A review of the current status of energy storage in Finland and
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
Investments into co-located battery energy storage systems in Finland have, however, so far been hindered by the regulatory restrictions on connecting such hybrid projects to the national grid.
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.
Wind power generation is estimated to grow substantially in the future in Finland. Energy storage may provide the flexibility needed in the energy transition. Reserve markets are currently driving the demand for energy storage systems. Legislative changes have improved prospects for some energy storages.
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.
