Siemens and Zukunftsenergie Nordostbayern GmbH (ZENOB) have signed a letter of intent for the turnkey construction of a 100-megawatt battery storage facility in Wunsiedel
The 200-megawatt storage
The 5,000-square-meter energy storage facility will be able to supply the average household of 20,000 square meters for one year. The lithium-ion battery storage system is supplied by a joint venture between Fluence, Siemens and AES. The project is led by Siemens, including the technological implementation of the concept, as well as the construction of the medium-voltage switching system and the connection of the battery to the high-voltage power grid.
Energy storage facilities help to stabilize the electricity grid and make better use of energy from renewable sources. Fluence’s upcoming storage system is designed to store and release large amounts of green energy. As a result, clean energy can be used more flexibly in periods other than production, including during periods of high peak load. The plant will start operating in 2022 and will produce up to 1,350 tonnes of hydrogen per year using energy from renewable sources only, such as solar or wind power.
