Hitachi Energy 7.5MWh BESS project to help Faroe Islands

Hitachi Energy has been selected to supply a large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) for a wind farm in the Faroe Islands, as the remote archipelago targets a goal of 100% renewable energy. The North Atlantic islands, between Norway and Iceland and north of Scotland, are home to about 50,000 people.

Optimization-based operation of island hybrid power systems: a

Abstract: An optimization-based energy management system (EMS) for the island hybrid power system of Suðuroy on the Faroe Islands is proposed in this paper. Next to balancing generation and load, the aim lies in reducing the operational costs while dealing with uncertainties from the intermittent nature of renewables.

Hitachi Energy helps the Faroe Islands aim for 100% renewable

Hitachi Energy today announced that SEV 1, the power company serving the Faroe Islands, has selected an e-meshTM PowerStoreTM Battery Energy Storage (BESS) 2 solution as part of its efforts to achieve energy independence based on 100 percent renewable generation by 2030.

MAN Energy Completes Hybrid Power Plant in Faroe

Four MAN 9L51/60 engines have been successfully integrated into the islands'' hybrid energy-system and will complement the existing power station with an additional 37 MW power generation, as well as district heating

Shining a light on a smart island

The Faroe Islands are aiming for complete sustainable energy supply by creating a smart and innovative micro-grid. Far from continental Europe and surrounded by a vast sea, the Faroe Islands lie in the middle of the North Atlantic between Iceland and Norway.

Faroe Islands

The islands has a small and vulnerable power system with a high number of blackouts compared to continental Europe (1-3 total blackouts yearly). They only have a few power plants, no interconnectors to other countries and harsh weather conditions with frequent storms. The Faroe Island power system can collapse in a few seconds

SEV and Faroe Islands see impressive sustainable energy gains

The storage capability has allowed SEV to take its thermal power plant on Suðuroy temporarily offline and reduce emissions from thermal diesel generation, while powering the island using only energy derived from a mix of renewable sources that

Faroe Islands aim for 100% renewables by 2030 using BESS

The Faroe Islands have made a significant leap in their renewable energy journey, thanks to the integration of a battery energy storage system (BESS) from Hitachi Energy. During 2022 and 2023, the BESS has increased the share of renewable energy, primarily wind and hydro, in the islands'' energy mix to 50% in 2023.
