IEA Report Shows Finland Needs Increased
The IEA report recommends that the Finnish government should support the deployment of energy storage solutions in order to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon energy system. It also suggests that policies should
The Role of Energy Storage Solutions in a 100%
Additionally, energy storage may bring reliable energy services to areas that have poor energy infrastructure, or are seen as off-grid. Finland represents an interesting case study of future energy systems due to strong diurnal and seasonal variation in variable energy generation (hydro, wind, solar) that is typical of countries at high latitudes.
Seasonal hydrogen storage for sustainable renewable energy integration
The potential of large-scale hydrogen storage for renewable energy sources (RES) is growing as a low-cost electricity storage option that can store energy throughout days, weeks, and even months in the near future [9].
A review of the current status of energy storage in Finland and
The implementation of the battery energy storage system will contribute to a more than 5-fold reduction in the occurrence of power outages in the time interval from 3 min to 1.5 h, which will clearly reduce the System Average Interruption Frequency Index and System average Interruption Duration Index factors.
A review of the current status of energy storage in Finland and
As Finland is proceeding towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2035, energy storage can help facilitate the integration of increasing amounts of VRES in Finland by addressing the issue of energy supply and demand not matching.
IEA Report Shows Finland Needs Increased Deployment of Energy Storage
The IEA report recommends that the Finnish government should support the deployment of energy storage solutions in order to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon energy system. It also suggests that policies should be put in place to encourage the development of energy storage technologies and to remove regulatory barriers to their deployment.

6 FAQs about [Energy storage and grid integration Finland]
Does Finland's Electricity generation system need hydrogen storage?
Finland's electricity generation system was modelled with and without hydrogen storage using the LEAP-NEMO modeling toolkit. The results showed about 69% decline in carbon dioxide emissions as well as a decline in the fossil fuel-based power accompanied with a higher capability to meet demand with less imports in both scenarios.
Does the heat generation system contribute to electricity production in Finland?
It should be mentioned that the study did not include the heat generation system, which has an outstanding share in power production in Finland and has a role also in electricity production due to combined heat and power plants.
Can hydrogen storage be integrated into the energy systems model?
Impact of incorporating hydrogen storage into the energy systems model is analysed. LEAP-NEMO model for Finland's electricity generation system until 2030 is optimized. Integration of hydrogen storage enables seasonal storage of renewables. Hydrogen storage decreases electricity imports and carbon dioxide emissions.
How much electricity does Finland import?
(IEA 2023) Finland is a net importer of electricity, importing about 18-24 TWh of electricity per year during 2018-2022. Thanks to the start of the nuclear reactor Olkiluoto 3 and increasing capacity of renewable generation, Finland´s electricity imports are expected to decrease significantly.
What are alternative energy storage systems?
For electricity storage there are several alternatives that exist like batteries, pumped hydro storage, hydrogen storage etc. Although battery energy storage systems (BESS) efficiently store electrical energy, they have drawbacks for grid-scale storage in comparison to hydrogen storage .
How can energy storage be used to reduce energy imports?
Another possibility is also to use the storage to store curtailed energy from power plants that have a slow ramp-down rate, where it can charge the storage while ramping down. This will allow for fewer electricity imports.
