DAY 3️⃣ Last day of the ⚡️BaTT Forum⚡️ on batteries stationary applications at ATEC - Academia de Formação in Portugal 🇵🇹 During this last day we had the opportunity to hear André Caldeira Pinto from b.again, dstsolar, about #renewable #energy #communities, and the essencial role of #batteries in these systems. We also had the privelege to have with us Sherry Wei from CALB Group Co., Ltd. and learn about their market approach, BESS solutions and the investments for their first Gigafactory in Portugal and Europe. I also had the chance to present the Voltage project and how we are preparing the implementation of 5 regional Centers of Vocational Excellence, #CoVe, for the battery industry in Sweden, Finand, Germany, Turkey and Portugal, where a teachers' Forum will play a key role in the capacitation of the schools. In the end, the coordinator of our #CaBatt project, Katarina Sandbacka, introduced the #erasmus program opportunities, which was the moto for the final workshop to discuss ideas 💡 for future cooperation between the participants. A big thank you to all participants and partners for such great time of sharing, learning and cooperation🤝

DAY 2️⃣ The second day of the ⚡️BaTT Forum in Portugal⚡️was dedicated to a study visit to Exide Group plant of lead acid #batteries, where we were able to learn about the full production process and the Exide portfolio. During the visit we were also able to visit the BES system installed which is storing solar energy and feeding one of the social builidings of the plant. Thank you to our partners José Barreiros and Filipe Mateus for hosting the group and guiding us through the plant. During the afternoon the group had the opportunity to visit the Belém area in Lisbon! Tomorrow we are back to ATEC - Academia de Formação for the final day, with some more lectures and workshops.
