In the event of a power outage, it forms a stand-alone grid within fractions of a second. In doing so, it supplies the connected loads with fully renewable energy from PV systems and biomass and CHP plants without any interruptions.<br \/>\nIn a research project at the end of 2019, the public utility company Versorgungsbetriebe Bordesholm and TH K\u00f6ln, University of Applied Sciences in Germany, simulated a large-scale power outage. They disconnected Bordesholm from the European utility grid for one hour via the synchronous tie breaker. Best of all, the 8,000 residents of Bordesholm did not even notice it. All households, businesses and institutions were still supplied with electricity without any interruptions. It no longer came from the European utility grid but within the Bordesholm stand-alone grid \u2014 100 percent from renewable energies.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>\u201cWith the SMA Energy System Large Scale, we are proving that it is possible to run a public electricity grid on fully renewable energy and maintain stable frequencies.
