Technical FAQs 4

Will augwind's 'airbattery' energy storage system work in Germany?

The facility will be the first operational installation at scale of Augwind’s ‘AirBattery’ hydraulic compressed air energy storage (CAES) system designed specifically for grid-scale energy storage for up to months at a time. Germany has over 400 caverns suitable for AirBattery, and geological potential for storing 330 TWh in total.

Will a 'air battery' be built in Germany?

Israeli company Augwind Energy is planning to build the world’s first commercial-scale ‘air battery’ in Germany, using underground salt caverns to store compressed air for electricity generation. Commissioning is scheduled for 2027–2028.

How efficient are Germany's pumped-storage power plants?

Efficiency is between 75 and 85%. Today, Germany has pumped- storage power plants producing a total of about 7,000 MW. The expansion potential is severely limited, especially in northern Germany where the balancing need is greatest.

How does a power plant work in Germany?

In any excess power supply, water is electrically pumped into a reservoir on a hill, so that it can be discharged when power demand is high to drive a turbine in the valley. Efficiency is between 75 and 85%. Today, Germany has pumped- storage power plants producing a total of about 7,000 MW.
