Mit Erneuerbaren Energien wächst die Anzahl dezentraler Stromerzeugungsanlagen und an Energiespeichern. Sie können netzdienlich Strom einspeisen oder auch in kleinen Einheiten als Microgrids zusammengefasst werden. Solche Inselnetze können unabhängig vom Stromnetz die Energieversorgung in Wohnquartieren, Dörfern oder Stadtbezirken sichern. [pdf]

Battery Charts is a development of Jan Figgener, Christopher Hecht, and Prof. Dirk Uwe Sauer from the Institutes ISEA and PGS at RWTH Aachen University. With this website, we offer an automated evaluation of battery storage from the public database (MaStR) of the German Federal Network Agency. For simplicity, we divide the battery storage market into home storage (up to 30 kilowatt hours), industrial storage (30 to 1,000 kilowatt hours), and large-scale storage (1,000 kilowatt hours and above).

At 140 terawatt hours, more renewable electricity was generated in Germany in the first half of 2024 than ever before, accounting for 65% of net public electricity generation. Generation from fossil fuels continues to decline as do the electricity prices on the exchange. These are the findings of the half-year data on net public electricity generation presented today by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE. The analysis is based on the data platform energy-charts.info. [pdf]
