ABO Wind AG
Thomas Nietsch
Head of Future Energy Projects

ABO Wind envisages building wind farms and photovoltaic plants next to a new hydrogen refilling station in order to produce hydrogen from the electricity produced by these plants. Hydrogen is one solution of storing electricity. In buses and trains, it can be converted in electricity through a fuel cell.

In this study, an Optimized Swing Equation Control (OSEC) for supplying synthetic inertia (SI) by Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) is presented. It enables BESS to achieve the same dynamic frequency stability while significantly reducing their power output.

The project Storing Energy at Sea (StEnSea) comprises the development and testing of a novel pumped storage concept for storing large amounts of electrical energy offshore. In this marine pumped storage concept the sea serves as upper storage reservoir and a hollow sphere on the seabed as the lower reservoir.

The Water Battery can store electricity and thereby contribute to grid stability. The pilot project in Gaildorf, Germany, demonstrates the operating principle. The foundations of the wind farm are used as upper reservoirs. They are connected via an underground penstock to a pumped-storage power station in the valley.

Energy in Non Interconnected Zones (NIZ) is usually expensive and grids face important stability issues. Therefore, the French regulator CRE carries out specific tenders to combine renewables with storage facilities. This project successfully participated in a CRE tender coupling photovoltaic plants with a battery storage system. The purpose of the storage system is, amongst others, to provide a maximal output during 2 hours of peak period.

In 2018, the power storage system went into operation in the context of the Smarter Together project. An IT link to the control center integrates the storage facility into a virtual power plant. Intelligent energy management controlled by the virtual power plant’s operations center enables excess electricity to charge the battery storage and discharge it in response to subsequent demand.

The SteadyWind project consists of a large battery storage system that balances the electricity generation of the wind turbines in Ullersdorf, Germany in such a way that a constant feed-in of electricity into the grid can be ensured in the future. During high winds, the storage system smooths out peaks on the spot market.

The Mobility house
Dennis Schütte
Project Manager

The EUREF Campus in Berlin is considered as the living lab of the German energy transition and offers an open environment for testing new technologies and integrating them into the interconnected future energy landscape. To meet this challenge, Audi and project partner The Mobility House added a stationary storage system to the Campus's infrastructure in May 2019. Various use-cases will demonstrate the potential of the intersection of energy and mobility.

Matthias Kahl
Engineer Grid Development Strategic Network Planning

Transnet BW wants to reduce bottlenecks in its transmission grid in Baden-Württemberg with the help of a so-called grid booster. The net booster concept includes a load or adjustable energy generator at the beginning and a quickly deployable power source (e.g. a large battery) at the end of a line section that is particularly busy.
