Daniel Kappelgaard, Co-founder and CEO at BattMan Energy says, "By implementing battery storage systems like these, we can ensure a stable and green power supply to Danish homes while contributing to the rapid transition toward renewable energy,” he says. “We are pleased to have chosen Hitachi Energy as a partner for these projects and look forward to working with them to achieve significant and tangible results within our vision of supporting a strong grid and a carbon neutral Denmark. Our goal is to be a pioneer in sustainable energy solutions and make a real difference in the renewable transition, and with these three projects we are well on our way."
He continues, “Together with Hitachi Energy, we have also begun the co-development of an approximately 500-MW/1.5-gigawatt-hour (GWh) BESS in Denmark, which will be a record-breaking project for us.”
Claus Madsen, Country Managing Director of Hitachi Energy in Denmark, sees great potential in the battery plants, and says, “Battery energy storage systems are absolutely central to the clean transition, the stabilization of the grid and are a large part of the future energy system. I am delighted to work with innovative and driven customers like BattMan Energy to support the widespread adoption of such advanced technologies at the edge of the grid.”
John Finney, Head of Grid Edge Solutions, adds, “Denmark is a clear leader in the energy transition, with a significant amount of generation coming from renewable sources, and storage added at the grid edge closer to where the power is consumed. As the traditional boundaries of the grid change, more energy management and optimization solutions are also needed. BattMan Energy is tapping into a unique and smart opportunity in the market, and we expect to see more of this type of model in Denmark and throughout Europe.”
Hitachi Energy acquired eks Energy, a leading supplier of power electronics and energy management solutions for storage and renewables integration, based in Seville, Spain. The complementary advantages of Hitachi Energy’s e-mesh™ BESS system integration capabilities, combined with acquired power conversion solutions (PCS) from eks Energy, are also evident in this BattMan Energy project.
