Vihreä Watti Energy Storage Solutions

Optimising the production of renewable energy requires advanced solutions that allow for a steady use of energy in the company's own operations. In this way, peak energy consumption is balanced and excess energy can be used for sales purposes. This not only improves energy efficiency, but also creates new revenue opportunities. It also opens up opportunities to participate in the frequency regulation of the electricity grid on the frequency reserve market, offering companies a new business model. Vihreä Watti is here to help companies find innovative solutions to support the development of new business in the energy sector.

Energy storage allows us to increase the stability of the electricity grid, improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. We offer modular and scalable energy storage solutions for different applications, both as customised and standard products. Our partners are world-leading manufacturers who operate sustainably and responsibly.

Battery Storage and Intelligent Energy Infrastructure

Energy storage systems using Vihreä Watti battery technology are a key part of smart and distributed energy infrastructures. Battery storage has become an essential part of the renewable energy product portfolio and is needed to support the increasing and variable renewable energy generation to maintain the balance of the electricity system.

Demand Response and the Reserve Market

Demand response means adjusting consumption to the supply of electricity, which helps to balance the grid and reduce consumption peaks. This will be particularly important as the share of renewable energy increases due to the intermittency of solar and wind generation. Demand response will also help reduce the need for energy storage in the short term.

The reserve market is the market for buying and selling the capacity needed to balance the electricity grid. Battery storage facilities can participate in the reserve market by providing quickly activated capacity that helps to keep the frequency of the electricity grid in balance. This is important to maintain the stability of the electricity grid and to secure energy supply.

Solutions and Services

As a supplier-independent company, we design energy storage facilities in close cooperation with our customers to perfectly meet their needs and objectives. We offer both standard and customised solutions, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, with either a power or energy focus. We offer turnkey solutions, taking care of the whole process from design to installation and maintenance. Tailor-made solutions ensure that energy storage facilities operate optimally and efficiently, while providing a reliable and sustainable service for the long term.

The Need and Benefits of Energy Storage

To promote the green transition and economic benefits, energy storage solutions are essential for the following reasons:

Managing the variability of energy production: solar and wind power production varies with the weather and the seasons. Energy storage allows excess energy to be captured and used as needed, making renewable energy a more reliable source.

Demand and Supply Balancing: energy storage helps smooth out demand peaks and supply fluctuations. This is essential for the operation of the electricity grid and reduces the use of fossil fuels, leading to more efficient and environmentally friendly energy production.

Improved security of supply: This allows for local electricity supply even in case of disruptions, which is important for the functioning of society.

Support for Distributed Generation: energy storage can help smooth local fluctuations in renewable energy production and reduce the load on the electricity grid. This makes the electricity grid more flexible and reliable.

Progress towards carbon neutrality: energy storage enables the use of renewable energy even when production is low. This reduces the use of fossil fuels and carbon emissions, contributing to achieving carbon neutrality goals.

 

 

Applications for battery solutions include:

• Frequency control
  

• Joining the reserve market
  

• Balancing own production and consumption
  

• Reserve power
  

• Restoration of network operation after disturbances
  

• Long-term storage
  

• Optimising network investments
  

• Demand response

Battery solutions can perform several different tasks at the same time.
