data center is changing from lead acid batteries to lithium ion batteries, of course, uh, another industrial opportunity is to integrate pv because if you're using the right PV panels with 40 years lifetime, uh, so you can produce all the, in Europe or in the central Europe for instance, or in Germany, um, the kilowatt hour for one to 2 cents, this is the cheapest energy you can ever produce. It's cheap as nuclear power. And together with a storage system, it gives us the opportunity to produce a kilowatt hour price for around seven 8 cents maximum. And this is an all necessary that all the industrial companies, they can, um, eliminate huge costs, um, of the grid power, uh, capacity that they need anomaly from grid companies. What is all the very important is to know if you would like to do this, if you would like to be independent over from, from grid because of blackout. So then it's an opportunity that all those storage system can, can make their own grid if you have a blackout, but in this case, then it's necessary if a blackout is coming that the energy storage system has to react in 10 milliseconds because the three phases are starting to shift before a blackout comes. And then in 10, in 10 milliseconds, if it's not stopping, then the grid is collapsing. And in this time the energy storage have to start their own grid. But this is a, a necessary step for the inverter technology. The inverter have to give, uh, the power, um, information then to the storage system. And the combination of the right inverter system together with storage system is a necessary to make sure that in 10 millisecond the storage system can react. Yeah. What we are using for such as commercial and industrial solutions are liquid cool systems because the liquid cool part is the better part for the batteries. You can, you can, uh, um, make the compact systems and you have an opportunity to bring more capacity in such as a system. This small system has a capacity of 240 to 250 kilowatt hours, and with air cold systems, you can only bring around 80 or 70 kilowatt hours in such a same Rex because of the modules with our liquid. Cool to have more capacity in one module. You can see it here, this all the bigger one for 400 kilowatt hours, all for commercial industrial information. Uh, installation, you can see a 20 feet container. This is the latest state of the art technology in 20 feet container, um, only 20 feet, very small. We can integrate five megawatt hours because of liquid cool part. And this is all the unnecessary step because the place for installing it is, is very, very small. Yeah. Utility power products, it's necessary to help the grid companies and to help the utilities to, to install all the energy systems for making the grid more stable. It's then also for integration of the whole compact, um, systems. Um, um, then 40 feet, 20 feet containers together with inverter systems and with transformer, and you see it here if you're making this an optimization, um, together with the wind farms to integrate PRL primary and secondary reserve regulation. So in this case, if the frequency is going down, for example, and it's shortly for a blackout, then they need capacity from storage systems, from storage systems provider to help them in 30 seconds or in 15 minutes for primary and secondary reserve to give capacity in the grid. And then the frequency is going more stable. This is support this, it's very common and it's necessary for hold our grid, for instance, in Germany in the whole Europe, very stable. What you can do, because of this opportunity to help the grid companies, you can make electricity marketing and you can then send, um, energy in the, in the, in the grid if the grid needs this, and you can grab from the grid capacity if the grid capacity is too max or is too, too high. So then in two cases you can, you can get the money. And this is a typical tage market. It's day ahead, it's quarterly. Our actions intraday, it's a primary controller. Serve secondary risk controller serve. As I showed you before for optimization, you can make a huge money and, uh, this is an, an opportunity to stay. You have standalone systems. You can put the standalone systems like you can see it here, the storage system in the range of five megawatt, or in this case four 20 feet container or 20 megawatt hours, up to 100 megawatt hours to install this directly on substations. And then you can electricity, make marketing. And in the revenue in one year for one megawatt installed system is around 80,000 to 140,000 euro. And this is an opportunity because one megawatt hour storage installation costs around 180 to maximum 200,000 euro for the full installation with all service and 10 years warranty. So in two and a half years, the return of invest is done. And this is a necessary step, but obviously you have to be sure because the requirements are also very restrict. You need the right FDE requirements and that though we, we have this for this, um, uh, medium s size, uh, voltage installation, a diff different kind of opportunities we can realize to our systems for our systems. And then all the differentiation. Uh, with, with systems, we can provide PCS systems together with the storage up to 2,500, uh, kilowatt for one PCS system, the PCS systems have to work it rise requirements in the four quadrant situation for generation in consumption, it's a necessary technology requirements that all the inverter system has to be done. You can have the 1,500 kilowatt PCS and MV station, or 2.5 megawatt PCS and MV station fully in installed, pre-installed on our skid. So we are delivering this completely with the energy storage system. Um, yeah, best for high, um, installation of big companies. They have a huge network, you see here, industrial company with some, a big, big internal network. And, uh, so this installing of PV and wind, and it's necessary also to have here the storage that is working in this, in this complete, um, integrated, uh, grid on this big, big, big industrial company. It was also necessary then to provide a cybersecurity because this company, they have so many different kind of internal grids, and for all internal grids, it's necessary to make sure that the energy storage system has a cybersecurity interface that is not allowed then from the storage system to look in all these internal grids of the customer. But the customer would like to, to have all the information from the storage system, um, to make the energy management very precisely. In this case, we have to install a firewall security system, and it's also necessary to provide this to industrial companies. You can see here an overview about the ROI. Um, if you're installing a peak chaining opportunity's, a savings in one year is 150,000. The storage system cost was 470,000. So you can see that in three years we have done the return of invest. It's the same as, um, primary control, power market, electricity, and uh, also here for a huge industrial company for making, um, project example of 7,000 hour solutions. If you're going from, from, uh, 6,400 or 500, uh, full working hours a year to 7,000, you will get a benefit from the grid companies. It's 2.4 euro cents. And so we can see here also that because of this, it's because the energy storage can make peak shifting and peak shaving. And together with assist, you can save around, uh, 700, uh, 270,000 euro a year, and the costs for the storage was only 600,000. So in two years, the return of of invest were done. We have core products for agriculture farms. It's very necessary. We have all the buffer stations for the immobility, so we have to provide, um, um, power to immobility or rest station, all on industrial companies. It's necessary, uh, to provide energy to the cars with DC in whatever, 10 minutes for driving 350 kilometers. And, uh, without PV or with pv, it's necessary because with PV installation and, and, and a mobility, you can charge more cars. We have an opportunity for providing to mining and gas and oil power supplies to be independent, um, from the grid. This is necessary for mining companies that are using the most of the diesel that will eliminate the diesel aggregates. And this is all the necessary part that we can deliver the whole installation. We have emergency power products. It's mobile products. So one, one track can can, can give you energy about 600 kilowatt to one megawatt. We have the cube box. It is fully integrated with everything with transformer, with PCS, with software, with batteries, and in this case, over over 600 kilowatt hours. You can bring it then, uh, to different kind of, um, highway buildings or, uh, to, to, to cities. Uh, they would like to, to have parties or would like to, to make different kind of, um, of usage. Yeah, what is necessary, although we have a smart operation maintenance cloud system, all of this information coming, coming out from the storage system, from the whole system are based in the cloud in Germany, for example, and everybody who's working with he can get all this information on the iPad, on the iPhone, and all the, uh, cloud-based situation, um, for making this, um, um, conent to the real datas and getting all this information in the same time. Energy management software, I told you is very important because you have to manage all incoming or upcoming, um, energies. It's a necessary, and this is all developed by our side. We have a support team here in Europe. We have a support team, um, in, in Hamburg. We have a support team in, uh, Braman. We are opening one in the in Munich, and we have an excellent service partners with around more than 100 people in Europe for doing this. We are ranked as Bloomberg. You can see here all these, um, um, uh, certifications that is necessary, um, to get connected to greed, for example, in different kind of, of, uh, of countries that you can see. We have all these certification requirements, uh, for such as installations. You can see here a small and big installations for around, um, 100 kilowatt, 200 kilowatt, 400 kilowatt hour systems, up to many, many megawatt hour system solutions in the world. Thanks a lot. Hi, and welcome. I'm Mo Brizi, two certified interval takes and energy storage systems and someone who's been elbows deep in energy systems for over 20 years. I've worked on hundreds of, of PV and battery storage projects across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. From design and installation to system troubleshooting. I've seen almost every mistake in the book, usually more than once, and that's exactly why we created the Tech Woman Best Academy. Before we dive in, let me share a little mental model I love using. It's called, you only have two things to worry about. It's funny, it's simple, but it cuts through complexity like a hot knife through lithium. I hope the humor comes across the right way. It just meant to break the eyes and make things easier to do, to digest, especially for those newer to the topic. Definitely not meant to offend anyone or downplay the complexity. We all started somewhere, right? So let's try it right now. With energy storage, you only have two things to worry about. Either you understand battery energy storage systems or you don't. If you do, you've got nothing to worry about. If you don't, you only have two things to worry about, whether you learn from the best academy or whether you learn from experience. If you choose the best academy, you've got nothing to worry about. But if you choose experience, you only have two things to worry about, whether you are gonna be lucky and keep the projects and clients while figuring things out or whether you are gonna lose customers and learn the hard way. If you get lucky, you've got nothing to worry about. But if you learn the hard way, it might be painful, expensive, and take years. And if it take years, you've got only two things to worry about. Whether you survive long enough to finally get it or whether someone younger, faster and better trained, take your place. If you survive, congrats. You've got nothing to worry about. But if you don't, you've only got two things to worry about. Whether you regret not joining the best academy sooner, or whether you pretended it, it was all part of your master plan. Either way, you've got nothing to worry about because we built it for one, one reason. To remove confusion, reduce your learning curve, and make sure you walk into every conversation about battery energy storage systems with confidence. Let's begin the tech moment. Best Academy was built with two key goals, advanced applications, because best today isn't just a storage, it's GRE stabilization, time shifting, black start and more and expert learning paths. Because the people building and operating these systems can rely on surface level knowledge anymore. You want to be good at it. You only have two things to worry about, whether you understand the technology or whether it's going to cost you in time performance or lost projects. That's why we structured the academy to handle both real use cases and deep learning. Why is this exploding in relevance? Simple. The grade is no longer stable. Everything is getting electrified. EVs, heat pumps, factories, and flexibility is becoming non-negotiable. And if you have worked with solar, you already know the dock curve, that lovely shaped graph that shows how solar generation picks during the day when demand is low and then disappears right before evening when demand is highest. So the result is chaos. Overproduction at noon, grid stresses at sunset, and fossil fuels playing catch up at full speed. Best is how we flatten the dock. It stores excess energy at midday and releases it when it matters the most. And that's why we built the academy to give people the tools to handle complexity without being over helped. So what is a best, not just a big battery in a box? It's a multi-layered system. Battery cells, usually LFE, with different form factors, BMS, monitors, balances, protects. Without it you are just playing with fire. EMS, schedules, forecasts and dispatches. Maximizes, ROI. This is your brain. PCS dc two AC and AC two DC conversion grid compliance and reactive power. And then we've got fire suppression. HVAC is SCADA cabinets, communications, and so on. Each part is critical. Each part can go wrong and the academy teaches you how to spot, fix and optimize all of them. So here is what we did. We turned years of project experience into a modular video-based learning system, filmed in our own factories, narrated by real engineers, designed for four main roles, engineers, technicians, sales teams, and yes, even investors. This is not a white paper, it's not marketing fluff. This is field tested knowledge, accessible, repeatable, and even fun. If you like electricity and explosions. Let's talk about what you'll actually walk away with from the best academy. By the time you complete it, you'll be able to explain the role of each core component in a best commission and troubleshoot a system with confidence. Understand P-C-S-E-M-S and BMS, not just by name, but by function spot installation risks before they cause failures, and calculate real world R-O-I-L-C-O-S and evaluate bankable business models. Speak the language of safety codes, U-L-I-E-C, VDE and TUV. And the most importantly, make decisions, not guesses. Whether you are sizing a system, pitching a project, or diagnosing a problem, you'll know what to do and why. That's what you learn here. Now let's look at how the academy is structured. It's broken into three levels. So no matter where you are in your journey, there is a starting point. The beginner level for those new to energy storage, what is the best, how batteries works, key terms, S-O-C-S-O-H-C rates, introduction to system components, the intermediate level for professionals who need to go deeper. System design principles, commissioning checklists, fault types and resolutions, safety layers and system logic. And the advanced level for high level engineers, consultants, and investors. Grid forming, black start eye lending, advanced EMS strategies, ROI. Modeling with LCOS and LCOE, multi energy integration and future trends. Each level contains between four to six modules built to match the real world knowledge needs of your role. No filler, no fluff, it's just the tool you need to become confident, competent, and future ready. In battery energy storage, you can follow the pass or jump into what you need right now. The platform remembers your progress and the certificate speaks for themselves. There are courses out there, sure, but here is why this one stands out. It's not PowerPoint slides, it's not read by robot voiceovers. It's not a sales pitch. It's filmed in real factories showing real systems and real people who actually install and operate this stuff. We've included mistakes we've seen and how we fix them, and we keep it updated. We take your questions and build new content from it. That's why it's different. That's why it works. The academy isn't just a course, it's a community. You get access to a portal for q and a case sharing and discussions, invitations to expert sessions, a growing library with advanced content, ai, dispatch, grid services and hybrid systems. And of course, if you're attending Intersolar, come meet us in person at Tech Laos, we'd love to shake hand and talk projects. So what do you do? Now? You only have two things to worry about, whether you join the best academy or whether you don't. If you do, you have nothing to worry about. But if you don't, you only have two things to worry about. Whether your competitors do or your customers ask Christians, you can't answer. If you do, you've got two things to worry about, whether you fake it or whether your bus finds out. If your bus finds out, you only have two things to worry about, whether you learn fast or start looking for a new job. And if you do join, will, then you've got nothing to worry about. Thanks for being here. Thanks for wanting to learn, and thank you for being part of the transition, not just to renewable energy, but to reliable, smart and safe storage. Let's build the future, right? Thank you. Back to you, Daniel. I will now directly jump into the presentation on the, uh, European storage market landscapes and especially, um, touching base on some of the highlights we have seen for battery and energy storage systems, uh, in Germany. So, um, to start off, within my impulse presentation today, um, I'm going to share a European level, uh, energy storage overview. And, um, yeah, here on the first slide, um, you will see the annual installed, um, storage capacity in gigawatt hours, um, compared 2023, um, to 2024. And, um, yeah, it becomes clear that, um, we are on a growth rate, um, still and the top markets, uh, within the European Union approximately, um, installed 20 gigawatt hours of new energy storage capacity only in the last year, um, 2024. Um, yeah. Why is the storage demand continuously rising? Um, it is based on accelerated, um, PV deployments and of course also also stronger incentives for sales self consumptions that are driving the storage, um, deployments all over Europe. Um, looking on a a country level, we see that, um, the biggest markets, uh, within the European Union, um, in terms of in storage, storage capacity, um, where Germany followed by, uh, Italy as well as the united, um, kingdom here. Um, we also have to differentiate, um, a little bit on a segmental level. Um, I will come to that also, um, yeah, on the next slide. But, uh, we see that, uh, the German market, for instance, um, is or has been, uh, characterized by, um, very large in or large volumes of installations in the, um, residential, um, segment. Whereas we see, um, trends, uh, in Italy and the uk, um, more already more towards, uh, grid scale, um, sizes in general. Um, we see a segmental shift. Yeah, that's also, um, you can, uh, see it here on the next slide, um, for pv, but also obviously then followed by energy storage from, uh, very strong residential markets, uh, previously now more towards, uh, larger, um, systems, uh, in the CNI as well as, um, utility, um, scale segments. Um, so my, uh, question, uh, of course is, and it is already answered by, um, Toma, Sasha in his presentation, are we prepared Yeah, for this shift? Do we succeed and are we aligning with that? And we can tick the box, um, especially for techman, we have seen it. Um, the portfolio is perfectly, uh, aligned also what we as market researchers, um, yeah, observe currently. So yeah, in other words, the investments within the CNI and utility scale, um, pv, um, segments and, um, but also storage of course, are increasing. And, um, we, uh, see the market transformation clearly. Um, now shifting towards, uh, yeah, more, uh, larger systems, uh, in the already now, but also in the near future. Um, coming up this slide, um, yeah, it was already shown, uh, uh, similar graphic, uh, by toma Sasha. I just want to now underline that. Uh, also from, uh, EOPD research side, the segmental shift, um, is already, um, happening, it's undergoing and, um, we, uh, see, um, yeah, uh, the grid scale surge, uh, is coming. Um, there's a boom, uh, from 2020, uh, five. Uh, so from this year we expect, um, a rapidly growing CNI segment, um, but also, um, the utility scale segment and you can see, uh, how we are, um, at UPD research defining, uh, the different, uh, segment, uh, classes. So, um, yeah, it will be going towards, uh, uh, larger systems. And, um, when we look now on the German, uh, country market, um, especially being one of the leaders, uh, within, uh, the European Union, but also, uh, globally, yeah, as one of the, uh, pioneers, um, for energy storage, um, we see that, uh, Germany, um, had a cumulative, uh, storage capacity installed of approximately 18.9 gigawatt hours by the end, um, of last year. And this amounted in our, uh, approximately 55% year over year growth compared to, um, the year 2023. Um, when we look on the use cases, um, we see in Germany, um, the residential segment is very strong, uh, due to, um, yeah, high tendencies, uh, of end customers towards auto key, as well as, um, self consumption. Um, for the, um, CNI or commercial use, um, energy storage in Germany, primary, uh, primarily helps with peak load management and, uh, ev charging. And, um, yeah, Germany also fosters, um, a very, uh, strict yeah. And, um, coherent, um, energy storage deployment agenda and a strategy, uh, 2030 that was, uh, implemented by the, um, yeah, by the last, uh, administration, um, we had here. So it's really about ensuring that we in Germany are meeting the, um, the renewable energy targets and also stabilizing our grid, um, due to the congestion we are currently facing. Um, also from the pv, uh, side, when we are also here for Germany, um, looking on the, um, storage developments on a, um, segmental level, um, we see that, uh, in Germany there were 6.7 gigawatt hours of energy storage added, um, only in 2024, which, um, amounted, um, in a, yeah, let's say moderate increase of 11%, um, compared to the year before 2023. Um, nevertheless, the, um, residential market was also in 2024. I would say very extremely strong with deployments there. Um, yeah, up to 20 kilowatt hours of 4.8 gigawatts, um, which is, which is great. Um, going even a little bit, uh, deeper down into the figures. Um, you see it, um, on the right hand. Um, we do have the, um, system breakdown. Um, Germany installed more than 500,000, so it's more than half a million of, uh, energy storage units in the year. Um, uh, 2024. And, uh, more than 400,000 of these systems are under 10 kilowatt hours. 135,000 are in the range of, uh, 10 to 500 kilowatt hours. And, um, yeah, more than 1000, um, are on the grid scale level, um, that were installed. Um, talking about, uh, 500 kilowatt hours plus what we also, um, have noted, uh, in Germany, um, the, um, average system, uh, sizes or capacities are constantly increasing. Um, obviously, um, we do have more to electrify. Yeah, there's more electricity consumption, but also one, um, result, um, is, is certainly coming from a, um, yeah, more efficient and higher power density of PV systems, uh, installed, uh, on the roof. Um, also here, um, I would like to highlight that, uh, large scale systems, um, installation of large scale systems slightly, um, declined following, um, a very, uh, yeah, good spike driven, uh, by tariff related incentive, uh, in 2022. So yeah, in, uh, summary of this short impulse presentation, um, I wanted to say that, uh, yeah, we are echoing what TechWomen does. Um, we are, um, yeah, thanking tecoman for the leadership, uh, in the energy storage segment, um, not only in terms of, um, product innovations, but also in terms of education as it was, um, explained, um, by Moss. And, um, if you would like to have more detailed information on our data, on our figures, um, we also, of course, invite you, um, to visit us at one of the upcoming trade shows. Um, we are, um, attending such as the smarter E and there you will find us, uh, in hall, a two booth 1 7 1. With that, I would like to, um, conclude my short, uh, presentation and, um, yeah, go now, uh, into a conversation with our speakers. And, um, yeah, I'm happy now to welcome back, um, Mosen as well as, uh, uh, Toma Sasha onto the stage because as I, uh, uh, said in the beginning, some questions arose, uh, yeah, during today's sessions, which I would like to, to ask, uh, uh, live now in this, uh, Teman webinar. Sure. Okay. So yeah, let's start. Um, Sasha, you, uh, you were the first presenter and, uh, it is, uh, yeah, it was a great presentation, very insightful. And, um, we are, yeah, seeing, um, a lot of traction, uh, for your insights. You, um, uh, delivered. And, um, so a question that came up is in terms of LCA, what are the perspectives of recycling the batteries after their lifespan, according to your insight now? Yeah, so we are working companies and as a European Union started, although the recycling, um, um, um, campaign and, uh, so that's a differentiation between different time kind of technology. So one technology is nuclear man and COBOL technology, and the other one is, um, a phos fault lithium phos valve. So we are only using this lithium phos valve because, uh, of fire opportunity team, it's, uh, it's a better solution. And, um, has not so many problems with the chemistry like, uh, NMC technology and with LFP, with lithium phos valve technology, um, all, um, um, institutes and the companies here in Europe are expecting that until around the 90 to 92% until 2030. So I think after the lifetime of, uh, lithium ion batteries, the most of them can be recycled to up to whatever, 92%. Although this means, in other case, it's the same as for lead acid batteries. And, uh, this is, uh, not an opportunity for having deep discussions because of this problem in whatever, 10 years, because the most of the storage systems we are selling, for example, have a lifetime of minimum 15 years to 20 with a cycle capacity of 8,000, for example. And then it's a, I think it's not a problem to recycle it. The most of the question is, is the technology existing in 15 years again, or do we have other technologies? Then it's an opportunity that it can shift maybe to natural, um, sodium sulfur technology in the future. Then not so much lithium ion batteries in 20 years are required, then recycling is necessary to use this chemist. Um, in the moment, yes, it'll be a problem in the, in the moment every author supplier has to, uh, to explain that, uh, would like to bring back the batteries or it's an, an issue of the client who is buying this. But, um, I think after the lifetime recycle problem is not existing. Thank you very much. Uh, yeah, for the answer to this, uh, important question. Um, so we also talked in the course of this, uh, webinar about the segmental shift. Yeah. It goes more into the larger scale systems installations, uh, in the battery storage, uh, segment. And, um, Sasha, how do you see it is VDA, uh, VDE one of the most important restrictions when it comes to connecting a storage system to the grid or whether you see the challenges in general for permits and approvals? Yeah, I think also many different kind of restrictions for IEC regulation and for Saudi regulation, but the most of the utility installation that the moment will be done to the grid, directly to the grid system, standalone systems or integration wind or pd, and these are the most of the applications for, um, making electricity marketing. So power trading, so bring in the grid capacity. If the grid capacity has not enough capacity, so the grid companies are spending huge money, and then if there's an over capacity in the grid, because in the no time too much, uh, PV installations are bringing the power into the grid, then the grid companies are expecting to deliver this to storage supplier owner. And, uh, but then they're also spending the money for this. But in this case, you have to be connected to substations, substations, energy storage systems in the range of 500, 5 50 megawatt hours to 100 megawatt hours, for example. Um, you have a restriction, this is fdi, and there is a special restriction. If the capacity together with inverter is more than 135 kilowatt, we have to fulfill FE 4 1 1 0. And this f is regulating the grid connection with medium-sized grids, like 1, 2, 36 kv. If you have a high voltage grid, the 110 KV line, for example, on a substation, [01:00:00] and you would like to connect it your energy storage system [01:00:03] to the grid, you have to fulfill the requirements from fdi. [01:00:06] E 4 1 20 is a special one. [01:00:10] And, uh, this is all connected together [01:00:11] with the PCS or inverter systems. [01:00:14] And, uh, there is all the, [01:00:15] a new regulation existing in Germany since February this [01:00:18] year that all these certifications from the PCS systems [01:00:24] that is related to the AC connecting [01:00:26] it's related is named. [01:00:32] And, uh, if you are not integrated in this database [01:00:35] and you're not having an ID number with your PCS systems, [01:00:39] you cannot get connected to the grid [01:00:42] and you cannot get the, the contracting starting [01:00:46] to the grid companies or transmission companies. [01:00:48] So it's a very special regulation [01:00:50] and it's necessary that everybody has to know it. [01:00:54] Thank you very much, uh, for the detailed answer, [01:00:57] uh, questions. [01:00:58] Uh, Asha, um, [01:01:03] it was great to, um, yeah, learn about the newly formed, [01:01:08] uh, formation of the, uh, TEMAN Academy. [01:01:11] This is really a great step forward [01:01:13] and underlines teman, uh, thought leadership, uh, [01:01:17] for energy storage storage. [01:01:19] Um, when is the launch date or the official one? [01:01:23] Well, uh, the academy will officially launch, uh, [01:01:27] anywhere in May, uh, next month's 2025. [01:01:30] Yeah. Okay. And I, I, um, just saw that, uh, in the chat. [01:01:35] Uh, there were already questions, uh, how I can join, [01:01:37] how I can subscribe. [01:01:39] I think these information were, were already shared, [01:01:42] but it's a, it's a good, uh, POC [01:01:45] and, uh, indicator that this is exactly, um, the [01:01:52] stakeholders across the entire value chain [01:01:54] to make the energy transition as quick [01:01:59] as possible in Yeah. [01:02:01] The whole world. And, um, yeah, we, once again, we, [01:02:05] we thank, uh, uh, Teman for this, uh, great initiatives. [01:02:10] And, um, yeah, with that, I would like to [01:02:13] conclude we are a little bit delayed. [01:02:15] Um, I do, um, apologize, [01:02:17] One point, Daniel. Yeah, please, [01:02:19] Please, uh, we'll release the beginner level course, uh, [01:02:22] on our official website and LinkedIn for you to try out [01:02:27] and if you're interested in intermediate [01:02:29] and advanced courses, so feel free to leave us a message [01:02:32] or contact via email. [01:02:35] The email address would be mkt@teman.com. [01:02:39] That would be for the enthusiast. [01:02:41] Alright. Thank you very much for, [01:02:44] for the additional information. [01:02:45] I think that's very important, um, for the audience, [01:02:51] uh, Toma, Sasha as well as you mo [01:02:54] for this very insightful, um, session. [01:02:57] Um, yeah, I very much look forward to continuing, um, [01:03:03] yeah, the, the Road to Excellence towards, uh, uh, [01:03:06] the energy transition together with Te Leman. [01:03:09] Um, we, we thank everyone for listening today [01:03:12] and we hope to see you at the upcoming trade shows. [01:03:15] Um, yeah, such as, uh, the smarter e uh, coming up soon. [01:03:20] And, um, yeah, with that I would like [01:03:22] to close today's sessions [01:03:24] and, um, yeah, once again, [01:03:26] it was a great pleasure being your host today, [01:03:33] very much. Bye-bye. [01:03:35] Thank you also for my side. Bye-bye. [01:03:37] Thank you. Thank you. And bye.
