The answer to the problem of fluctuating energy from wind and sun could be huge lithium-ion battery power plants. Battery storage systems that absorb excess energy and feed it into the grid precisely when there is higher demand are becoming increasingly more economical, but play only a minor role in the federal government's climate plans. What role will they play in the energy transition in the future? Are they also suitable as seasonal long-term storage systems and which types of batteries will prevail in this area? We talk about this in this episode with Prof. Volker Quaschning and Prof. Maximilian Fichtner. #Windenergy 04:06 Role of battery power plants in the energy transition 09:00 How do we achieve the heat transition? 18:11 Use of battery power plants 20:01 Distribution in Germany 22:10 Political support 32:52 Home storage vs. battery power plants 35:14 Ideal locations 37:02 Regulatory hurdles for expansion? 39:21 Seasonal long-term storage 45:10 Safety 47:32 Sodium-ion battery power plants 51:02 Service life 51:43 Efficiency compared to pumped storage Our GELADEN podcast has been nominated for the German Podcast Award.
