Rolls-Royce improves efficiency and carbon footprint of industrial laundry’s energy system with mtu microgrid
Rolls-Royce supplies almost self-sufficient energy system with mtu battery container and automation system
Up to 60 tons of clean laundry a day with power and heat thanks to mtu energy solution
Rolls-Royce has received an order from the Abel industrial laundry in Anger, southern Germany, to design and install a microgrid to provide its own power and heat supply. The existing mtu gas genset and photovoltaic system will be supplemented by an mtu EnergyPack QS battery container and the mtu EnergetIQ Plant Manager automation system at the beginning of 2024. The family run company can wash up to 60 tonnes of laundry every day.

mtu microgrid improves efficiency, reliability, CO2 balance and energy supply costs
By integrating the new components into the existing energy system and intelligently controlling the entire microgrid, the efficiency, reliability, carbon footprint and costs of the laundry's energy supply will be significantly improved. With a capacity of 60 tons of laundry per day, these are significant measures in terms of efficiency and sustainability. “It is a highlight project for us to be able to supply this sustainable energy solution for this exemplary company. We are particularly pleased that our long-standing customer, the Abel laundry, trusts in our expertise and is working with us to develop its energy supply into a highly innovative system in line with its growing needs,” explained Andreas Görtz, President of the Sustainable Power Solutions division at Rolls-Royce Power Systems
