System integrator Energy SpA and its vertically integrated peer Pylon Technologies (Pylontech) have formed a joint venture (JV) to set up a gigafactory in Italy producing batteries for energy storage.

Which Italian company manufactures energy storage systems & batteries in-house?

“The transaction will position Energy as the only Italian company to manufacture the energy storage system and storage batteries in-house,” it said.

Does the Italian power sector need a decarbonization?

The analysis of the decarbonization of the Italian power sector shows that an important shift is needed from the current energy mix, which relies heavily on fossil fuel-based technologies, to an opposite configuration strongly based on renewable energy sources.

What is a simplified model of the Italian power sector?

A simplified model of the Italian power sector is implemented with only batteries as new energy storage option. Moreover, the model period is set from 2021 to 2040. These two simplifications have been made to limit the model's complexity and avoid excessive computational effort.

Are batteries and Hy-Drogen promoting a progressive decarbonization of the Italian power sector?

Both batteries and hydrogen are introduced as electrical energy storage systems. The role of VRES and storage facilities (batteries and hy-drogen) in promoting a progressive decarbonization of the Italian power sector is then explored from an economic and environmental perspective.

Do energy storage systems limit the oversizing of renewable technologies?

It is also highlighted the key role of energy storage systems in limiting the oversizing of the renewable technologies, as also observed by both Jafari et al. [ 20] and Marocco et al. [ 84 ]. Fig. 9.
