The heat storage facility, which was ceremonially opened today in Hamburg-Altenwerder, contains around 1,000 tonnes of volcanic rock as an energy storage medium. It is fed with electrical energy converted into hot air by means of a resistance heater and a blower that heats the rock to 750°C.
The 130MWh Electric Thermal Energy Storage (ETES) demonstration project, commissioned in Hamburg-Altenwerder, Germany, in June 2019, is the precursor of future energy storage solutions with gigawatt-scale charging and discharging capacities. Siemens Gamesa, Hamburg University of Technology, and Hamburg Energie.
The heat can then be fed into the over 860-kilometer city network using a network pump system. To deliver the industrial heat to Hamburg households, Hamburger Energiewerke is using an existing enercity Contracting Nord GmbH pipeline to cover the first segment from the Aurubis plant to the Elbe River crossing.
Hamburger Energiewerke received funding from BAFA as part of the Model Project Heat Network Systems 4.0 (Module II) program. The Hamburg Investment and Development Bank (IFB Hamburg) also provided funding for the HEnW project in keeping with the “Companies for Resource Conservation” funding guidelines.
Our solar power systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
