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.

What is the storage capacity of water tank thermal energy storage in Finland?

Water TTESs found in Finland are listed in Table 7. The total storage capacity of the TTES in operation is about 11.4 GWh, and the storage capacity of the TTES under planning is about 4.2 GWh. Table 7. Water tank thermal energy storages in Finland. The Pori TTES will be used for both heat and cold storage.

What are some examples of GWh-scale borehole thermal energy storage 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.

How many cavern thermal energy storage facilities are there in Finland?

Cavern thermal energy storage In Finland, three CTES have been built, and at least four are being planned. These CTES are listed in Table 9. The combined storage capacity of the commissioned CTES is about 27.6 GWh, and those under construction and under planning have a storage capacity of about 112 GWh.
