Energy supply during dark doldrums: Challenges and solutions
What is a dark doldrums? A dark doldrums describes periods in which both wind and solar energy contribute only minimally to electricity generation. Particularly in the winter months, when dense clouds and calm winds combine, electricity production from renewable sources can drop sharply. Battery storage systems are becoming increasingly important as a flexible solution to […]
Smart grids: The role of battery storage for a sustainable energy system
New requirements for the electricity grid With the rapid expansion of renewable energies and the increasing electrification of the economy and society, the demands on electricity grids are increasing considerably. Conventional grids, which are designed for centralized power generation, reach their limits when decentralized and volatile energy sources such as wind and solar energy dominate. […]
Study underlines the great potential of battery storage systems
TenneT study underlines great potential of battery storage to stabilize the energy system Battery storage systems are becoming increasingly important for balancing out the weather-related fluctuations in wind and solar power. As the study “Quo Vadis, Großbatteriespeicher?” published by TenneT shows, large-scale storage systems in particular can make a significant contribution to the stability of […]
