Climate protection and

Energy supply

The world of energy supply is shifting towards climate neutrality and environmental sustainability. During this evolution, the storage of energy plays a pivotal role in achieving decarbonization and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions within the energy sector. Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy play a key role in the global energy transition, but their availability is subject to fluctuations. Maintaining equilibrium between supply and demand is crucial for achieving optimal energy output and ensuring a steady and uninterrupted energy supply grid.

Energy trading is also playing an increasingly important role. Energy is bought at off-peak times, stored, and sold at peak times to benefit from price fluctuations within the energy markets.

That necessitates allocating capacities and incorporating extra resources into the grid to guarantee the reliability of the system.

In addition, the stability and secure operation of the electrical grid must be ensured. The grid must be efficient and function reliably, regardless of fluctuations. That applies to both private and commercial environments. An uninterruptible power supply must be guaranteed at all times.  

One of the most economically efficient solutions available for this purpose is battery storage systems. They can be used in a variety of applications. ​

What are

Battery Storage Systems?

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) comprise of several rechargeable battery modules (sometimes second-life batteries) that can store energy from various (often renewable) sources and provide it again as required. They have an intelligent battery management system (BMS) as well as an efficient thermal management system. This will optimize energy storage for the best possible temperature control of the battery cells. ​

Their optimized operation is essential to meet the wide range of requirements. Battery storage systems play an important role in the integration of renewable energies into the electrical grids. They help compensate for fluctuations in energy generation, improve grid stability and make trading profitable. The benefits of these systems include cost savings, the use of green energy, less downtime, and a high speed of feeding energy back into the grid.
