Descripción del proyecto
Innovación para la integración de almacenamiento de energía para renovables
La búsqueda de sistemas de almacenamiento de energía competitivos guarda relación con la transición hacia tecnologías de energía renovable. La batería de flujo redox totalmente de cobre (CuRFB), basada en tecnología RFB, está diseñada de un modo sencillo, modular y ampliable y ofrece seguridad y sostenibilidad. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos CUBER demostrará que la tecnología RFB puede integrarse en segmentos de mercado de autoconsumo residenciales y en ciudades inteligentes. Su desarrollo podría ampliar su empleo en aplicaciones como los sistemas de respaldo eléctrico en zonas aisladas, la gestión de energía y el equilibrio de la red en centrales de energía renovable. El proyecto coordina una amplia gama de actores europeos con la intención de ejecutar estudios pilotos que confirmen y presenten métodos innovadores con los que producir y consumir energías renovables en emplazamientos urbanos, rurales e industriales.
Objetivo
The CuBER project proposes the validation of a promising RFB technology, the all-copper redox flow battery (CuRFB), able to cover a wide range of the aforementioned market applications due to its simple, modular and scalable design, security and sustainability. Firstly, a 5kWDC CuRFB pilot will be designed for its integration in Smart Cities and residential self-consumption market segments within the CuBER action. Subsequently, the planning of further developments will allow its application at larger scales, both as back-up power system in isolated areas (i.e. copper mining) and for energy management and grid balancing in renewable power production.
CuBER thus focuses first on improving the infrastructures for renewables self-consumption and grid integration within the Smart Cities and Net Zero Buildings concepts. It seeks to unify the expertise of different European actors in the field of Electrochemistry, Electrochemical Energy Storage, Electronics, Process Engineering, Smart Sensors, IoT´s and Solar Power Industries with the objective of deploying functional pilots capable of validating an holistic and innovative way of producing and consuming renewable energy in urban, rural and industrial areas all around the EU, that will change the actual O&M paradigm, increasing significantly the competitiveness of RFB energy storage solutions in the global energy sector and creating new business opportunities for the companies involved.
