Germany – Uniper is planning to build a battery storage system at the Heyden power plant site in Petershagen together with NGEN, a leading provider of energy solutions. The battery storage system with a capacity of 50 MW/100 MWh is expected to go into operation in 2025.
The battery storage system will consist of 26 energy storage packs. A battery energy storage unit is a fully integrated system that converts energy for storage in rechargeable lithium battery modules. The storage unit contains battery modules with integrated inverter modules, a thermal system for cooling or heating the components, and an interface for operating the system.
The partnership between Uniper and NGEN emphasizes the joint commitment to innovation and sustainability as well the expansion of renewable energy infrastructure in Germany. Energy storage systems facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources by balancing the intermittent nature of renewables, and ensuring a reliable, flexible power supply. By doing so, they also help to improve grid stability.
As part of the collaboration on this project, NGEN will open its first office in Germany in Frankfurt a. M. to further consolidate its presence in the European energy market.
