Azores Distributed Energy Project development status
The development of Azores Distributed Energy Project was started in 2020. The project is expected to be commissioned in 2021.
Contractors involved
Electricidade dos Acores has partnered with Siemens Smart Infrastructure to construct and complete the Azores Distributed Energy Project.
Additional information
– The Azores have nine isolated autonomous energy systems with significant potential for renewable energy, mainly from wind, hydro and geothermal sources.
– The system uses Fluence’s latest generation technology, which combines factory built hardware, advanced software and data-driven intelligence.
– With a power capacity of 15 megawatts (MW), the Gridstack system will be one of the largest standalone (island) battery-based energy storage systems in Europe.
– To increase the system’s efficiency, a sophisticated microgrid management system will be used.
