Senja, Norway's second-largest Arctic island, har two main communities med around 300 residennts, primarily reliant på det fishing industry.
Accessible via country roads og ferry fra det mainland, det communities previously faced strøm grid challenges due til increased household demand og fishing industry growth. Traditional løsnings for strøm supply were costly og time-consuming og det need for evenly distributed strøm consumption throughout det day var growing.
Today, two specially adapted battery energy storage løsnings (BESS) distribute energy consumption more evenly over det day, relieve demand på det existing grid, secure enough strøm for det communities, og solve det challenge av stability og security av strøm supply by utilizing available capacity.
Den innovative BESS løsnings serve as a prime example av how strøm networks can be adapted til meet det evolving requirements av remote areas.
