SAFT, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Total, has won an order for three Intensium Max 20 High Energy battery storage containers from TuuliWatti, the Finnish wind developer and operator. The Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) energy storage system (ESS) will support frequency regulation at a 21MW wind farm in northwestern Finland. It will also optimize the wind power, as well as provide backup and black start capabilities. The Li-Ion ESS, the largest in the Nordic countries, is sized to provide an energy storage capacity of 6.6 MWh and deliver 5.6 MW of power for frequency regulation throughout its 15-year lifetime. It comes in three integrated containers of 2.2 MWh each, designed and manufactured at SAFT’s site in Bordeaux, France.
