ENERGY STORAGE. Swiss energy storage provider Lynus is launching production of battery systems in Dillingen. The systems are expected to achieve a DC efficiency of at least 94 percent.

By establishing its own production facility in Bavaria, Lynus aims to focus more strongly on the German market. In Dillingen an der Donau, about 50 kilometers northwest of Augsburg, the Swiss company will manufacture modular battery storage systems in the future.

Lynus AG is headquartered in Tuggen in the Swiss canton of Schwyz and develops hardware and software for battery storage systems, as well as their control and marketing. Its German subsidiary, Lynus Deutschland GmbH, is based in Dillingen. The company also maintains development facilities in Müstair, Switzerland.

Lynus cites the varying requirements of grid operators as one of the reasons for establishing production in Germany. Grid connection concepts can differ depending on the voltage level, existing infrastructure, and grid area. By manufacturing in-house, the company aims to be able to adapt the storage systems more quickly to project-specific requirements.

For the storage systems to be manufactured in Dillingen, Lynus relies on lithium iron phosphate cells. According to the company, the battery cells are designed for more than 8,000 full cycles and are expected to retain 80 percent of their original capacity even after that. The efficiency of the storage system at the direct current level is at least 94 percent. This means that during a complete charge and discharge cycle, no more than six percent of the energy is lost.

According to Lynus, the individual storage units have a capacity of approximately 800 kWh. They can be interconnected to form larger systems. Depending on the model, the charging and discharging power can reach up to 500 kW. Lynus offers the storage systems for voltage levels of 400, 690, and 800 volts.

In developing the storage system, the manufacturer has placed a strong emphasis on integration with photovoltaic systems. The system can be integrated on both the direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) sides. In new solar farms, the storage system can be connected on the DC side via so-called maximum power point tracking (MPPT) modules. According to Lynus, additional inverters between the solar system and the storage system are then not required. This helps reduce conversion losses. The AC version, on the other hand, is aimed specifically at operators who want to add storage to existing systems.

In addition to the storage hardware, Lynus has developed its own energy management system (EMS). The software controls energy flows and is designed to utilize storage for multiple applications depending on the specific use case. According to the company, the machine-learning-based system is already in use in more than 1,500 installations in Germany and Switzerland. Lynus also links the control system to the trading of electricity and storage flexibility on various electricity markets. (ds)
