Stationary battery storage systems project planning and business models - Kyon Energy
Kyon Energy develops and operates large-scale battery storage technologies to support the energy transition. The company offers comprehensive services, from site development to turnkey commissioning of storage solutions. With projects that enable an independent and sustainable energy supply, Kyon Energy makes a significant contribution to improving grid stability and energy efficiency. Its aim is to ensure a reliable and environmentally friendly energy supply through innovative storage solutions.
Kyon Energy: Innovation in the development of battery storage solutions
Kyon Energy is a Munich-based company that specializes in the project development of stationary battery storage systems. Founded three years ago, the start-up focuses on greenfield development with a focus on securing land, grid connection and building rights development. With the goal of realizing up to seven gigawatts of battery storage systems, Kyon Energy is actively contributing to the energy transition in Germany. The systems offer solutions for a variety of challenges in the power grid, including grid stabilization and energy trading, and support the integration of renewable energies into the German power grid.
Battery storage as the key to grid stability and energy trading
Stationary battery storage systems play a crucial role in stabilizing the electricity grid. They buffer surplus energy, especially when photovoltaic systems generate more electricity than can be consumed. In addition to frequency regulation and the provision of control power, the storage systems also offer a platform for energy trading. Kyon Energy develops projects that both ensure grid stability and exploit market opportunities by storing surplus energy when prices are low and feeding it back into the grid when prices are high.
Short-term storage and economic use
Kyon Energy's systems are primarily designed for short-term storage requirements, which typically occur over a period of one to four hours. Such storage systems are crucial for balancing day and night consumption or for short-term weather changes. The use of battery storage systems over longer periods is technically possible, but less profitable from an economic point of view. However, thanks to stable and durable battery cells, the systems can be operated for many years and used cyclically several times a day. This not only enables efficient grid stabilization, but also participation in energy markets, which can generate additional income.
Battery storage as a market participant
A central element of Kyon Energy's business model is the active participation of the storage systems on the electricity exchange. Here, the systems act as market instruments that react to price signals: Energy is stored when prices are low and fed into the grid when prices are high. In addition, the storage systems also provide system services for the grid operators. Through this dual function - stabilization and energy trading - Kyon Energy maximizes the profitability of its battery storage projects and at the same time contributes to the reliable integration of renewable energies into the power grid.
