SBP | What does frequency regulation with energy storage mean?

Thanks to the opportunities to make your solar energy available to FCR or FFR, your investment in a solar cell system can become more economically beneficial in combination with battery storage.

The frequency in our electricity grid depends in short on the balance between the production and consumption of electricity in the country. If the electricity grid loses the balance between these factors, power outages are risked, and in the current energy climate, where capacity shortages in the electricity transfer from north to south are noticeable to the general public through differences in electricity prices geographically, the electricity grid sometimes needs to be supported by power reserves. There, the public and actors who have a large proportion of stored energy available have the opportunity to assist Svenska Kraftnät in its mission to maintain a stable and reliable electricity supply.

By complementing your investment in solar panels with energy storage, your company can participate in the frequency regulation market through FFR (Fast Frequency Reserve) and FCR (Frequency Containment Reserve). You make your energy storage available to the electricity grid and can thereby contribute to stabilizing the grid when needed.

Investments in energy storage with connection to the frequency regulation market are currently very lucrative and can be combined with your solar energy investments to great advantage, especially through our business model Greentech-As-A-Service. Then we take full responsibility for everything from the delivery of your green technology to the frequency trading against Svenska Kraftnät on an ongoing basis.
