Swedish energy storage battery testing system

How many large-scale battery storage systems are there in Sweden?

14 large-scale battery storage systems (BESS) have come online in Sweden to deploy 211 MW / 211 MWh into the region. Developer and optimiser Ingrid Capacity and energy storage owner-operator BW ESS have been working in partnership to deliver 14 large-scale BESS projects throughout Sweden’s grid, situated in electricity price areas SE3 and SE4.

Where is Sweden's largest battery energy Storge solution located?

This is why we are now building Sweden’s largest Battery Energy Storge Solution (BESS) of 10 MW, which will be located in Grums, in western Sweden. The main function of the system is to better balance the national grid networks.

Alfen has been contracted to supply a battery energy storage system (BESS) in Sweden for electricity network company Ellevio, which will be the Scandinavian nation’s biggest project of its type to date.

What is a battery energy Storge solution?

The first investment is Sweden's largest Battery Energy Storge Solution (BESS) that enables more renewable energy in the electricity system and a better electricity network balance. Electricity is a prerequisite for societal development and achieving climate policy goals.

How many mw can a battery storage system deliver?

The battery storage system has a delivery capacity of 5 MW. It consists of four modules and a 10 kV switchgear, and will be connected to the 10 kV distribution system.

Can battery storage be used to build an electricity grid?

Battery storage can be used as a complement to electricity grids until they are supplemented. Building electricity grids takes time and involves long permit processes, but battery storage is faster to build. The project is run by Vattenfall Eldistribution and Vattenfall Network Solutions.
