AREVA and Schneider Electric sign an R&D cooperation agreement in energy storage

By Nic Sharpley | October 6, 2014

The storage technology is said to provide the flexibility and stability needed to facilitate renewable integration.

The storage technology is said to provide the flexibility and stability needed to facilitate renewable integration.

AREVA and Schneider Electric have signed an R&D agreement to develop a new energy storage solution called the flow battery in order to produce and store electricity by combining hydrobromic acid and hydrogen.

Funded by the European Union*, the project aims to optimize the existing 50 kW flow battery prototype designed by EnStorage** to a 150 kW demonstration module. Under the cooperation agreement, both companies will test the flow battery technology under real conditions. The aim is to deliver a competitive and highly efficient solution for the integration of renewable energies.

AREVA will lead the project, manufacturing, integrating and installing the storage solution while Schneider Electric will design, manufacture and install the complementary power conversion system.

In February 2014, AREVA and Schneider Electric signed a strategic partnership agreement to market energy management and storage solutions based on hydrogen production and fuel cell technology with AREVA’s Greenergy Box.

*As part of the KIC InnoEnergy FlowBox project to develop new technologies for sustainable energy
** EnStorage develops large scale energy storage solutions based on flow battery technology.
