Renewable Energy, Energy Storage and Energy Distribution (grids) are some of the most important and strongly growing markets of the next decades and hence also key topics for research and development. Already today, it is a challenge to operate energy grids. Rising shares of renewable energy will enhance the challenge to an extent which makes new solutions and investments indispensable.
The project GreenStorageGrid (GSG) takes an integral and holistic approach across all energy generation and distribution systems. The project is composed of individual projects in the fields of energy storage and distribution. The highly interdisciplinary consortium will form a suitable framework for this work.
The innovation potential of GSG is based on the interface and interaction between hydraulic storage, thermo-chemical storage and grids as the connecting element. The project organization is open to take in additional projects for chemical and electrochemical storage. The project team will focus on the essential elements of a future energy system, through an appropriate combination of industrial research activities (experimental work, modeling, product development). The main task of GSG lies in modeling, simulation and optimization of technology towards a carbon-free energy economy.
The project brings together some key players of the Austrian energy industry and research institutions. The participating project partners have already participated in various individual projects in the field of energy research. By bringing together this huge know how and capacity in a clearly focused common objective, GSG will create a lot of synergy in an all-embracing project.
