Siemens Energy establishes network for efficient energy storage solutions
Siemens Energy launches "Future of Storage" initiative to
promote sustainable energy systems
Ecosystem of technology partners for energy storage solutions
created
Long-term cooperation with Norwegian EnergyNest on thermal energy
storage
Siemens Energy has launched the "Future
of Storage" initiative. The aim of the initiative is to bundle knowledge
and build an ecosystem of technology partners in order to offer energy storage
solutions tailored to customers' needs. Decarbonizing the world's energy
systems is one of the key goals of Siemens Energy. An essential component of
climate-friendly energy systems of the future will be efficient energy storage
systems - they compensate for the fluctuating feed-in of renewable energies and
stabilize the grids, making them a key driver of decarbonization.

Siemens Energy has launched the "Future
of Storage" initiative. The aim of the initiative is to bundle knowledge
and build an ecosystem of technology partners in order to offer energy storage
solutions tailored to customers' needs. Decarbonizing the world's energy
systems is one of the key goals of Siemens Energy. An essential component of
climate-friendly energy systems of the future will be efficient energy storage
systems - they compensate for the fluctuating feed-in of renewable energies and
stabilize the grids, making them a key driver of decarbonization.
With "Future of Storage", a global
team of experts is being formed that covers all available energy storage
technologies, from batteries to thermal and thermo-mechanical energy storage
systems. "We want to offer every customer the optimal energy storage
solution that best suits their needs," explains Anette Ossege-Schaffrath,
who heads the team at Siemens Energy. "To do this, we need access to a
broad portfolio of storage technologies. We need to have the necessary expertise
and develop suitable business models. With Future of Storage, we are creating
an important prerequisite for achieving these goals," she says.
"Energy storage is the
key to a decarbonized world," says Jörn Schmücker, CEO Large Rotating
Equipment at Siemens Energy and sponsor of the initiative. "With Future of
Storage and our partner ecosystem, we will be able to offer our customers exactly the solutions that
fit their needs - with the advantage of improving the efficiency and thus the
profitability of their plants.“
At the beginning of June, Siemens Energy
entered into a long-term partnership with the Norwegian technology company
EnergyNest. The start-up is a supplier of thermal energy storage systems. The
aim of the partnership is to jointly offer modularized and standardized thermal
energy storage systems for industrial customers. EnergyNest has developed a
heat battery that can be charged with renewable energy or with waste heat and
can discharge completely renewable steam directly into customers' plants when
required. This reduces the demand for fossil generated heat and at the same
time increases the flexibility of the plants.
Siemens AG (Berlin and Munich) is a global technology powerhouse that has stood for engineering excellence, innovation, quality, reliability and internationality for more than 170 years. The company is active around the globe, focusing on the areas of power generation and distribution, intelligent infrastructure for buildings and distributed energy systems, and automation and digitalization in the process and manufacturing industries. Through the separately managed company Siemens Mobility, a leading supplier of smart mobility solutions for rail and road transport, Siemens is shaping the world market for passenger and freight services. Due to its majority stakes in the publicly listed companies Siemens Healthineers AG and Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, Siemens is also a world-leading supplier of medical technology and digital healthcare services as well as environmentally friendly solutions for onshore and offshore wind power generation. In fiscal 2018, which ended on September 30, 2018, Siemens generated revenue of € 83.0 billion and net income of € 6.1 billion.
