Summit 2023
Innovative storage technology from Saxony
At the 8th ENERGY SAXONY SUMMIT on June 22, 2023 in the Alte Mensa in Freiberg, around 100 representatives from business, science and politics came together to exchange views on current research results and practical experience reports on the efficient use of battery and hydrogen energy storage and to network. Applications, production and recycling processes for battery technology and projects for the use of hydrogen as an energy storage medium were presented as part of the lecture program, in an accompanying exhibition and in guided practical tours. Both technologies were put to the test in terms of their practical suitability and sustainability aspects. Dr Dirk Orlamünder, Head of the “Digitalization, Mining and Market Regulation” department at the Saxon State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Transport, shed light on the current situation of the Saxon economy in the balancing act between the energy transition and security of supply. Energy Saxony also presented the new “Battery MD” project to secure skilled workers for the battery cell production value chain. You can download the presentations and event photos below.

Thematic introduction
Moritz Ullrich from inopitas GmbH shed light on the topic of battery and hydrogen energy storage at the ENERGY SAXONY #ENERGIETalk on 05.04.2023: Both technologies were examined on the basis of techno-economic criteria, but also macroscopic factors, and discussed in the context of various use cases in the mobility sector and decentralized energy supply. inopitas GmbH deals with strategic issues relating to the energy transition and supports companies and institutions, in particular those in the energy sector. from the energy and hydrogen industry, from analysis and conception to the successful implementation of projects. We have recorded the presentation for you.

STORAGE, TRANSPORT AND RECONVERSION OF HYDROGEN – EFFECTIVE AND AFFORDABLE
AMBARtec AG from Dresden offers its customers solutions for compact and long-term energy storage for transport, decentralized reconversion with combined heat and power generation and load management as well as for the mobility of tomorrow based on hydrogen. With the innovative HyCS® technology developed by AMBARtec, energy generated from renewable sources can be stored safely for long periods and transported from decentralized producers to decentralized users, even over long distances. This paves the way for sustainable system integration of renewable energies.
WITH WIND POWER TO GREEN HYDROGEN
For more than 25 years, JUWI has been one of the leading specialists for renewable energies and offers complete project development and other services relating to the planning, construction and operational management of renewable energy systems. The business areas primarily include projects with wind and solar energy as well as hybrid systems with storage for industrial applications. JUWI is planning a wind farm in the municipality of Förderstedt (town of Staßfurt) in Saxony-Anhalt and approval is expected shortly. This wind farm will generate electricity for the production of green hydrogen in order to link the mobility and heating sectors. The project is embedded in the ‘Staßfurt Energy Region’ and the ‘Salzlandkreis H2 Region’ and is being implemented in cooperation between the town of Staßfurt, Stadtwerke Staßfurt, Erdgas Mittelsachsen GmbH and MVV Umwelt GmbH. The Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Systems Magdeburg and the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation (IFF) Magdeburg are providing scientific support for the project. The project will be presented at SUMMITdigital on 10.05.2023.
Freiberg University of Mining and Technology
THE “DATA MINING LAB FREIBERG”
The TU Bergakademie Freiberg, the Fraunhofer Institutes for Ceramic Technologies and Systems and for Integrated Systems and Device Technology and the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology have been working together since 01.10.2021 in the project “Infrastructure to improve data availability for the digitalization of battery recycling” (InfraDatRec) As part of the ForBatt funding measure (expansion of the national research infrastructure in the field of battery materials and technologies), we are working on the development of a database for the system and life cycle analysis of batteries. The infrastructure is used to merge material and process data from individual sub-process steps in recycling and analyze it using artificial intelligence. Influences on recycling processes can thus be recorded and measures to increase efficiency can be derived. The InfraDatRec project initiated the
Data Mining Lab Freiberg
project will be an important institution for the transfer of innovation to industry with a continuously growing database. The project is being funded by the BMBF with 7.2 million euros until September 30, 2023.
Fraunhofer Institute for Transportation and Infrastructure Systems IVI
FIELD DATA-BASED BATTERY DIAGNOSIS AND SERVICE LIFE PREDICTION
Battery ageing depends heavily on the specific operation. “Usual” Approaches to battery diagnostics rely on test bench tests, which rarely reflect actual usage behavior and are therefore of limited validity. The Fraunhofer Institute for Transportation and Infrastructure Systems IVI is developing a method that analyzes and predicts aging based on field data. Specifically, this includes the application-specific investigation of capacity loss and resistance increase as well as the prediction of a battery’s end of life. The field data-based usage profile takes into account the boundary conditions exactly as they occur during everyday operation. In addition to analyzing a single vehicle, we extend our method by using field data from a fleet of vehicles with identical batteries.
Devertec GmbH
ADVANTAGES OF THE MATTER PROTOCOL FOR BATTERY STORAGE AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT IN THE HOME
Against the backdrop of rising energy prices and grid stability, it is particularly important that energy flows in particular can be used effectively. New standards are currently being established for the smart home and smart industry sectors that improve the interaction between many devices. deveritec GmbH stands for the development of innovative products on behalf of its customers, specializing in the Internet of Things. By implementing the new Matter standard, for example, the energy flows between all devices in the smart home can actually be controlled independently of the manufacturer for the first time.
