What are some examples of energy efficient buildings in Sweden?

The other example is Kungsbrohuset, situated by Stockholm Central Station. Its energy solutions make the building so efficient that it only requires 51 kWh per sqm a year, which is half the energy consumption prescribed by the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning.

What is hydrogen storage & its applications in buildings?

For more detailed information on hydrogen storage and its applications in buildings, you can refer to the Buildings and Hydrogen Brochure. Energy storage systems significantly enhance the efficiency of buildings by allowing them to store energy during low-demand periods and use it during peak hours.

Why do buildings need energy storage systems?

Energy storage systems enable buildings to manage their energy consumption more dynamically, supporting grid stability and preventing blackouts. Additionally, energy storage enhances building resilience by providing a backup power source during outages, ensuring critical operations continue uninterrupted.

Why is energy storage important?

The capability to store energy allows building operators increased demand flexibility, an essential component of grid-integrated efficient buildings. When you can store energy, you can control the level and timing of when you use energy or return it to the grid.

How many GWh of energy storage has Wärtsilä deployed?

We have deployed or contracted over 17 GWh of energy storage across more than 130 sites worldwide. Backed by Wärtsilä's reputation as a bankable and reliable partner, our comprehensive system-level approach to battery energy storage technologies stands apart.

What are the different types of energy storage?

Batteries are the most common and versatile form of energy storage. They store energy in chemical form and convert it back to electrical energy when needed. Advancements in battery technology, particularly lithium-ion batteries, have made them more efficient and cost-effective.
