battery storage project: A new perspective for sustainable energy

Planning for a battery energy storage system (BESS) on the site of the Altötting-Neuötting sewage treatment plant meets interest and discussions in the city council of Altötting. Professor Dr. Petra Denk from the Institute for Systemic Energy Consulting (ISE) presented conceptual considerations for the innovative project that could serve as a model for other communities.

What exactly is it about?

The installation of a battery storage system on the sewage treatment plant is intended to optimize the emergency power supply and use possible synergy effects. It is checked whether a battery storage system can be used for the emergency power supply and the provision of system services. Two models are proposed: a BESS for the sewage treatment plant with 1MW power and a network -useful BES with 15 MW power.

The current status shows that an application was made to the Bayernwerk, while the building application was submitted to the district office. Neuötting basically supports the pilot project. The system is to be placed near the sewage basin to ensure efficiencies.

The financing and implementation of the project is expected to be taken over by a regional energy company. This should have the necessary specialist knowledge in order to successfully implement the BES.

A critical point in the discussion was the potential impact on the end consumer power prices. However, Professor Denk emphasized that the correct design of the feed -in process can achieve a profit that does not necessarily lead to higher electricity prices for consumers.

a step towards sustainable energy future

The presentation of the battery storage project on the site of the Altötting-Neuötting sewage treatment plant marks an important step towards sustainable energy supply. The integration of energy storage into existing infrastructures enables more efficient use of renewable energy sources and contributes to the stability of the power grid.

future developments and opportunities

The implementation of the battery storage system in Altötting could inspire other communities to pursue similar projects. Through cooperation with regional energy companies, the implementation of such innovative solutions can be designed more effectively. It remains to be seen how the project is developing and what new possibilities open up for the energy supply of the region.

Contribution to the energy transition in Altötting

The battery storage project on the site of the Altötting-Neuötting sewage treatment plant helps to modernize the regional energy infrastructure and switch to renewable sources. The discussions in the city council show the interest and willingness to take innovative ways to improve energy efficiency.
