EMALDO® - Superheroes of the power grid
Our systems are purpose-built superheroes of grid balancing.
Have you ever wondered how electricity gets to your home? There's a complex system at work, influenced by weather conditions, energy production methods and more. Balancing the electricity grid is essential if we are to enjoy uninterrupted power. There is an innovative solution to this challenge: Emaldo®.
The electricity grid - a complex system
The Finnish electricity grid is part of a wider Nordic system. Electricity is produced in power plants, from where it flows through the grid to distribution networks and finally to households and businesses. Fingrid is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the grid.
The challenges of renewable energy
In recent years, we have increasingly moved towards renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. This is a very positive development for the environment, but it also brings new challenges. Wind and solar energy production varies depending on weather conditions, which can cause imbalances in the electricity grid.
Emaldo® - a superhero on the electricity grid
Emaldo® has developed an innovative solution to help balance the electricity grid. Emaldo's systems act as a virtual power plant that can quickly increase or decrease electricity production as needed.This means that when the wind is not blowing or the sun is not shining, Emaldo's systems can feed electricity into the grid.Conversely, when production exceeds consumption, the systems can take it over.
How does it work?
- Virtual power plant: the Emaldo systems will be connected to a virtual network that will allow them to be controlled together.
- Balancing services: the system provides services for balancing the network.
- Automatic adjustment: the system automatically responds to the needs of the network.
- Remuneration: the system owner is remunerated for his participation.
Benefits for all
Emaldo's solution offers several advantages:
- A more stable electricity grid: Emaldo's systems help balance the grid and ensure a reliable supply of electricity.
- Increased use of renewable energy: Emaldo's systems enable more renewable energy to be fed into the grid.
- Economic benefits: system owners are compensated for their participation.
- Environmental benefits: Emaldo's systems reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Green future.
Emaldo is an important part of a sustainable energy future. Together with other actors, Emaldo is working to make electricity generation more environmentally friendly and efficient.
