enbw, bosch start up storage battery at coal-fired power plant - storage battery

* Well-known businesses such as power, battery supply, teamwork in Heilbronn * seek to make money in the balance of the electricity market * in April 13, FRANKFURT Eckert FRANKFURT saw in the utilities, automotive industryReuters)-
German car supplier Bosch and utility company EnBW started using batteries at EnBW's coal company on Friday
The Heilbronn plant was fired, which will supply a balanced electricity market when demand exceeds supply.
The two companies set up a joint venture last year to build the battery, which can provide about 400 small homes for more than a year.
They added that as the electricity market moves from fossil fuels to green energy, this is just the beginning of a further foray into storage technology.
"The first time we combined the battery with a large battery
Scale power plants, "said Ralf Klein, managing director of the joint venture.
"You can make money with it.
The battery is small and the maximum performance is only 5 MW (MW).
The most modern unit capacity at Heilbronn site is 750 MW and the heat is 550 MW.
However, Klein says it can absorb and release the capacity of 1 out of 5 that large power plants normally release to the balanced market at a favorable cost, because it can use existing staff, operations and power grid access. The so-
Organized by the grid operator called the primary equilibrium market, the service fee is set up and paid to the provider in the auction system.
The battery helps stabilize the grid fluctuations in a few seconds and may help solve the major problems caused by wind and solar fluctuations.
Batteries are becoming more and more important in all walks of life.
Bosch and EnBW want to sell their expertise to utilities and electric vehicle companies that are re-designing their logistics and work models.
Auto companies expect mobile batteries for electric vehicles to flourish (EVs).
Electric vehicles are expected to eventually replace gasoline or diesel vehicles, but electric vehicle suppliers cannot sell their cars unless charging stations are able to build and operate reliably.
These are EnBW and other utilities such as E.
The innocent people began to embrace. (
