“The growing

interest, participation and support shown to our seminars by some of the

world’s leading utilities, global automotive OEMs, tier 1 system developers,

battery manufacturers, suppliers and researchers is impressive,” said JC Soman,

Director of Marketing at PlugVolt. “NextEnergy is a great location for this

event. They’ve done great work in the energy storage and electric vehicle

space, and have offered to include tours to demonstrate some ideas of what can

be done on a larger scale if the right development partnerships are formed.”

The tours

will feature NextHome, a residential home featuring combining smart home,

distributed generation and direct current technologies, which operates as a “living lab” within NextEnergy’s testing and validation platforms and allows

industry partners to leverage multiple Internet of Things frameworks and a

residential microgrid. NextEnergy will also showcase “what’s next” in

vehicle-to-home, vehicle-to-building and vehicle-to-grid technologies, as well

as demonstrate residential and community energy storage applications.

“By sharing

our space and some of our demonstrations, we hope to inspire future

collaboration to advance energy storage solutions in the utility and automotive

markets,” said Kelly Jezierski, Director of Energy Storage at NextEnergy.

“We’re looking forward to collaborating with PlugVolt on their October 2015

Battery Seminar.”
