The storage of electricity will play a major role in future mains power supply as the percentage of renewable energy continues to increase.
In the context of quick charging stations for battery-powered vehicles, battery storage can be used to reduce high peaks that strain the power grid during charging and therefore avoid expensive grid expansion.
HYDAC is at hand here to fluid-cool battery modules and associated frequency converters needed for grid connection.
The fluid power company supplies compressor cooling systems (chillers) and fluid/air cooling systems, plate heat exchangers, and liquid cold plates.

Background
To rapidly balance out power generation and power consumption (grid stabilisation), battery storage is increasingly being used.
Power plant operators can, for example, use storage for grid stabilisation and at the same time run their power plants more smoothly.
Industrial companies can use the system to provide uninterrupted power supply, increase their internal consumption from installed photovoltaic plants, and smooth out load peaks (peak shaving) in order to lower electricity supply costs.
