Siemens Energy establishes network for efficient energy storage solutions
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.
