ASFINAG battery storage

In Austria, SPIE is supporting the development of an electricityautonomous transportation landscape by implementing two 36-tonne battery storage systems.

Austrian transport infrastructure company ASFINAG aims to become completely independent in terms of its electricity supply by 2030. To accomplish this, it needs to reduce its energy consumption by 20% and expand its own production of green electricity through photovoltaics. In order to ensure that energy generated on sunny days can also be used on cloudy and rainy days, ASFINAG needed reliable battery storage facilities. SPIE supported ASFINAG’s objectives, building two energy storage facilities near the S1 expressway on the outer ring road of Vienna (Austria). Each has a 2,500 kWh capacity and an inverter output of 1.3 MW. SPIE’s experts provided single-source support from purchasing to installation, which included associated inverters, a transformer station, an energy management system, fibre optic cables, and IT integration.
