Battery supply for German solar container communication stations

Can Germany use solar energy?

However, renewable energies come with a catch: Due to a lack of storage capacity, Germany cannot fully leverage the potential that solar energy ofers. During sunny and windy phases, wind and solar park operators have to throttle or even shut down their systems repeatedly to avoid overloading the power grids.

Will Germany add more power storage projects in 2023?

Germany will likely add many more projects in the coming months, as the federal government increasingly focuses on storage solutions. In December 2023, the Federal Ministry for Economic Afairs and Climate Action (BMWK) published its “Power Storage Strategy” to accelerate the development of new capacities.

What is a battery energy storage system?

Currently, most large battery systems (Battery Energy Storage Systems, or BESS) are powered by lithium-ion batteries. Such batteries are favoured especially due to their long life cycle and simple operation. Furthermore, alternative battery technologies are still in development and therefore not yet ready for market launch.

What types of energy storage systems are available?

From 10 kWh to 30 MWh outputs, connected to low or high voltage, on-grid or off-grid, in combination with solar, wind, hydro or combined heat and power sources – our broad product portfolio of industrial and commercial energy storage systems covers the full range of applications and can be individually adapted to your requirements.
