Advanced Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage

› ADELE-ING, 2nd phase of development› DLR, RWE, Züblin, GE Global Research,

research institutes› Challenging R&D: heat storage under pressure› Additional R&D demand: compressor, expander› More than 10 plant configurations with different

degree of being adiabatic under investigation› Multi-criteria approach› Early market entry is expected with partly –

adiabatic, decentralised plants› Focus: daily charge and discharge, service for

distribution grids (not transport grids)

Efficient Methanation- and Biogas Technology - WOMBAT

› World´s first power-to-gas plant in industrial scale› 3 alkaline electrolysers by McPhy at 2 MW each› Partners: Audi, ETOGAS, EWE Vertrieb, ZSW, Fraunhofer IWES› Focus of the funded project: synergies between electrolysis & methanation

with the production reactor for bio-methane (EWE)› Heat management: waste heat of PtG-plant is used to disinfect bio waste

and to heat bio-reactor› Challenge: intermittent operation of PtG-plant faces continuous heat demand

of biogas-production› Product: CNG for vehicles (Audi)› Vehicle approach could provide an early economic perspective
