Energy Storage for Rome-Fiumicino Airport, Italy | Mercedes
Mercedes-Benz Energy provides a 6-string storage system, distributed across two containers (one 40-foot and one 20-foot), offering a total capacity of over 5.5 MWh. The system is built with
The energy container is located in a parking lot used by car rental companies on the east side of the airport. There, newly delivered rental cars will be charged using energy generated by three small wind turbines and photovoltaic panels.
Italy's largest energy storage system based on used batteries for electric vehicles was inaugurated on Tuesday at Rome's Fiumicino airport to help it reduce carbon emissions.
An innovative system for sustainable energy generation is currently in use at Munich Airport: a container with photovoltaic panels and wind rotors from FlowGen, a company specializing in green energy system solutions. In cooperation with Munich Airport, the mobile energy container is being used to charge electric vehicles.
Containerized Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are essentially large batteries housed within storage containers. These systems are designed to store energy from renewable sources or the grid and release it when required. This setup offers a modular and scalable solution to energy storage.
