MuBatt focuses on the question of how stationary battery storage systems can perform various tasks simultaneously in multi-use operation, such as grid stabilisation, self-consumption optimisation and load shifting. In this way, they make an important contribution to the energy transition and climate protection because they help to integrate more renewable energies into the energy system.
A special feature is its practical relevance: the concepts developed are not only simulated theoretically, but also tested and validated on a real storage system in Homburg. The results can thus be made directly available to local authorities, grid operators and companies.
Economics Minister Jürgen Barke: "The energy transition needs more than new plants – it needs intelligence in the system. The MuBatt project shows how battery storage systems can become real system players: flexible, efficient and economical. This not only strengthens climate protection, but also the innovative power of our location."
University President Prof. Ludger Santen adds: "The share of renewable energies has been increasing for years. But one challenge remains: wind and sun do not produce electricity evenly. This is where battery storage comes into play as the key to a successful energy transition, and thus the MuBatt project. In this way, Saarland University can contribute to the sustainable energy supply of the future."
Project manager Prof. Georg Frey emphasises: "The funding enables us to expand our expertise in this important field. The results are directly applicable and also help us to acquire follow-up projects at national and international level."
