Storage

Effective storage technologies are a central component of the energy transition and serve not only to store energy but also to ensure the stability of the power grid. They provide a safety net against natural fluctuations in renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, thereby supporting energy security.

In the storage research area, we therefore develop storage technologies, processes, and components that form the foundation for an energy system based on renewable energy. The focus here is on chemical, thermal, and electrical storage systems. In our storage facility, we can simulate and test these developments under real-world conditions.

Want to use wind and solar energy whenever and wherever you want? Hydrogen makes that possible. The hydrogen storage systems developed at the Energy Campus help make this happen: they store large quantities of this high-energy gas in the form of a non-flammable, non-toxic liquid. This ensures that the hydrogen reaches where it’s needed, when it’s needed, safely and efficiently.
