Wärtsilä to supply energy storage system for 25 MW/48 MWh GIGA Buffalo battery in Lelystad
Wärtsilä will supply a 25-megawatt (MW)/48-megawatt hour (MWh) energy storage system to GIGA Storage BV in the Netherlands to help stabilise the electric grid.
The system will be co-located with wind and solar assets at the Widnet smart grid, located at the Wageningen University & Research test centre in Lelystad. The Buffalo battery will help stabilise the Netherlands’ electricity grid and save a maximum of 23,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year.
It will be the first large-scale energy storage project based on lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry in Europe. The project will include GridSolv Quantum, a fully integrated, modular and compact energy storage system, as well as the GEMS Digital Energy Platform, Wärtsilä’s sophisticated energy management system.
The project will be the country’s largest system to date it will store the equivalent of the annual energy consumption of more than 9,000 households each year. It is expected to become operational in October 2022.
