Energy Storage

For a reliable electricity supply based on 100% renewable energies, extensive decentralized and centralized stationary battery storage systems and chemical storage systems are essential. Medium-voltage transformers enable an efficient connection to the medium-voltage grid and grid management is optimized by power electronics.

One of the main tasks of electrical storage systems is to keep the electricity grid stable and fail-safe in the face of fluctuating feed-in from photovoltaics and wind. In addition, decentralized storage systems in industry and commerce allow the producers to increase their solar self-sufficiency. Storage systems offer economic and ecological savings potential in the face of sharply rising energy market prices. Intelligent power electronics and energy management systems optimize the interaction between generators, consumers, storage systems and power grids.

Chemical storage systems are used to decarbonize industrial processes and store renewable energy over the long term. Hydrogen production in electrolyzers is a clean and efficient process that only requires water and electricity. If hydrogen is produced with renewable electricity as a mandatory requirement, we have a sustainable energy source for storing renewable energy.

With the help of medium-voltage transformers, these storage systems can be connected directly to the medium-voltage grid and thus efficiently store renewable energy temporarily. In addition to the pure feed-in or feed-back of electrical energy, medium-voltage power electronics can also assume other grid-supporting tasks.
