The recently established energy storage developer Ingrid Capacity is building a installed capacity of 70MW/70MWH battery energy storage system in Sweden. It will be delivered in the first half of 2024. This is the largest battery energy storage system for the construction of the Nordic countries.
The company is deploying a battery energy storage system operating in Sweden for public utility manufacturers. The energy storage system is planned to open operations in the first half of 2024, but it does not give exact time.
Although the company has not yet determined the choice of battery or supplier it adopted, it is considered to use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries.
The scale of the battery energy storage system is 70MW/70MWH, which is much larger than the currently largest energy storage system in Sweden. Among them, the 5MW/20MWH battery energy storage system operated by VattenFall in UPPSALA and 5.4MW operated by PRIMROCK in Falkenberg Battery energy storage system.
More larger battery energy storage systems are planning, including 10MW/11.9MWH battery energy storage systems from ALFEN, but the battery storage system of Ingrid Capacity is the largest battery energy storage system announced by the outside world. The driving factor deploying these energy storage projects is that the Swedish power grid uses more and more renewable energy power. These power grids are managed by the power transmission system operator (TSO) Svenska Kraftnät.
The power balance service has always been provided by the country's large -scale pumping storage power generation facilities (PHES), but the demand for power has begun to exceed this growth, so it has generated flexible asset demand for energy storage systems such as energy storage systems.
The battery energy storage system will provide power grid balance services, such as frequency response, energy trading services in the market, and local flexibility services to help the power distribution system operator optimize the local power grid.
With the electrification of industries such as Sweden, the country's power demand will also increase significantly. Karlshamn Energi, a local power grid operator, said that there is no problem in the local power shortage, but the peak power demand in 2040 is expected to increase from 22MW to 38-40mW.
