Technical FAQs 4

What is the Hamburg ETEs demonstration facility?

The Hamburg ETES demonstration facility is designed to draw surplus electricity from the grid, store it in the form of thermal energy, and utilise the same to produce electricity, when it is most needed. The facility is capable of powering 1,500 German households a day.

What is electric thermal energy storage (ETEs)?

The 130MWh Electric Thermal Energy Storage (ETES) demonstration project, commissioned in Hamburg-Altenwerder, Germany, in June 2019, is the precursor of future energy storage solutions with gigawatt-scale charging and discharging capacities. Siemens Gamesa, Hamburg University of Technology, and Hamburg Energie.

Why is the port of Hamburg a major economic opportunity?

Handling, production, distributing and using sustainable fuels and energy sources in the port represents a major economic opportunity, HPA said. The Port of Hamburg produces energy to supply more and more ships with onshore electricity from renewable sources.

Can ETEs be scaled-up to store more than 1gwh of electricity?

Siemens Gamesa, Hamburg University of Technology, and Hamburg Energie. The ETES system has the potential to be scaled-up for storing more than 1GWh of electricity.
