An Electrical Energy Storage Applications and Technologies Conference (EESAT) is intended for the dissemination of papers on specific electrical energy storage technologies and applications, with an emphasis on the latest commercial developments for the use of electricity storage in the power industry.

Each conference addresses the full range of electrical energy technologies, including conventional and advanced battery energy storage, electro-chemical capacitors, SMES, flywheels, CAES and pumped hydro.

Both technical and economic papers from international sources are presented at each bi-annual event.

EESAT Conferences are co-sponsored by the US Department of Energy (DOE), Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), and the Electricity Storage Association (ESA).
