Copenhagen power generation and energy storage

Can energy storage units be installed in the Danish power system?

Elsystemansvar A/S (subsidiary of Energinet) has asked Ea Energy Analyses to analyse the benefits and main drivers for the installation of storage units in the Danish power system. This will supplement the technology aspects in the recent Technology Catalogue on Energy Storage (DEA and Energinet, 2019).

Which storage demonstration projects have been carried out in Denmark?
