Since the beginning of February, PFISTERER’s CrossPower hybrid energy system has been providing a stable renewable energy supply in Lithuania in mobile use. With an official handover ceremony, the first plant in Marijampolé was handed over.
The intelligent energy management system balances the different power generation from wind turbines, solar cells and diesel generators and optimally matches them to the required consumption. As a result, fuel savings are up to 50 percent.

The first CrossPower plant was handed over to Lithuania at the beginning of February as part of the NATO Energy Security Centre of Excellence’s “Smart Energy” energy efficiency programme. This is a system with an output of around 150 kW (up to 2,500 kWh per day) and a storage capacity of 100 kWh. It consists of a control unit, powerful batteries, a wind turbine and solar panels as well as two diesel generators. All components can be transported in two 20-inch ISO containers for mobile use. For the first time, this will enable a reliable renewable energy supply in isolated energy grids, so-called microgrids, for example in remote regions, earthquake zones or refugee camps. Until now, diesel generators have been the only reliable source of energy here. However, supplying remote areas with fossil fuels is a costly and risky challenge.
