Copenhagen smart energy storage battery manufacturer

Who commissioned Copenhagen's first urban energy storage system?

ABB today announced the successful commissioning of Denmark's first urban energy storage system. The Lithion-ion based battery energy storage system (BESS) will be integrated with the local electricity grid in the new harbour district of Nordhavn, Copenhagen. The system has been commissioned for Radius, DONG Energy's electrical grid division.

What is a battery energy storage system?

The battery energy storage system is part of the "EnergyLab Nordhavn" project implemented in the Nordhavn district of Copenhagen. The project aims to develop and demonstrate energy solutions of the future.

What is Danish Center for energy storage?

Danish Center for Energy Storage, DaCES, is a partnership that covers the entire value chain from research and innovation to industry and export in the field of energy storage and conversion. The ambition of DaCES is to strengthen cooperation, sharing of knowledge and establishment of new partnerships between companies and universities.

Will battery storage be the most competitive option in the future?

Recently, International Energy Agency (IEA) estimated in an analysis that battery storage will become the most competitive option for flexibility in the future power system - due to cost reduction on batteries. The academic, utility and industrial partners in the BOSS Project share this view.

Are conventional power plants still used in Denmark?

For more than 100 years, conventional fossil-fueled power plants have supplied society with electricity. Although Denmark has already succeeded in integrating a high share of renewables into the power grid, many conventional units are still in use. The need for security of supply and power system stability maintains operation of these power plants.

Can a smart grid be stable without battery energy storage?

“Examining the grid stability with and without battery energy storage systems in both grid-connected and island modes is unique, and makes BOSS Project among very few projects in the world exploring the stability of a smart grid with high share of renewables combined with battery systems,” says Dr. Hashemi Toghroljerdi.
