A new pumped-storage power plant, Limberg III, will be built in the vicinity of Zell am See as an addition …
The Smart Grid LAB Hessen project is investigating this question. As a project partner, our experts present the first findings. The energy transition calls for innovative solutions. Three important building blocks for its success are decentralization, digitization and decarbonization. However, the volatility of renewable energies and fluctuating consumption levels caused by consumers such as electric vehicles (EV) are pushing current power grids to their technical and thermal limits. Existing systems are therefore being upgraded. For a …
