Wind and solar power alone can meet the energy needs of a whole region

Smart Region Pellworm research project confirms technical feasibility
Smart grids can link renewable energy sources and battery storage systems to provide a secure and stable power supply to a region based on wind and solar energy alone, also for the long term. This is the result of the first phase of the Smart Region Pellworm research project in which E.ON teamed up with his grid operator Schleswig-Holstein Netz AG, the two Fraunhofer institutes IOSB-AST and UMSICHT, the power systems manufacturer Gustav Klein GmbH & Co. …
