Join Sandia and the IEEE Energy Storage and Stationary Battery (ESSB) Committee for the IEEE Electrical Energy Storage Applications and Technologies (EESAT 2026) conference, held January 5-6, 2026, at the Omni Tucson National Resort & Spa in Tucson, Arizona. The EESAT conference is a premier technical forum for advances in energy storage technologies and applications. This year’s technical conference theme is The Future of Energy Storage. This year’s conference is also co-located with the IEEE Energy Storage and Stationary Battery (ESSB) Committee’s winter meeting to be held January 7-9, 2026.
About the Event
The technical program will highlight advances in:
- Security of energy storage systems including communications standards, supply chain considerations, and cybersecurity
- Markets and standards that unlock energy storage
- Novel applications of energy storage such as vehicle-to-grid applications and second-life batteries for new infrastructure
- Energy management and device management system advances that maximize value while enabling safe and reliable operation
- Power conversion systems that make grid-scale as well as distributed energy storage more efficient and effective
- Energy storage technologies including new battery chemistries, advanced mechanical energy storage, and thermal energy storage
- Long duration energy storage such as hydrogen and flow designs batteries as well as considerations of long-term needs and reliability
- Energy storage system degradation and implications of degradation on long-term economic viability
Book your room before December 29 to receive the conference block rate. EESAT 2026 is sponsored by the IEEE Energy Storage and Stationary Battery (ESSB) Committee, a part of the IEEE Power and Energy Society. Sandia’s energy storage program is an organizing partner.
