Energy storage power station under construction in Hamburg Germany
In an opening ceremony in Hamburg yesterday, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy SA (BME:SGRE) put into operation an electric thermal energy storage system (ETES) that can
The heat can then be fed into the over 860-kilometer city network using a network pump system. To deliver the industrial heat to Hamburg households, Hamburger Energiewerke is using an existing enercity Contracting Nord GmbH pipeline to cover the first segment from the Aurubis plant to the Elbe River crossing.
The Hamburg ETES demonstration facility is designed to draw surplus electricity from the grid, store it in the form of thermal energy, and utilise the same to produce electricity, when it is most needed. The facility is capable of powering 1,500 German households a day.
Hamburger Energiewerke received funding from BAFA as part of the Model Project Heat Network Systems 4.0 (Module II) program. The Hamburg Investment and Development Bank (IFB Hamburg) also provided funding for the HEnW project in keeping with the “Companies for Resource Conservation” funding guidelines.
Together with private stakeholders, HPA takes pro-actively responsibility and supports the establishment of alternative fuel infrastructure in the port of Hamburg.Tanker Port areas are already bunker-ready in the port of Hamburg for any alternative fuel. Biofuels are locally available and being bunkered regularly.
