Europe’s Largest Battery Helps Stabilize the Grid

A 48 MW battery is scheduled to go online in Jardelund, Germany at the end of 2017. Its primary function is to provide reserve capacity for grid stabilization. Once it is operational it will be Europe’s largest battery energy storage system (BESS).

Mitsubishi Electric has developed a new air quality sensor that is the first of its sort to be able to detect not only pollen and dust, but also extremely fine particulate matter just 2.5 µm in diameter (designated as PM2.5). Airborne PM2.5 particles cause serious pollution and health issues, particularly in China, India and Japan.
