菲利普斯堡的原核電廠所在地將成為德國最大的電池儲能中心之一，每天可為約10萬戶家庭供電。 EnBW計劃安裝一套400兆瓦/800兆瓦時的電池系統，以幫助在德國轉型為再生能源的過程中即時平衡電網。
該系統透過捕獲風能和太陽能發電產生的多餘電力來運行，當發電量超過需求時。在需求旺盛或再生能源發電量低的時期，例如陰天或無風天氣，儲存的電能將回饋到電網。這種方法對於管理再生能源的波動性至關重要。
此外，該電池系統將與氫能燃氣發電廠集成，在可再生能源產量長期低迷期間提供備用電源，從而增強能源系統的靈活性和韌性。
菲利普斯堡的選址地理位置優越，靠近一座大型變電站和Ultranet輸電線，將德國北部的風電輸送到工業化的南部，是支持電網穩定的理想選擇。
等待最終批准後，該電池系統預計將於 2027 年中期投入營運。
The former nuclear power plant site in Philippsburg is set to become one of Germany's largest battery storage hubs, capable of powering approximately 100,000 homes daily. EnBW plans to install a 400 MW / 800 MWh battery system to help balance the grid in real-time as the country transitions to renewable energy sources.
The system operates by capturing excess electricity from wind and solar power when generation exceeds demand. During periods of high demand or low renewable generation, such as cloudy or windless days, the stored energy is fed back into the grid. This approach is crucial for managing the variability of renewable energy sources.
Additionally, the battery system will be integrated with hydrogen-ready gas power plants to provide backup during extended periods of low renewable energy production, enhancing the flexibility and resilience of the energy system.
Strategically located near a major substation and the Ultranet power line, which channels wind power from northern Germany to the industrial south, the Philippsburg site is an ideal choice for supporting grid stability.
Pending final approvals, the battery system could be operational by mid-2027.
