Regional imbalances between electricity generation and consumption can be a major burden to the grid. In the northern and rural regions of Upper Austria, a lot of solar power is generated by local farmers and private houses, which puts a strain on existing power lines.
In cooperation with a major energy company in Upper Austria, an xelectrix Power XPB-BASIC has now been put into operation to service areas around Windhaag. During public power demand times positive power is taken from the Power Box, but if there is a surplus, power is stored (negative control energy). The ability of network stabilization using the XPB system ensures a secure and higher quality power supply.
