ADS-TEC Energy, a global player in battery-buffered ultra-fast-charging technology and large-scale storage, has installed eight large-scale storage containers. It represents the most powerful modular large-scale storage solution in ever installed in Sweden, offering a total capacity of over 20MW, and will be used by the sustainable infrastructure development company
Polar Structure AB.
The system is an ‘intelligent platform solution’ that provides grid-supporting services; in the event of grid fluctuations, battery storage is used to stabilise the grid as well as to store and distribute sustainably generated energy. ADS-TEC Energy is developing battery-based platform solutions that are designed to ‘optimise internal consumption and peak load capping’, providing back-up power when needed, and supplying primary regulating power.
Thomas Speidel, ADS-TEC Energy’s CEO, said: “The transition to a carbon-neutral energy economy is one of the greatest challenges of our time. In particular, the energy systems of tomorrow will be more electrified, more digitalised, and more decentralised.
“We are proud that we were able to develop and install a modular large-scale storage facility for our partner Polar Structure with a total capacity of over 20MW — a first for Sweden. This successful partnership with Polar Structure demonstrates the demand for large-scale grid-stabilising storage systems. Critical infrastructures, such as commercial and industrial networks or even energy grids, need continuous and reliable energy supplies. However, renewable energy is volatile since it is dependent on the wind blowing or the sun shining.
“The rapid expansion of these critical systems comes as centralised power plants and structures are being replaced by decentralised units in homes, companies, and infrastructure. This makes it even more important to store the generated energy and efficiently manage the energy flows. ADS-TEC Energy offers complete solutions for this, developing and building highly-integrated, highly-efficient system platforms comprising hardware, software and services.”
