Fluence, TransnetBW To Build 250 MW Energy Storage System

• The 250 MW Netzbooster battery-based energy storage system will be found at Kupferzell, Germany.
• The Netzbooster project is prepared for completion in 2025 as well as will certainly minimize operating prices of Germany's transmission system.

Fluence Energy GmbH and TransnetBW GmbH have introduced that they would certainly release the world's biggest battery-based energy storage-as-transmission project. The 250 MW Netzbooster battery-based energy storage system will certainly be located at Kupferzell, a significant grid center in Germany. Fluence said that the project will enhance energy security as well as considerably support Germany's energy transition path by enhancing the performance of the existing grid infrastructure.

Fluence is a subsidiary of Fluence Energy, a leading worldwide service provider of energy storage services and products, and cloud-based software program for renewables and also storage. TransnetBW GmbH. TransnetBW is the transmission system operator in the German state of Baden-Württemberg.

The Kupferzell project is planned for completion in 2025 and will reduce operating prices of Germany's transmission system. According to Fluence, it will reduce the number of needed safety nets in system operation, while likewise increasing the exercise of the electrical energy grid, hence minimizing the need for typical network reinforcement and also expansion.

The Netzbooster campaign was presented in 2019 as a cutting-edge concept under the 2030 German grid development plan. It will certainly enable the a lot more reliable operation of existing transmission infrastructure as well as lower preventive re-dispatch actions. This will certainly reduce the requirement for traditional network reinforcement as well as operating costs, therefore reducing network charges and ultimately energy expenses to customers.

Fluence maintains that the system will additionally relieve traffic jams stemming from carrying wind energy from Germany's north to the nation's southern tons centres. In the event of a failure in the transmission grid, the TransnetBW Netzbooster system will respond within milliseconds to supply back-up capacity to maintain power system stability.

" Becoming aware the Netzbooster project marks a turning indicate increase the buildout of energy storage at the transmission network degree in Germany and also across Europe," claimed Paul McCusker, SVP & President EMEA at Fluence. "Given the current energy crisis impacting Europe as well as the concentrate on speeding up eco-friendly buildout under the RePowerEU strategies, the release of this project is much more urgently needed than ever."

Dr. Werner Götz, CEO, TransnetBW, claimed, "To protect the industry leading energy storage provider to deliver our Netzbooster project is highly pleasing, yet likewise highlights our high standards and assumptions."

Markus Meyer, Managing Director at Fluence Energy GmbH, included, "With our advanced product abilities, extensive energy market experience, as well as expert knowledge of complicated TSO-specific applications, Fluence is well positioned to function as a key long-lasting partner to TSOs in Germany, Europe, and also worldwide, in deploying energy storage as the foundation of contemporary, resilient, and decarbonised energy systems."
