Fluence and Siemens are involved in a pilot project to deliver the first energy storage system connected to the transmission system in the Baltics. The pilot with Litgrid, Lithuania’s transmission system operator (TSO), will deploy a 1MW battery at a location near Vilnius designed to serve as a “proof-of-concept” for much larger planned projects in Lithuania. Energy storage deployments will help the country “pursue a synchronous interconnection with the Continental Europe electric grid and a transition to clean energy”. Increasing amounts of renewable energy require additional power flow capacity on key transmission lines at certain points on the grid.
