PLAN-B NET ZERO Presents Innovative Concept for Resilient Energy Supply in the DACH Region
Wiener Neustadt / Zug – At the D-A-CH Hydrogen Symposium on Thursday, October 2nd, 2025, the Swiss GreenTech company PLAN-B NET ZERO AG, along with its subsidiary PLAN-B NET ZERO BESS GmbH, unveiled its revolutionary concept for enhancing energy resilience in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland).
The concept incorporates Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), green hydrogen, and artificial intelligence (AI) to create a flexible and intelligent energy ecosystem, aimed at stabilizing power grids and strengthening supply security.
Resilience as a Priority in the Energy Transition
The power grids in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland are facing significant challenges as a result of increasing volatility in production from wind and solar, slow grid expansion, and extreme weather conditions. In light of these conditions, traditional grid planning is no longer sufficient.
According to Tjark Connor Hennings-Huep, battery systems expert at PLAN-B NET ZERO, “We need intelligent, decentralized systems that can autonomously respond to fluctuations.”
The new concept presented by PLAN-B NET ZERO combines battery storage for short-term balancing with hydrogen technologies for seasonal energy storage. The combination of these technologies at the operational level creates technical synergies, leading to improved efficiency, profitability, and system resilience.
Additionally, AI-based forecasting and control algorithms dynamically balance generation, storage, and consumption in real-time, further enhancing the integrated system.
BESS and Hydrogen – Partners for Stability
PLAN-B NET ZERO views BESS and hydrogen as complementary components of a resilient energy system, rather than competitors. BESS can respond within milliseconds to grid fluctuations and absorb short-term surpluses or deficits. On the other hand, green hydrogen enables long-term storage of large volumes that can be later reconverted via fuel cells or hydrogen turbines.
“Together, these technologies form the bridge to a robust, fully renewable energy system, providing additional flexibility and control parameters when combined,” added Hennings-Huep.
Regional Energy Hubs as Blueprints
PLAN-B NET ZERO is actively developing regional energy hubs that connect photovoltaic generation, battery storage, and electrolyzers in an intelligent manner. Surplus renewable energy is converted into hydrogen locally, stored, and reused as needed.
Currently, the company is working on a pipeline of approximately 1.3 GWh of stand-alone BESS projects, with potential coupling to hydrogen systems under evaluation. AI-driven energy management systems ensure seamless coordination between all components. Predictive models for weather, prices, and grid load automatically control charging, discharging, and electrolysis processes, increasing energy yield, lowering costs, and enhancing system efficiency.
Conclusion
By integrating BESS, hydrogen, and AI, PLAN-B NET ZERO aims to create a resilient and climate-neutral energy supply for the DACH region.
“Our goal is an energy system that is self-stabilizing, digital, decentralized, and decarbonized,” summarized Hennings-Huep during the presentation in Wiener Neustadt.
