Eurowind Energy has commissioned a battery energy storage system at Teiuș with a power rating of 60 MW and an energy capacity of 120 MWh, developed for Teiuș Solar, an affiliate of the Danish group. The investment amounted to 21 million euros and received funding under Romania’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR).
The system is coupled with the Teiuș solar park and enables surplus electricity to be stored and delivered to the grid at a later stage. The 60 MW/120 MWh configuration provides two hours of storage at rated power and adds flexibility to the solar project by allowing electricity generation and delivery to the grid to be shifted in time.
Allview Energy, the energy division of Visual Fan, delivered the project on a full EPC basis, covering engineering, procurement, construction, installation, technical integration, testing and commissioning.
Storage complements solar generation
For Eurowind Energy, the project is intended to enable more flexible use of renewable generation and reduce the mismatch between when electricity is produced and when it is needed by the power system. “Storage helps balance the system, reduces pressure on the grid during peak hours and contributes to more stable prices,” said Adrian Dobre, Country Manager of Eurowind Energy Romania.
The commissioning of the Teiuș project adds operational storage capacity to a market where batteries are becoming increasingly important for integrating variable renewable generation. For a solar project, battery storage makes it possible to retain part of the electricity generated during periods of high output and use it later, depending on grid and market conditions.
The project was officially presented in Teiuș at an event organised by Eurowind Energy Romania together with the Embassy of the Kingdom of Denmark in Romania.
Allview extends its integration expertise into control software
Allview Energy is building on its experience in the engineering and integration of BESS projects to develop its own storage management solutions. The company has developed Allview Certus, an EMS/SCADA platform designed to monitor and control energy storage infrastructure.
According to the company, the platform is designed for interoperability with equipment from multiple vendors and includes real-time monitoring, protection functions and tools for tracking system performance.
For Allview Energy, Teiuș is a project in which the company covered the entire implementation process, from engineering through to commissioning. “It is an important moment for us to see a project that we built from the design stage through to commissioning become operational energy infrastructure,” said Lucian Peticilă, CEO of Visual Fan.
Eurowind Energy Romania has been active in the local market since 2011. The company currently reports 184 MW of operational capacity in Romania, including the 60 MW battery storage system at Teiuș, as well as a development pipeline of approximately 7.5 GW at various stages.
