At Solar and Storage Live in Birmingham in 2024 (September 24-26), Intilion will be exhibiting their innovative, modular and scalable energy storage solutions.
In December, Initllion commissioned one of Germany’s first co-location projects with Aquila Clean Energy EMEA, AQ Ampere and solar developer CEC Solar.
The Ammerland II solar park project combines solar technologies and Intilion’s battery storage solutions to achieve optimum electricity generation and efficiency.
The solar park in Lower Saxony has a production capacity of 8.2mwp and is also equipped with a 3.2mw battery storage system from Initllion with a storage capacity of 6.9mwh. The energy storage system makes it possible to store surplus electricity during periods of high solar power production and feed it into the grid at times of peak demand.
The Ammerland II project also contributes to increasing grid stability. By feeding in balancing energy, the electricity grid is stabilized even if there are deviations from forecast electricity consumption.
The energy storage facilities in Ammerland II are large enough to store the electricity requirements of around 7,000 households for 2 hours. The combined solar plant and energy storage park has been feeding electricity into the grid for more than a month, thus supporting local production capacities.
CEO of Initllion AG, Dr André Haubrock, discussed the successful completion of the co-location project in Lower Saxony:
“With the realization of this co-location project, we have completed a pioneering project that demonstrates how our energy storage systems can drive forward the energy transition. Until now, it has been common practice to build solar and wind farms without energy storage systems. As electricity generation from the sun and wind is irregular, there is often a time lag between electricity generation and consumption. In 2022 alone, more than 8 billion kwh of electricity was therefore curtailed due to grid bottlenecks. We are counteracting this with our energy storage systems. They are hugely important for making renewable energy available when it is needed. The project now in operation in Ammerland, Lower Saxony, demonstrates the vast potential of integrating solar parks with battery storage systems for an efficient and sustainable energy supply.”
