CyberGrid GmbH was named as finalist of the The smarter E AWARD 2025 in the Category "Oustanding Projects" for the application Theiß Hybrid Storage System.
This project is an excellent example of how implementing renewable energy-based sector coupling can be achieved in a municipal environment. The hybrid power plant consists of a thermal large-scale storage system with an energy capacity of 5 MWh, and an electric storage system with an output of 5 MW and an energy content of 6 MWh. To lessen the impact of overcapacities in renewable energy generation, photovoltaic electricity can be stored in batteries or used to heat water, which is then fed into the Lower Austrian district heating network. The thermal large-scale storage system has a capacity of 50,000 m³, making it Austria’s largest district heating storage system. The battery storage system keeps the grid stable by balancing out fluctuating generation from renewable sources of energy. If there is excess energy in the power grid, an electric heating system is activated. If demand is higher than generation, energy is drawn from this system. If heating demand is lower, energy is temporarily stored in the district heating storage system.
