E.ON - The future of energy supply starts on
an island; E.ON presents feasibility study for Pellworm
E.ON, Schleswig-Holstein Netz AG, Westcoast University
of Applied Sciences and Fraunhofer Anwendungszentrum Systemtechnik regard the
island of Pellworm as the ideal location for realising the energy world of the
future on a small, manageable scale. This is the result of a feasibility study
which found that Pellworm offers ideal conditions for acting as a pioneer in
the development of an integrated energy system. On the island there are already
a large number of renewable energy generation systems, which produce far more electricity
than the island needs, and a corresponding grid infrastructure.
The study shows that it is possible to largely use on
site the renewable energy produced on Pellworm and to transmit less electricity
to the mainland. A battery storage system and intelligent control technology
will supplement the E.ON hybrid power station already existing on Pellworm.
Together with the project partners, E.ON Hanse is now proceeding with
implementation planning and determining the elements needed for system development.
Subsequently the new technology will be installed. Pellworm is an important
E.ON project in the research and development sector.
