Currently we are focusing on chemical batteries for our near-future projects, even though we believe that future energy storage technology has not been discovered yet.
We support chemical batteries as the most suitable technology for grid’s ancillary services. We are seeing this technology as the Grid’s UPS, it could cover short term storage needs, but it is not our priority for deep storage systems for load shifting applications. Following our above strategy, we are working on three type of projects:
- Centralized standalone battery projects, to increase grid’s stability
- Distributed small scale battery systems (with or without renewables sources) to help the decentralization of the energy production schemes
- Co-located hybrid projects, to produce (as asset owners) more normalized and predictable production curves
Our vision for the near future is to hybridize even more our projects, namely, not to collocate a battery system next to a renewable source, but also to co-locate different type of storage technologies.
Chemical batteries for short time electrical storage, Hydrogen for fuel storage and thermal technologies for storing heating capacities for the adjacent residential or industrial areas.
We are planning to develop, not only, green and profitable projects in terms of energy market, but assets with an added value for the local communities.
