(News Bulletin 247) – Siemens Smart Infrastructure, in partnership with Fluence, a market leader in energy storage created in 2018 by Siemens and AES, has completed and handed over a sustainable energy project on the island of Terceira, in the Azores , to the Portuguese energy supplier EDA (Electricidade dos Açores).
The project combines energy consumption and production forecasting software with a battery energy storage system and enables greater integration of renewable energy sources such as wind or solar power.
This combination should reduce CO2 emissions by more than 3,600 tonnes per year, the company announced.
“The Azores project shows how to steadily scale up renewables and integrate them into the power grid while reducing fossil fuel dependency and CO2 emissions,” said Sabine Erlinghagen, Managing Director of Siemens Grid Software.
“This project allows us to better cope with the instability caused by the fluctuation of renewable resources,” added Nuno Pimentel, Managing Director of EDA.
