By GlobalDataDescription
The Varel-Niedersachsen Hybrid Battery System Demonstration Project was developed by EEW Holding, EWE-Verband and New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization.
The key applications of the project are primary control reserve, secondary control reserve, balancing and reactive power supply.
Contractors involved
EEW Holding, EWE-Verband, New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization, NGK Insulators and Showa Denko Materials have delivered the battery energy storage project.
Additional information
Total budget: Approximately 2.88 billion yen.
The project aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of the large-scale hybrid power storage system designed by taking advantage of the features of lithium-ion batteries (capacity: 7.5 MW/2.5 MWh) with a high-power charge/discharge output and durable, large capacity NAS batteries (capacity of 4 MW/20 MWh), in combination with Hitachi Power Solutions’ power grid information and battery control system that controls both batteries and enables the following functions by communicating information for the electricity trading.
