Pioneers for energy security: Fluence and TransnetBW start construction of Germany's first Grid Booster

The Grid Booster is expected to reduce the need for grid expansion and ease bottlenecks stemming from transporting wind energy from Germany's north to the country's southern load centers. By limiting grid congestion, the project will support greater integration of renewable energy. Its innovative character lies in the usage of the batteries as part of a complex control system intended to reduce congestion on transmission lines. The project's footprint will be about 4.5 football fields in size and is expecte ...
