New Energy Storage Power Station in Hamburg Powering Germany
Discover how Hamburg''s cutting-edge energy storage solutions are reshaping renewable energy integration and grid stability. This article explores the technical innovations, environmental
The heat storage facility, which was ceremonially opened today in Hamburg-Altenwerder, contains around 1,000 tonnes of volcanic rock as an energy storage medium. It is fed with electrical energy converted into hot air by means of a resistance heater and a blower that heats the rock to 750°C.
Hamburg Energie is responsible for marketing the stored energy on the electricity market. The energy provider is developing highly flexible digital control system platforms for virtual power plants. Connected to such an IT platform, ETES can optimally store renewable energy at maximum yield.
Gasnetz is also building a gas transfer station on the site. This network connectivity not only creates a connection to Gasnetz Hamburg's HH-WIN distribution network project, but also a long-term connection to the European Hydrogen Backbone.
In addition, the strong deviations of the HafenCity's energy demand are dampened by the demand of the Port of Hamburg. Thus, connecting more districts of Hamburg or even other cities in Germany or the European Union can have similar effects.
