Download the Study "PV Battery Power Plants in Europe – Status, Trends and Potentials"

With the rapidly increasing number of fluctuating power generation plants (photovoltaic and wind), the need for storage in the grids is also increasing significantly. Internationally, as well as in some EU countries and also in Germany, the integration of battery storage in existing and especially in newly built PV parks is becoming increasingly important.

The short study provides an insight into the status of these PV battery power plants in Europe and highlights the following key topics in particular:

Motivation: why are battery storage systems being integrated into PV power plants on the generation side?
Current status in Europe: Examples from three EU countries
Current trends: Overview of battery technologies, system concepts and forecast-based operation management
Potentials: Technical and financial added value through flexible operating modes
