Pumped-storage renovation for grid-scale, long-duration energy storage
Grid-scale, long-duration energy storage has been widely recognized as an important means to address the intermittency of wind and solar power.
Fortum has initiated a two-year feasibility study to explore potential for new pumped hydro storage facilities in Sweden. The feasibility study will focus on three areas: Lekstjärnen, next to Fortum's hydropower plant in Trängslet in Dalarna County, and Bastvålen and Höljessjön in Värmland County.
The Finnish utility already has around 90 MW of installed pumped hydro storage capacity in Sweden. Fortum has initiated a two-year feasibility study to explore potential for new pumped hydro storage facilities in Sweden.
Pumped Hydro Storage was started by enthusiasts with a background from renewables, and with a strong desire to make a difference in the energy transition. The World's Most Sustainable Balancing Power Enabling a Fossil-Free Generation Pumped Hydro's and SENS team has an extensive experience of renewable energy development and planning
Summary of literature review. In case of the Swedish energy system, there are uncertainties surrounding the future of nuclear power plants, the anticipated increase in wind and solar PV installations, electrification trends, and the role of hydrogen in the steel industry [34, 35].
