In northern Finland, less than 100 kilometres south of the Arctic Circle, a new battery storage facility is now supporting the stability of the regional power grid. The plant, equipped with 26 PowerTitan 1.0 containers from Sungrow, delivers 30 MW of output and 60 MWh of storage capacity. As wind and solar energy play an increasing role in the grid mix, the system helps maintain reliability – even under extreme climatic conditions.
Pre-assembled complete solution for harsh environments
The PowerTitan 1.0 is a liquid-cooled battery storage system in a 20-foot container that has been specially developed for large-scale applications such as solar and wind farms, grid stabilisation and other large-scale energy storage projects. Thanks to its compact and efficient design, the system can be delivered pre-assembled in standard containers and installed quickly on site without any loss of performance.
Solar Investors Guide #4: Long-term storage with iron flow technology
The durable and safe lithium iron phosphate batteries with liquid cooling ensure a long service life and low maintenance. Less work, high safety and increased efficiency – all of these are particularly advantageous in regions with harsh environmental conditions.
Long-term reliability crucial
“There were two main reasons for our decision to work with Sungrow,” explains Hannu Koivusalo, Chairman of AmpTank. “Firstly, we were impressed by the technical performance – the systems are completely stable under all environmental conditions. The second decisive factor was long-term reliability: Sungrow put together a very competitive package for maintenance, service and other support.”
New report: “EU energy storage action plan needed”
The project in Simo is a prime example of how the current transition to a greener energy supply can be achieved in Finland: through the intelligent combination of renewable energy sources with powerful storage solutions. The result is a clean, stable and future-proof power grid. (hcn)
