Key Energy Storage Conferences in 2022: Industry Highlights and Strategic Insights
Navigating the 2022 Energy Storage Conference Landscape
The energy storage sector witnessed dynamic exchanges at several landmark events in 2022, with conferences serving as critical platforms for technological innovation and policy shaping. While no conference specifically branded as "ODM-focused" emerged, multiple events addressed themes directly relevant to original design manufacturers through technical sessions and supply chain discussions.
1. CESC 2022: Pioneering Smart Storage Solutions
- Dates: February 25-27, 2022
- Location: Nanjing, Jiangsu Province
- Organizers: Jiangsu Provincial Development and Reform Commission
This inaugural event became a hotspot for discussing modular battery design and grid integration challenges. Technical workshops emphasized:
- Standardization of battery pack interfaces
- Thermal management innovations for OEM applications
- Case study: CATL's 280Ah LFP cell integration strategies
2. ICEIV 2022: Academic-Industrial Convergence
- Dates: December 3-4, 2022
- Format: Virtual conference
- Keynote: Professor Xiong Rui on battery-swap standardization
The virtual format attracted 9,000+ registrations, with parallel sessions exploring:
- Protection circuit optimization for modular systems
- Comparative analysis of cylindrical vs prismatic cell packaging
- Data showing 15% cost reduction through standardized BMS architectures
Emerging Themes Impacting ODM Operations
Supply Chain Localization Pressures
Multiple sessions across conferences highlighted the 83% year-on-year increase in lithium carbonate prices, forcing redesigns of:
