In several countries near Sweden, the expansion of energy storage has therefore already been underway for some time. Ingrid Capacity now ensures that Sweden catches up,” says Karin Lindberg Salevid, Chief Operations Officer of Ingrid Capacity.
Classification of energy storage technologies. Gravity energy storage technology (GES) depends on the vertical movement of a heavy object in a gravitational field to store or release electricity.
Together, this is a historic expansion of energy storage in Sweden. Energy storage allows us to store electricity when demand is low, and then reinsert it into the system when demand is high. In order for electrification to take place in a cost-efficient manner, a focus on optimized solutions is required.
13 February 2024 SWEDEN – The energy storages are being built in Falköping (16 MW), Karlskrona (16 MW), Katrineholm (20 MW), Mjölby (8 MW), Sandviken (20 MW), Vaggeryd (11 MW), Värnamo (20 MW) and Västerås (11 MW). A storage with a power of 20 MW correlates to what a Swedish town with 40,000 inhabitants on average consumes during peak hours.
Potential savings for Swedish aluminium casting foundries are 8-15 GWh, or 11-21% of the total. “The money that the companies can save depends on energy prices, of course, and this means that it is difficult to calculate. But if we assume a price of 1 SEK/kWh, the saving is SEK 100-200 million.
The Swedish aluminium industry could save huge amounts of energy and significantly reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. There are strong driving forces for this, but also significant barriers. These are the conclusions of a new doctoral thesis presented at LiU.
