BayWa r.e. has supplied Huawei energy storage systems installed by MES Energy S.A. in an energy storage project in Kilkis, contributing to the development of a more flexible and efficient energy model in which energy generation and storage operate in synergy.
MES Energy S.A. was responsible for the design, procurement, and installation of the project, which includes four Huawei LUNA2000-215-2S10 Smart String ESS energy storage systems with a total capacity of 860 kWh.
Energy storage technology for optimized energy management
The Huawei LUNA2000-215-2S10 Smart String ESS offers a capacity of 215 kWh per unit and can be expanded up to 20 systems. It also provides 100% depth of discharge (DoD), operation in extreme temperatures ranging from -30°C to +55°C, energy efficiency of 91.3%, and an expected lifetime of up to 15 years. In addition, it features a hybrid cooling system and advanced safety capabilities.
Significant energy and environmental benefits
Through the Huawei storage system, it is estimated that more than 200 MWh of clean energy per year will be managed and utilized within the installation, contributing to maximized self-consumption and the avoidance of losses caused by the mismatch between energy production and demand.
Key benefits of the project include:
- Optimization of energy self-consumption
- Reduction of energy costs through peak shaving applications
- Enhancement of energy autonomy and supply stability
- Improved load and consumption management
- Reduction of environmental footprint and strengthening of the installation’s sustainability
Contribution to sustainability and decarbonization goals
The integration of the storage system is expected to cover at least 30% of the installation’s total annual energy needs through stored energy, in addition to direct production from the photovoltaic system.
At the same time, the project significantly contributes to CO₂ emissions reduction and the achievement of the company’s ESG objectives, as well as national and European targets for industrial decarbonization by 2030.
