Ground knife and energy storage

Is energy storage the key to a decarbonised World?

“Energy storage is the key to a decarbonised world,” said Jörn Schmücker, chief executive of Siemens Energy’s Large Rotating Equipment business unit.

What if we don't have the right energy storage mix?

Dr Holger Wolfschmidt from Siemens Energy explains why without the right quantity and energy storage mix in place, we won’t be able to stabilise the grid, decarbonise power generation, secure energy supply and make sector coupling possible.

How does EnergyNest work?

EnergyNest’s innovative storage system can help balance renewables on the grid, reduce the price of 24-hour solar, as well as cutting the costs and emissions of heavy industry and conventional power plants When you think about humanity’s impact on the climate, images of airplane and car exhaust fumes may spring to mind.

Will Eni use EnergyNest equipment at its own gas-fired power stations?

Eni is now also considering using the EnergyNest equipment at its own gas-fired power stations. “The technology obviously has wider applications than just CSP,” says Francesca Ferrazza, Eni’s senior vice-president for research & technological innovation, decarbonisation and environmental research and development.

Are complementary energy storage systems necessary?

As the world aims to ensure a secure and decarbonised energy supply, it’s clear that a mix of complementary energy storage systems will be indispensable. Dr Holger Wolfschmidt is Senior Portfolio Manager Storage at Siemens Energy.
