Contact UsThis enables Elisa to target 150MWh storage capacity which makes it Europe's largest distributed virtual power plant project. The capacity is among the largest European battery storage systems even when compared to centralised grid-scale battery installations.
Those same batteries either power the network or feed electricity back into the grid when electricity consumption is high. By doing this, the virtual power plant balances peaks in electricity consumption and high prices. Lower electricity prices benefit everyone who uses electric power.
The Distributed Energy Storage (DES) solution powered by AI/ML uses the flexibility of backup power batteries to control electricity supply in thousands of base stations in the radio access network throughout the day. The DES system optimises the timing of electricity purchases by scheduling charging and discharging periods for the batteries.
Elisa's DES virtual power plant provides a critical source of supply for the Finnish power grid that can be used when there are disturbances in production or during peaks in demand, thereby improving the resilience of the grid in crisis situations.
