15 000 electric storage battery use
Helsinki will be introduced the largest electricity storage in the Nordic countries. A new kind of container containing 15 000 battery is placed adjacent to the Suvilahti solar power station. Giant battery comes first for research purposes.
Electricity storage is composed of 15 000 lithium-ion batteries, with a power output of 1.2 MW and a capacity of 600 kilowatt-hours of energy.
” Electricity storage is the future of smart grid multipurpose tool. We see the power of temporary storage as an important element of flexibility, which helps to coordinate production and consumption, ”
The advantages of battery electric warehouse are its lightning-fast start-up and easy adjustability.
The current legislation in Finland does not recognize the storage of electricity – so it can be classified as both consumption and production, and therefore the taxes and transfer fees to be paid for electricity and charging the production levies in discharge of electricity.

Elon Musk Says Tesla Could Rebuild Puerto Rico’s Power Grid With Batteries, Solar
https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/17/10/06/0141258/elon-musk-says-tesla-could-rebuild-puerto-ricos-power-grid-with-batteries-solar
After Puerto Rico was hit by hurricane Maria, Tesla quickly started shipping hundreds of its Powerwall batteries there to try and get power back on to some houses with solar arrays. Now, Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to Twitter to say that Tesla could rebuild Puerto Rico’s power grid with batteries and solar on a bigger scale. Electrek reports:
Puerto Rico’s electricity rates were already quite high at around $0.20 per kWh and reliant on fossil fuels. After it was pointed out that Puerto Rico’s destroyed grid is an opportunity to build a better one, Musk wrote on Twitter: “The Tesla team has done this for many smaller islands around the world, but there is no scalability limit so it can be done for Puerto Rico too. Such a decision would be in the hands of the Puerto Rico government, PUC (Public Utilities Commission), any commercial stakeholders and, most importantly, the people of Puerto Rico.”

After Puerto Rico was hit by two hurricanes back to back in just a few weeks, along with other islands in the Caribbean, most of their power grid was completely destroyed. Tesla quickly started quietly shipping Powerwalls there to try to get power back on to some houses with solar arrays.
Musk is referring to solar and battery projects that Tesla recently deployed on other islands, like Tesla’s visually stunning Powerpack and solar project in Kauai and a battery and solar microgrid on an island in the American Samoa.

Looks Like Tesla’s Giant Battery In Australia Made Some Serious Cash This Month
http://www.iflscience.com/technology/looks-like-teslas-giant-battery-in-australia-made-some-serious-cash-this-month/
Tesla’s South Australian Powerpack Project, the world’s largest lithium-ion battery, was fired up at the end of last year. Not only is this farm-sized battery already proving to be an incredible piece of tech, it could also be an exceptionally wise investment for Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
Within just a couple of days, the Powerpack Project could have made approximately AUS $1 million (US $810,000) through the electricity wholesale market, according to an estimate by Australian clean energy news site RenewEconomy. Considering that the project cost an estimated US $50 million to set up, that’s a solid few hours’ work.
