NEC Energy Solutions announced on June 21 that the company has completed the delivery of Europe's largest energy storage system at EnspireME in Germany and will serve the main reserve market. NEC is responsible for contracting, procurement and construction (EPC) services in the project, including the GSS side. End-to-end network energy storage solution and its AEROS energy storage dedicated control software.
According to the Boston Business Wire, the project is located at EnspireME in Jardelund, Germany. The energy storage system has 48MW, over 50MWh of energy storage capacity. This 70m×12m building has about 10,000 lithium-ion battery modules, and these battery modules are enough for 5300 Germany. Home power supply 24 hours. The system can also stabilize the transmission grid by providing no power regulation, thus generating revenue in the main local reserve market. EnspireME is a joint venture between Mitsubishi and Eneco, and Eneco is a renewable energy company headquartered in the Netherlands. .

European transmission system operators (TSOs) need to ensure that there is a certain amount of capacity reserves to prepare for sudden power loss or large-scale power outages. The system's stored electricity will be sold to the German electricity market through weekly public auctions, and Europe The grid operator buys the required reserve capacity in the reserve market to ensure the 50Hz frequency on the grid. The energy storage system can also assume the role of major reserve suppliers and become a more sustainable and reliable alternative to coal and natural gas power plants. .
In addition, Eneco Group and Mitsubishi will work together to study the connection of batteries to local wind farms to provide more value by storing excess power from wind farms.
According to the global energy storage report recently released by GTM Research, the installed capacity in Germany is higher than that of China in the third place in the world in 2017. The installed capacity of household energy storage systems for households in Germany is relatively extensive. However, the largest energy storage system in Europe has capacity compared to many domestic projects. Not big.
Recently, China has frequently delivered or signed energy storage projects. The main applications are mostly large-scale energy storage power stations. The most popular recently is the Henan 100MW energy storage power station project. This is the first grid-side distributed battery that has been successfully connected to the grid in China. Energy storage power plant demonstration project. According to news from the Zhenjiang government website in Jiangsu Province, in order to ensure the safe and stable operation of Zhenjiang East Grid during the summer peak season, the construction and commissioning of all local distributed energy storage power stations will be completed by June 30 this year. The power reaches more than 100MW.
