Optimised use of the solar system on the building. Surplus electricity is stored at weekends and used for the building's air conditioning on weekdays
Technology in use
- High-capacity ice storage unit type sp.ICE 40'
- High-capacity ice storage unit type sp.ICE 10'
Performance data
- Storage capacity: 10 MWh
- Charging power 1.25 MW
- Charging time: 8 h
Client
Materna Information & Communications SE is a global IT service provider with more than 4,000 employees. Its headquarters are in Dortmund. Materna develops and distributes digitalisation solutions for public administrations, airports, medium-sized and large companies.
Scope of delivery and services
Design, manufacture and delivery of three ice storage modules for the air conditioning of an administration building
Purpose of the system
At weekends and on non-working days, the surplus solar power generated by the PV system is used to produce cooling. The cold is temporarily stored in the ice storage units and used to air-condition the offices on working days. This enables optimised use of the solar system with a low primary energy requirement for the building.
The challenge
Due to the limited space available at the installation site, a compact design of the storage system was required, while at the same time meeting high power requirements.
