Because the unit cost of lithium-ion BESS increases proportionally as a systems'' duration increases, larger systems are currently very expensive. Longer duration battery technologies like vanadium flow and iron flow have a more marginal increase in cost as you increase the duration, and so are more cost competitive as you get to larger system

What is Svalbard & Jan Mayen in ISO 3166-2?
ISO 3166-2:SJ is the entry for Svalbard and Jan Mayen in ISO 3166-2, a system for assigning codes to subnational administrative divisions. However, further subdivision for Svalbard and Jan Mayen occurs under Norway's entry, ISO 3166-2:NO:
What is a Svalbard & Jan Mayen islands?
The United Nations Statistics Division also uses this code, but has named it the Svalbard and Jan Mayen Islands. Svalbard is an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean under the sovereignty of Norway, but is subject to the special status granted by the Svalbard Treaty.
Who governs Svalbard?
The archipelago is administered by the Governor of Svalbard, which is subordinate to the Norwegian Ministry of Justice and Public Security. Unlike the rest of Norway (including Jan Mayen), Svalbard is a free economic zone and a demilitarized zone, and is not part of the Schengen Area nor the European Economic Area.
Which Nordic countries are deploying Bess batteries in 2024?
BESS deployments in the Nordics. Source: LCP Delta STOREtrack. Sweden, however, has both a more developed residential storage sector and a bigger pipeline of grid-scale batteries than the rest of the Nordic countries put together, with around 400MW announced for operations in 2024 alone.
Does Svalbard have an ISO code?
While a separate ISO code for Svalbard was proposed by the United Nations, it was the Norwegian authorities who took initiative to include Jan Mayen in the code. Its official language is Norwegian. Both Svalbard and Jan Mayen consist almost entirely of Arctic wilderness, such as at Bellsund in Svalbard.
