Fluctuating renewable energy source are a challenge for the future energy supply. The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is researching storage solutions which enable the reliable provision of energy.
In the framework of the RedoxWind project, a large-scale redox-flow battery storage device will be developed and connected directly to the intermediate DC circuit of a wind turbine.
In »BeWiSer« Fraunhofer researchers are working on converting an existing steel mill to climate-neutral production methods. The aim is to produce steel by the direct reduction of iron ore with hydrogen, which would completely replace harmful coke.
The aim of the joint research project is to demonstrate the feasibility of dismantling of battery modules and e-drive units in an automated process and on an industrial scale, taking economic and regulatory conditions into account.
