The document discusses energy storage and renewable energy, presenting three case studies. It describes a 1MW/500kWh lithium-ion battery project in Italy. It also outlines the Triangulum project in Manchester, a smart energy grid demonstration project using various Siemens technologies like batteries and energy management systems. Finally, it discusses a green ammonia project in the UK, exploring using ammonia as an energy storage and transportation medium from renewable sources like wind.

Case study 2
Triangulum: A Landmark Project
Worth around £4.5million (EUR 6million)
Transforms the ‘Manchester Corridor’ into a ‘smart quarter’
Learnings will be used to develop smart quarters in other European cities
Employs latest energy management technologies
Autonomous energy grid demonstrates how the entire district could be supplied
with heat and electricity
Greater use of electric vehicles

Case study 3
Green Ammonia
• Programme based on NH3 as an energy (storage) vector. This includes a 3-year joint
project with Innovate UK for a demonstration system, which started in
January.
• Further programmes, around improved NH3 synthesis and NH3 combustion, will follow.
• Particular challenges in electrochemical ammonia synthesis, ammonia fuel cells
and ammonia storage for vehicles.
