The ENERTRAG Verbundkraftwerk® Uckermark
By hybridizing wind and solar energy and converting renewable energy into storable energy sources, the ENERTRAG combined power plant in Uckermark is able to supply renewable energy predictably and in line with demand and stabilize the electricity grid.
ENERTRAG’s Uckermark Verbundkraftwerk generates wind-based and solar electricity, green hydrogen, and heat. Hydrogen reconversion and battery storage systems also stabilise the electricity grid. This combination enables ENERTRAG to supply renewable energy predictably and in line with demand, just like conventional power plants do. The Verbundkraftwerk can replace these completely. It is a blueprint for modern CO₂ free power plants.
The hydrogen is fed into the public H₂ grid and, in turn, supplies areas and buildings in the region with heat. Coupling electricity from wind and solar power with green hydrogen production and the supply of heat enables the provision of predictable output in the gigawatt range. The Verbundkraftwerk provides all the key energy system functions required to do so and guarantees grid stability. A pioneer supplying fossil-free energy. Worldwide.
Since the first wind farm in 1998 and the construction of the world’s first hybrid power plant in Uckermark in 2011, ENERTRAG has gained valuable experience in supplying energy from renewables reliable. Countries and regions worldwide are already reaping the benefits because the Verbundkraftwerk can be implemented globally.
The control room constantly monitors operation of the whole Verbundkraftwerk and its components, energy generation, conversion, distribution, and connection to the grid. ENERTRAG’s own PowerSystem software is responsible for monitoring and analysing incoming information.
