POWERSTORE MikroMasch Powerstore for renewables microgeneration: scaling up the next generation battery technology for residential and commercial energy storage systems

Coordinator: MIKROMASCH EESTI OU (EE)

Currently, microgeneration is not an economical choice for most home- and business owners. Why? Because although the equipment costs are falling, the battery systems that are needed for using microgenerated power as the primary energy source offer only meager storage capacity at very high prices, leaving end consumers with 10+ years before their small scale wind stations or solar panels start to pay off.Energy storage systems (ESS) are the key enablers for adopting more renewables and demand-response grid solutions in the overall electricity supply mix. We are introducing the first ESS able t…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €1.3M toward a total project budget of €1.8M — a funding rate of 70%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 2 years from 2017-09-01 to 2019-08-31.
