A large heat storage facility with a capacity of 56 000m³ is currently being built in Berlin-Spandau. This is to be connected to the Berlin district heating network by the end of 2022. UNI-METALTEK Service GmbH has been commissioned to integrate the process technology of this heat storage facility into the existing power plant facilities. High-performance pumps and pipelines, together with intelligent control technology, ensure efficient use of the regeneratively generated heat. UNI-METALTEK is thus supporting the city of Berlin's plans to operate in a climate-neutral manner by 2050.
In the coming year, all other components and pipelines will be constructed. The plant's heat storage tank will hold up to 56 million litres of water. In the future, the 120 MWth high-performance system will be able to cover 10% of Berlin's total energy demand with renewable energy. The connected district heating network will heat more than 30,000 flats. UNI-METALTEK Service GmbH offers comprehensive services for energy technology as well as oil, gas and water supply.
