Strong Partnership for the Implementation of a Grid-Supporting Large-Scale Storage Facility
A high-performance battery storage facility has been built in Worms that flexibly markets electricity on the energy market and will also be able to provide system services in the future. The project demonstrates how a complex storage project can be efficiently implemented through the collaboration of experienced partners.
TESVOLT took on key responsibilities ranging from technical design and engineering to the commissioning of the system. For the installation work, TESVOLT collaborated closely with the international multi-technical service provider SPIE.
Collaborative Implementation of a Complex Infrastructure Project
The battery storage park, with a total capacity of 65.3 MWh, is located in the immediate vicinity of a substation and is thus optimally integrated into the power grid. The system is currently already being used in electricity trading and is also intended for future energy sector applications such as the provision of balancing energy.
The project’s implementation required close coordination between project developers, grid operators, plant manufacturers, and technical service providers. TESVOLT was responsible, among other things, for:
SPIE Handles Installation and Construction Coordination
SPIE was a key partner in the project’s implementation. The company provided particular support with the structural and electrical engineering aspects of the battery park. SPIE’s responsibilities included, among other things:
Thanks to the collaboration between TESVOLT and SPIE, the complex infrastructure of the battery park was efficiently installed and commissioned.
Integration into the power grid
A key component of the project was grid connection planning. TESVOLT handled the technical design of the protection technology as well as the integration of the grid connection, including the EZA controller and system certification.
The TESVOLT Energy Controller Pro L battery park management system is used, enabling control of the system and communication with the grid operator.
Successful commissioning
After completion of the installation work, the battery storage park was extensively tested and commissioned. Among other things, capacity and performance tests were conducted to ensure the reliable operation of the system.
Today, the storage facility is already active in the electricity market and helps provide energy flexibly and support grid stability.
Battery Storage as the Key to the Energy Transition
Projects such as the storage park in Worms demonstrate how battery storage is increasingly becoming a central component of modern energy systems. It enables flexible use of electricity, better integration of renewable energy, and the generation of additional revenue on the energy market.
Through close collaboration between technology providers such as TESVOLT and infrastructure partners such as SPIE, such projects can be efficiently implemented and successfully commissioned.
