Why is energy storage important in Germany?
Balancing the rising share of intermittent renewables calls for new solutions and business models. In Germany, energy storage has experienced a dynamic market environment in recent years, particularly for providing ancillary services, and in home applications. This report sheds light on the important topic of energy storage.
Can conventional power plants be converted to TSPP in Germany?
The final outcome is an atlas compilation for the potential transformation of conventional power plants to TSPP in Germany. It includes the locations and relevant physical characteristics of each TSPP, aiming to meet the basic energy scenario for 2040.
What is thermal storage power plant (TSPP)?
Thermal Storage Power Plants (TSPP) that integrate solar- and bioenergy are proposed for that purpose. Finally, in the third phase, renewable power supply can be extended to other sectors via power-to-X technologies, reducing fossil fuel consumption for transport, heat and industrial purposes.
How many conventional power plants are there in Germany?
With this purpose, a thorough examination of 645 conventional power plants with an original capacity of 60.4 GW in Germany was conducted, leading to the following results. Table 11 shows the statistics of the analyzing result regarding the capacities of 4 types of conventional power plants before the transformation.
How is electricity produced in Werlte?
In Werlte, the electricity is produced from gas together with heat through a CHP, which is operated by EWE. Since 2013, the excess renewable electricity can be stored as synthetic gas, fed into the public natural gas grid and be used for electricity regeneration when there is demand.
