ā€œMultiple use of storages and other flexibility technologies lowers costs of energy transitionā€

German Āé¶¹ĪŽĀė°ę Agency

Using power storages and other technologies to relieve the electricity grid can significantly lower the cost of the energy transition and avoid grid expansion, writes German Āé¶¹ĪŽĀė°ę Agency (dena) in a new study. ā€œWe need a bridge between the market and the power grid. A big, new playing field for innovative products can develop this way,ā€ said dena head Andreas Kuhlmann in a press release. The study examines how the use of flexibility technologies such as storages, load management or power-to-heat could be optimised by applying them to multiple purposes.
