DESCRIPTION:Standards knowledge can set you apart from your peers!\n\nStand
 ards form the fundamental building blocks for product development by estab
 lishing consistent protocols that can be universally understood and adopte
 d. This helps fuel compatibility and interoperability and simplifies produ
 ct development\, and speeds proof of concept. As standards are globally ad
 opted and applied in many markets\, they also fuel international trade. We
  will also talk a little about Utility Scale Battery Solutions and the sta
 ndards that will be applicable to the Smart Grid of tomorrow.\n\n- The ene
 rgy industry is undergoing a pivotal transformation where the electric inf
 rastructure is changing to a more decentralized model toward more sustaina
 ble energy solutions.\n- With more than 80% of the total energy produced g
 lobally coming from fossil fuel-powered thermal plants\, we are seeing a t
 rend of reducing water consumption and altogether shifting away from this 
 kind of energy production.\n- Energy efficiency initiatives and technologi
 es are increasingly implemented across the globe.\n\nSpeaker(s): Christoph
