 November 15, 2023 | The next milestone for the “Buffered-HLL” pilot project, buffered high-power charging for electric public transport buses, has been reached at Bensheim railway station in Hesse: Following the completion of construction and initial successful tests, the storage and charging system for electric public transport buses will now be officially put into operation...

October 24, 2023 | Electric vehicles not only draw electricity from the grid, they can also help make more electricity from renewable energies usable. They serve as rolling storage units and offer high potential for load-side flexibility through grid-serving charging. In order to make optimal use of this, the Reiner Lemoine Institut (RLI) has developed...

October 18th, 2023 | Hydrogen should be produced primarily when a lot of green electricity is available in order to avoid additional CO2 emissions in the electricity system. H2 quantities produced in this way can be used flexibly over time in sensible areas of application. A consistent expansion of renewable energies is crucial for a...
