Faroe Islands Wind-Battery project

SEV: vertically integrated utility

– Target 2020: 75% renewables with hydro & wind

• 60% reached in 2015

New 12MW wind farm with ESS in 2015

– Total wind capacity 18MW

– 30% of total generation capacity

– 18% of yearly energy consumption

• 42% hydroenergy, 40% thermal generation

Long term vision

– Two-fold increase of energy consumption by 2030

– Target: 100% renewables

Requirements

– Volatility of wind generation

• Impact on voltage and frequency

• Stress on diesel generation to compensateshort term fluctuation

– Lack of inertia

– Substitution of synchronous generation by inverter based generation

Lessons learnt

Operation of the SEV system with 85% of load covered by wind is possible and stable

3 main business case levers:

1. A small ESS to reduce CAPEX Managing short term variability needs power, but

only little energy

2. Very high wind harvesting Avoidance of > 6000 MWh of diesel generation

3. Avoidance of other grid investments
