At the same time, the Group is aiming to secure the supply of battery cells beyond 2025. Together with partners, we want to have a total of six cell factories up and running in Europe by 2030 thus guaranteeing security of supply. Volkswagen is also vigorously pursuing expansion of the public fast-charging network globally.

Compressed air energy storage plants could help save the region’s abundant wind power—which is often produced at night when winds are strong and energy demand is low—for when demand is high and power supplies are more strained. About 13%, or nearly 8,600 megawatts, of the Northwest’s power supply comes from of wind.

Eguana designed the package around LG Chem’s battery modules and supplies its Bi-Direx inverter and controls subassembly. The low voltage design enables high-capacity batteries to operate in lower power ratings needed for decentralized systems (i.e. Eguana has also worked with Germany-based Sonnenbatterie on a similar ESS solution.

Two recently opened projected in Germany, Dr Sames pointed out, have demonstrated how using hydrogen to store surplus energy was already a viable technology. The project used a molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC), developed by MTU in Germany and modified for operation in a marine environment. Source: DNV. Click to enlarge.

And Germany isn’t the only country investing in hydrogen technologies. Airplanes, for example, won’t be able to fly long distances on battery power. In a typical scenario, wind power out at sea would be converted only once to direct current and then used to electrolyze water. The savings would accrue from several factors.
