The storage facility on the campus of the Technical University of Munich in Garching was officially inaugurated in 2016 as Smart Power GmbH’s first major project. Originally conceived exclusively as a PRL storage system, this project has since become a reflection of the dynamic development of grid-serving business models at Smart Power GmbH. It was retrofitted in order to test a hybrid concept consisting of new batteries and a 2nd-use battery system developed in-house. It also currently serves as a real laboratory for various innovative marketing concepts such as PRL and intraday trading. Fire protection concepts have even been developed and tested for practical relevance at this storage facility together with the specialist departments of Munich’s professional fire department.
