The pilot project with Fluence is Lithuania''s first grid-scale battery-based energy storage system and will be among the first VTL projects in Europe to be tested. Besides traditional frequency control reserves services
Testing has started on four battery storage projects in Lithuania totalling 200MW/200MWh provided by system integrator Fluence, with a view to turning the projects online in a few months. Construction began on the four projects connected to substations in Šiauliai, Alytus, Utena and Vilnius in June last year, as reported by Energy-Storage.news.
The remaining battery parks will receive the energy storage units in September‘, said R. Štilinis. The energy storage facility system of 312 battery cubes - 78 each in battery parks in Vilnius, Šiauliai and Alytus and Utena regions – will provide Lithuania with an instantaneous energy reserve.
Erlangen, Germany and Vilnius, Lithuania – April 6, 2021 – Fluence, the leading global energy storage technology, software and services provider, Siemens AG and Litgrid, Lithuania’s transmission system operator (TSO), have announced the first pilot project in the Baltics to use battery energy storage on the transmission network.
The Energy Cells storage facility system to be integrated into the Lithuanian grid will have a total combined capacity of 200 megawatts (MW) and 200 megawatt-hours (MWh).
The news agency quoted Lithuania Energy Minister Zygimantas Vaiciunas as saying: “This will be one of the largest and the most innovative battery parks in the world.” For this project, Lithuania plans to make an investment of $117.6m (€100m). This will see the installation of four 50MW batteries, with a minimum of 200MWh of power storage capacity.
