SubsidieMeestersAirborne wind hybrid renewable microgrid with RedOX Flow battery to provide flat renewable energy to an industrial site
The project aims to develop a carbon-neutral energy solution at Storengy's Peckensen site using airborne wind energy and advanced storage to support decarbonization and serve as a replicable model.
Projectdetails
Introduction
The objective of this project is to create a carbon neutral solution for the energy provision of the gas storage site of Storengy at Peckensen. Storengy considers this site as a demonstrator for future replication to similar sites in their portfolio where similar needs and restrictions apply.
Project Context
This project frames in a larger program of innovative projects targeting the decarbonisation of the Storengy activities and, by extension, the general movement of the ENGIE group to be a leader in the energy transition.
Aquilon Project Overview
The Aquilon project is a demonstrator for both airborne wind energy (AWE) production at a 160 kW scale and an integrated renewable energy and storage (RES) solution. This solution includes:
- Multiple diverse renewable energy sources (PV and AWE)
- An advanced storage system (redox-flow battery or RFB of 420 kW)
- A flat electricity output profile thanks to an advanced microgrid solution incorporating a smart energy management system (EMS)
Furthermore, the project will test the RFB for ancillary (grid stabilising) applications.
Site Selection
The site where we decided to construct this demonstrator is the Storengy Peckensen Underground Gas Storage site. This location was chosen due to:
- The need for renewable baseload flat-profile electricity consumption
- The specific safety measures and site restrictions linked to a gas storage site, which prohibit the use of more conventional renewable energy production technologies
Project Impact
This project is a good example of a flat-profile consumer with specific needs, as well as the perfect proof of usage of AWE and its adapted storage technology. With this project, a total of 1,566 tons of CO2 emissions will be avoided.
Scalability
The individual blocks or a similar composition of these blocks can be upscaled to a very wide extent. The AWE has a wide variety of potential application markets (both centralized and decentralized), and the RFB can be implemented in a wide range of high-cyclic applications (either ancillary services or combined with AWE or other renewable assets).
