Berlin Energy Storage Distribution Station

What makes up Berlin's distribution grid?

Berlin's distribution grid is made up of sub-grids at high voltage (110 kV), medium voltage (10 kV), and low voltage (0.4 kV). These sub-grids are linked to the upstream transmission grid via substations (380 kV).

How many substations and grid nodes are there in Berlin?

This takes around 36,000 kilometres of cable across all voltage levels, ca. 88 substations and grid nodes, and several thousand grid stations in Berlin. Depending on the energy that they generate and your energy requirements, the generation and customer plants are connected at the best voltage level for you.

What does Stromnetz Berlin operate?

Stromnetz Berlin reliably operates Berlin's electricity distribution grid. The operations management concept is an investment in the future of smart solutions for our customers. Increased expansion of decentralized generation assets and the infrastructure for electric mobility in the low-voltage grid increases the demands on the electricity grid.

How is electricity supplied in Berlin?

Berlin's urban area is supplied with electricity via approx. 900 km of high voltage cable, 10,900 km of medium voltage cable and 23,900 km of low voltage cable. We use this extensive network to ensure that every part of Berlin has a secure energy supply.

Can electricity storage help a low-voltage distribution grid?

In specific cases, storage that is used to support a grid can help to avoid grid expansion in the low-voltage distribution grid. The regulatory framework should enable such cost-eficient decisions. 1. The expansion of renewable energies does not have to wait for electricity storage.

What is the total length of cables in Berlin's distribution grid?

Berlin's distribution grid consists of approx. 900 km of high voltage cable, 10,900 km of medium voltage cable and 23,900 km of low voltage cable, totaling to around 35,700 km of cables.
