2nd Life for Power Plants
Abbreviated project name (anronym)
2LIPP
Scalable Hybrid Storage System
Yesterday’s fossil fuel power plants can play a key role in tomorrow’s green transition.
In the 2LIPP project, Gdańsk University of Technology participates in demonstrating a scalable and hybrid energy storage system that combines the cutting-edge energy storage technologies side-by-side an innovative energy management system implemented in operating combined heat and power plant. The purpose is to showcase a unique solution utilizing existing plant infrastructure, thereby achieving lower costs to deploy energy storage.
The 2LIPP hybrid energy storage combines three storage technologies with low-material costs: a first-of-a-kind high-temperature hydroxide salt thermal energy storage – enabling reuse of turbines at power plants, an electrical battery storage based on retired automotive batteries and a high-tech carbon fibre-based flywheel which will deliver short-duration energy storage.
In 2LIPP project Gdańsk University of Technology has the primary responsibility for developing simulation models for individual plants within the project and other generic plants based on the size or fuel type, both before and after retrofitting with 2LIPP storage technologies. Another major objective involves implementing the innovative 2LIPP retrofit concept in utilities in Poland and Germany by creating an investment decision tool. This tool will guide investors in determining the feasibility and optimal approach for retrofitting their facilities
