Endesa, by means of its Enel Inexperienced Energy Spain unit, has commissioned an vitality storage system primarily based on vanadium redox circulation batteries on the Son Orlandis photo voltaic plant in Mallorca, Spain.
The 1.1 MW/5.5 MWh battery is the primary vitality storage plant that the corporate has in-built Spain with this expertise. It claimed that it’s the largest vanadium circulation battery to be paired with a PV plant in Europe.

The storage system is linked to a 3.34 MW photo voltaic plant. The system’s seize and discharge operations are optimized primarily based on renewable manufacturing and community wants, so demand peaks will be met.
The Son Orlandis battery system has been made in collaboration with Canadian producer Largo, which offered its Vcharge cooling system. The system’s electrolyte has an “infinite” helpful life and will be simply reused on the finish of its helpful life with out degrading and with no unfavorable impression on the atmosphere, mentioned Endesa.
Endesa gained 72.4 MW of photo voltaic capability within the newest renewable vitality auctions for the Balearic Islands. The Orlandis PV plant is among the awarded initiatives and was commissioned in 2022.
