Finland shuoyuan energy storage technology

Does Finland have a large-scale hydrogen storage system?

Considering changes in conventional generation and carbon dioxide emissions, the research seeks to give insights to decision-makers in Finland with regard to investment and planning of large-scale hydrogen storage. Many studies have been conducted to analyze the Finnish energy system using different tools.

Does Finland's electricity system have hydrogen geological storage?

The novelty of this study is that it performs an analysis for Finland's current electricity system with and without hydrogen geological storage in respect to the country's actual generation capacities and its recently updated energy policies and plans using the LEAP-NEMO modeling toolkit.

Are thermal power plants in Finland CHP based?

Most of the thermal power plants in Finland are CHP based; however, the costs and efficiencies incorporated in the model was based on the fuel type in general that reflected more on conventional power plants. This approach has been considered because the heat generation is not modelled.

How much electricity does Finland produce a year?

In 2018, electricity demand in Finland was 87.4 TWh, out of which 67.5 TWh of electricity was generated while 22.5 and 2.6 TWh of electricity were imported and exported, respectively. The total installed electricity generation capacity was 17.2 GW in 2018, which rose to 17.4 GW in 2019.

Which energy storage technology is most cost-effective?

Mongird et al. have done a cost comparison analysis for the different storage technologies over a 10-hour duration of their usable life where it was concluded that compressed-air energy storage, pumped hydro storage and hydrogen energy storage are the most cost-effective technologies .

Why is wind power a problem in Finland?

Wind power is rapidly growing in the Finnish grid [ 1, 2] and due to its intermittent nature, it is difficult to predict the generation accurately resulting in a complicated integration to the grid because of imbalances between demand and production.
