Where Is the Helsinki Shared Energy Storage Power Station Key
Summary: The Helsinki Shared Energy Storage Power Station represents a breakthrough in urban renewable energy integration. Located in the Finnish capital, this facility supports grid
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.
Examples of larger GWh-scale borehole thermal energy storages built in Finland include one built at a logistics center in Sipoo and an underground parking lot in Turku . Normally, the depth of the boreholes for ground-source heating and in borehole thermal energy storages is a few hundred meters at most.
The Finnish TSO, Fingrid, is continuously taking measures to respond to the fast-growing number of renewable installations. The power system is getting more complicated both from a technical and commercial perspective, with many large changes occurring simultaneously both in electricity production and consumption.
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.
