The energy revolution poses major challenges for power grids in particular. With ever increasing feed-in of volatile renewable generation plants and growing electrical consumption, flexibility in the system must be significantly increased. Storage can play a key role in this.

Large-scale storage systems have enormous potential for the distribution network, but also for electricity suppliers. Project developers such as Kyon Energy Solutions from Munich are making use of them, but are pushing for the removal of regulatory hurdles.

A lack of storage is becoming a bottleneck in the power grid. This costs customers a lot of money — and jeopardizes network stability.
