With a grant of more than EUR 2.1 million, the project is carrying out studies to prepare the way for the modernisation and hybridisation of the Čierny Váh pumped hydro energy storage plant in Slovakia. [pdf]FAQS about Slovakia s new energy project supporting energy storage
What is Slovakia's new energy storage project?
The Slovakian project will be the first of its kind in Europe, delivering gigawatt-hour-scale energy storage capacity to capture surplus electricity from VVB's hydropower stations and dispatch it to the national grid when needed.
What is one priority of Slovakia's energy policy?
One of the main priorities of Slovakia’s Energy Policy, approved in 2006, is to increase the share of renewable energy sources in power and heat generation in order to create appropriate additional resources needed to cover domestic demand. Analysis of regional renewable energy potentials.
How will echogen improve Slovakia's energy storage capabilities?
By enhancing Slovakia's energy storage capabilities, the project will: Echogen's PTES solution uses an electrically driven heat pump to convert electricity into a stored thermal differential, which is later transformed back into electricity using a high-efficiency heat engine.
Nepal Hybrid Energy Storage Project
Gham Power together with its partners Practical Action and Swanbarton have officially been awarded a project by United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) to install one of the largest energy storage systems in Nepal, with a total battery capacity of 4MWh. [pdf]
