Is energy storage a viable option in Finland?
This study reviews the status and prospects for energy storage activities in Finland. The adequacy of the reserve market products and balancing capacity in the Finnish energy system are also studied and discussed. The review shows that in recent years, there has been a notable increase in the deployment of energy storage solutions.
Which energy storage technologies are being commissioned in Finland?
Currently, utility-scale energy storage technologies that have been commissioned in Finland are limited to BESS (lithium-ion batteries) and TES, mainly TTES and Cavern Thermal Energy Storages (CTES) connected to DH systems.
How does renewables Finland track the development of solar power in Finland?
Renewables Finland currently maintains three up-to-date lists and statistics that track the development of solar power in Finland. The first is an annual statistic covering operational solar power projects, while the second lists projects under construction and third lists .
Is the energy system still working in Finland?
However, the energy system is still producing electricity to the national grid and DH to the Lempäälä area, while the BESSs participate in Fingrid's market for balancing the grid . Like the energy storage market, legislation related to energy storage is still developing in Finland.
What factors influence the development of energy storage activities in Finland?
Several parameters are influencing the development of energy storage activities in Finland, including increased VRES production capacities, prospects to import/export electricity, investment aid, legislation, the electricity and reserve markets and geographic circumstances.
What is the electricity supply in Finland in ?
The electricity supply in Finland is quite diverse. As presented in Fig. 1, the Finnish electricity supply in consisted of nuclear power (29.7 %, 24.2 TWh), different types of thermal power plants (24 %, 19.6 TWh), imports (15.3 %, 12.5 TWh), hydropower (16.3 %, 13.3 TWh), wind power (14.2 %, 11.6 TWh), and solar power (0.5 %, 0.4 TWh).
The status of these energy storage technologies in Finland will be discussed in more detail in the next sub-sections, giving a better understanding of the current and potential role of these energy storage technologies in the Finnish energy system.
