Hungarian Village Gets Mobile Energy Storage Space Unit – EQ Mag Pro
German electric energy E.ON has actually been developing large-scale mobile and flexible battery storage space systems (BESS) in Hungary to promote the combination of brand-new eco-friendly power plants right into existing grids at short notice.
Recently the firm linked the third such mobile storage system to the local circulation grid in Dúzs.
The relocation belonged to the EU-funded IElectrix project, which intends to install a solitary as well as smart European electricity grid to integrate renewable resource resources throughout the continent, accelerating its energy change.
IElectrix belongs to Perspective 2020, the EU’s largest study and innovation program. Within 3 and also a fifty percent years, 15 project partners from eight EU nations and the circulation grid driver TATA Power DDL from India are collectively creating mobile storage systems as a rapid and also cost-effective solution to regional challenges in the circulation grid.
IElectrix is funded by the EU with EUR7.9 million, the complete project quantity is EUR10.7 million. The consortium leader is the French distribution network driver ENEDIS supported by E.ON as the Technical Director.
The mobile storage space system situated in the village of Duzs, main Hungary, is expected to help for the further expansion of environment-friendly energy in the area which uses terrific problems for photovoltaics however the installation of even more solar plants has actually reduced since new plants go beyond the available grid abilities.
Mobile battery storage space can raise the share of renewable resource in neighborhood grids rapidly. The price of such storage can be as much as 80% less than the cost of standard grid expansion. The time cost savings can total up to several years in some cases.
“The development of renewables is an essential prerequisite for Europe to accomplish its environment targets. Within the following years, renewable energy capabilities will certainly expand as never before.
Nonetheless, existing networks have actually not been made to satisfy these obstacles when they were constructed. To bridge this gap, clever innovations for temporary flexibility are required,” says Mark Ritzmann, Handling Director at E.ON Innovation.
“In this respect, Dúzs as well as the other IElectrix websites, with their mobile storage units and use electronic technology, are actual display projects for a sustainable energy future,” he adds.
E.ON has actually already incorporated 2 battery storage space facilities right into its grids as part of the IElectrix project: in Friedland in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany, and also in Zánka Hungary. Over the following 3 years, E.ON will certainly spend greater than EUR7 billion in the German distribution networks alone.
Mobile storage facilities are seen as an inexpensive option to grid growth which is indicated to make up for grid bottlenecks and accelerate the transition to eco-friendly energy at a local level without immediate additional grid development.
“The complete mounted ability of solar power plants linked to the grid has actually expanded by more than 17 times in the last 4 years in E.ON’s service area in Hungary alone. In the future, brand-new capacity will certainly be created in numerous locations,” says Attila Kiss, CEO of E.ON in Hungary.
“With our options, we wish to assist homes and services benefit from this advancement and also use regional environment-friendly power where it is generated. This enhances regional value production as well as makes the switch to renewables more eye-catching,” added Kiss.
