Does Finland need a grid-connected battery energy system?

Finland is an international frontrunner in implementing grid-forming capabilities. Grid-connected battery energy systems are already required to have these properties in existing and future converter-dominated areas,” says Harjula.

How do I choose the right inverter for my off-grid Solar System?

The choice between a low-frequency and high-frequency inverter will depend on your specific needs, such as the type of loads you expect to power and the conditions in which your off-grid system will operate. Considering these factors is essential when choosing the suitable inverter for your off-grid solar system.

What is happening in Finland's power system?

The power system of Finland is undergoing a major change. It is increasingly dominated by power converters, as wind power is becoming the main form of electricity production and solar power is also increasing in importance.

What is a high frequency inverter?

Applications: These inverters are more suitable for off-grid systems where heavy loads and extreme conditions are expected, such as in industrial applications or in remote locations with harsh environments. Weight: High-frequency inverters are lighter than low-frequency inverters, using smaller, lighter transformers.

How is electricity consumption calculated in Finland?

Total consumption of electricity in Finland, which is calculated based on real time values of electricity production, import and export. Total electricity production in Finland. Based on real-time measurements and computational estimates of power plants. Net value of electricity imports and exports based on real-time measurements.

How is Fingrid ensuring grid stability?

Fingrid’s investments to ensure grid stability are progressing well. New transmission lines are being planned and built. The first large synchronous machine without an energy source—known as a synchronous compensator—will be completed next year at Fingrid’s Jylkkä substation in North Ostrobothnia.
