4 FAQs about Helsinki distributed energy storage

Can energy storage projects help balance the energy system?

Thus, although these projects would store energy in the form of hydrogen and its derivatives and could help balance the energy system by absorbing excess energy from VRES and providing DR services, they cannot be considered as energy storage projects as the end use of the products is not in the energy sector.

Will a CTEs be built in Helsinki?

A CTES is planned to be constructed in Kruunuvuorenranta in Helsinki out of two caverns that were previously used to store diesel oil and oil products. The cavern storage would be a seasonal storage, operating with a rather different range and principle from the currently installed CTES in Finland.

Are high Vres shares possible in the Finnish energy system?

In conclusion, these studies indicate that high VRES shares in the Finnish energy system are possible, but require measures such as energy storage and demand response for their successful integration. 3.

Are energy storage systems growing?

There has especially been growth in utility-scale battery energy storage systems, with about 0.2 GWh currently in operation and a further 0.4 GWh planned. A similar growth in thermal energy storage systems, with about 39 GWh in operation and a further 176 GWh under planning, has been reported.
