The flexible Futura infrared heating system from the company Kübler can be operated using green electricity as well as green hydrogen. At the same time, the multivalent heating system can use biogas, LNG or natural gas.
The new Wartburg storage unit in Eisenach in Thuringia is designed to compensate for fluctuating feed-in and stabilise the grid. It operates at 1,500 volts (DC) and has a output of 60 megawatts. Its storage capacity reaches 67 megawatt hours. Important components were supplied by SMA, and the project was planned and installed by Smart Power.
The market for energy storage is currently growing massively. Tesvolt is currently experiencing demand that exceeds expectations. Read here why this is so.
Next Kraftwerke reached a new milestone in April 2022. The company passed the 10,000 megawatt mark for aggregated generation capacity involving power plants from the entire range of renewables.
Longer operating times for nuclear power plants are forcing solar plants and wind turbines in the EU to be switched off much more often.
