World''s largest thermal energy storage to be built in Finland
The total thermal capacity of the facility when fully charged will be 90GWh – enough to heat a medium-sized Finnish city for a year or the equivalent of 1.3 million electric car batteries. Jukka Toivonen, CEO of Vantaa Energy who are behind the project, said: ''Two 60-MW electric boilers will be built in conjunction with Varanto.
Thermal Energy Storage | Carrier Finland
By storing the thermal energy during the night and releasing it during the day, this solution allows electricity usage at the lowest prices and avoids the peaks. By spreading thermal energy production over 24 hours, TES can reduce chiller load by up to 70%*. *Measured differences between equivalent systems designed with and without TES.
