Prime Batteries, a company supported by EIT InnoEnergy, and Monsson have put into operation the largest electricity storage capacity in Romania.
This is part of the first hybrid photovoltaic-wind-battery project within the Mireasa Wind Park in Romania.
The biggest storage unit
The storage unit, with an installed capacity of 24 MWh, has been built in the Constanța county in Romania by Monsson, based on Prime Batteries Technology solutions. It is the first out of three stages with a total planned capacity of 216 MWh to be put into operation until 2025. The unit will be charged with energy generated by the already existing 50MW Mireasa wind farm, as well as with solar energy produced by the 35MW Galbiori 2 PV farm which is under construction and should be connected to the grid in 2024. In case of no wind or sun, energy from the national grid may also charge the facility. All operations are seamlessly automated and remotely controlled. The unit functions within an integrated system, driven by proprietary software crafted by Monsson.
