The European Circular Economy Project TREASoURcE to Install Stationary Battery Systems for Energy Storage Purposes at Two Demo Sites in Norway and Finland22.3.2023 11:44:00 EET | Press release
As part of the four-year circular economy project TREASoURcE, a stationary Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) built with used electric vehicle batteries will be commissioned at two demo sites in Norway and Finland over the summer 2023. The demonstrations aim to increase knowledge of the batteries’ second life and their functionality and how stationary batteries can be used to balance electricity demand. The intended result is to accelerate the market uptake of this technology. The selected demo sites are Rudskogen Motorsports Centre in Viken, Norway, and the municipally owned Lempäälä House in Lempäälä, Finland. The pilot is led by the Norwegian research organisation SINTEF and the battery systems will be supplied by the Norwegian company ECO STOR AS. The system stores excess energy from solar panels which in turn is used to cut power peaks for the facilities. The BESS can thus be used to shift energy consumption to reduce the energy cost and provide stabilization for the entire powe
