The power system’s reserves protect the balance between electricity consumption and production.
Tourism company Hullu Poro is introducing a virtual power plant service in Kittilä to enable connections to reserve markets, which balance out electricity generation and consumption. The Aurora Pyramids suites have recently been connected to the service. The solution helps support sustainable development, but the company also benefits financially.
When do we use reserve power, and when do we use peak load capacity? How often are they needed? Is sufficient reserve power always available? What is the purpose of a power balance forecast?
