ABB近日表示，该公司收到了瑞士公共事业公司Falbygdens Energi （Goteborgs Energi公司的一个子公司）的订单，为其配电网提供一套储能系统。
该储能解决方案基于一种新的储能技术增强电网的稳定性。ABB表示，储能设备将被安置在现有的一个Falkoping城的变电站中，可以存贮本地的风力发电。这套储能装置的容量将为75kW，循环周期将达到60分钟。
ABB says it has received an order from Swedish utility Falbygdens Energi, a subsidiary of Goteborgs Energi, to supply an energy-storage system for the utility's power distribution network.
The storage solution is based on a new technology that uses a battery storage device to provide stability to the grid. The equipment will be installed as part of an existing substation in the city of Falkoping and will enable the storage of locally produced energy from wind turbines, ABB says. The storage capacity will be 75 kW in cycles of up to 60 minutes.
According to ABB, this will help to balance peak loads during the day and enhance grid stability and facilitate the integration of renewable energies and the evolution of smarter grids.
“We have a significant proportion of wind power connected to the grid in this region and expect this to grow further," says Lars Ohlsson, CEO of Falbygdens Energi. "This innovative storage solution will make it possible to store wind energy during the night, when demand is low, and distribute it to users during the day, allowing us to use this clean renewable energy more efficiently and minimizing the need for fossil fuel-based electricity generation.
“As part of this pilot, we will also study the feasibility of the stored energy to be deployed as auxiliary power for charging of electrical vehicles,” Ohlsson adds.
