Ingeteam has won an EU tender for the supply, installation and maintenance of a battery storage system for the European Commission that will serve as a test bench for this technology institution.
The lab will use a real system (no simulation) for feasibility analysis of the energy storage systems developed in the coming years.
Ingeteam. 5thof April, 2016.
After winning a European public tender, Ingeteam has set up an energy storage system including the supply, installation and maintenance of a mobile renewable energy storage laboratory at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC). The centre is based in Petten, the Netherlands.
The increasing use of renewable energy sources in power networks has given rise to a need for variability in energy production, and reliable balancing technologies are therefore required to:
provide additional power when energy production from renewable sources is too low, and
store energy when excess power is generated from renewable energy sources.
This balancing can be provided by energy storage technologies, not only in the transmission and distribution networks but also in smaller-scale networks. The necessary battery storage system must enable a variety of experiments to be conducted in this field.
