The innovative storage concept has a further decisive advantage. To be usable in the event of a replacement, a battery requires regular cyclising during its storage period, i.e. specific charging and discharging for the purpose of preservation. Otherwise it would suffer from deep discharging, which can lead to battery defects. In addition to the storage costs, the classic and potentially long-term storage of replacement batteries would therefore involve extremely high operating expenditure. The innovative approach adopted by the partner companies allows them to avoid this expenditure. The constantly fluctuating balancing power demand from the grid automatically ensures the required cyclising of the batteries. And the highly advanced battery management system employed by Daimler subsidiary ACCUMOTIVE ensures that the batteries are always in optimum condition in terms of temperature and charge level so that they meet the high standards required in terms of quality and service life. Rather than having an impact on the ageing process of the systems, this process has the effect of a fountain of youth. Significant contribution to the energy turnaround Electromobility plays an important part in achieving the CO2 targets in road transport and makes a major contribution to meeting the international climate protection targets. Here the Daimler AG understanding of sustainability goes way beyond the car product. The measures for environmentally sound and energy-efficient product design take into account the complete product life cycle – from development through production and product use to disposal and reprocessing. Here the efficient use of powerful batteries and their pooling is becoming an increasingly important aspect. With their concept, Daimler, subsidiary ACCUMOTIVE and enercity are creating a new win-win situation and are thus boosting the progress of the energy turnover in exemplary fashion. Daimler AG: systematic development of the stationary storage business Daimler entered the stationary battery storage business in 2015 with its subsidiary ACCUMOTIVE and has been developing its activities in this sector since then. The company offers attractive solutions for efficient energy storage, aimed at both industrial and private applications. Mercedes-Benz energy storage facilities for private households can be ordered now and will shortly be installed for customers in cooperation with selected sales partners such as energy service provider EnBW or SMA Solar Technology AG. Just a few weeks after the ground-breaking ceremony for the world's largest 2nd use battery storage facility in Lünen, Westphalia - a joint venture between partners Daimler AG, The Mobility House AG and GETEC - Daimler is taking a further step toward developing its industrial battery storage business together with subsidiary ACCUMOTIVE and partner enercity. To this end, there will be a total of around 29 MW on the grid after completion of the spare parts storage facility. Further major projects are scheduled to start in 2016. enercity (Stadtwerke Hannover AG): ready for the turnaround! With an annual turnover of around €2.4 billion, Stadtwerke Hannover AG is one of Germany's largest municipal energy suppliers. Under the umbrella brand 'enercity – positive energie' there is a wide range of products and energy-related services on offer from a one-stop shop, also for many municipal facilities in the region. In total, enercity supplies over 700,000 people with electricity, natural gas, district heating and drinkable water. With its contracting holdings, enercity is active throughout Germany and, since 2012, also abroad. The oldest enercity site in Hanover-Herrenhausen, where the first large power plant opened in 1902, is now a location for future projects. In addition to the joint battery storage project, the company implements further innovative projects at this site, such as a district thermal storage system, a combined heat and power plant, and the technical running of a virtual power plant.
