Customer

UPM Energy is a major producer of hydropower and reserve power. In order to be able to participate in future reserve markets,
hydropower must be upgraded, as the many small, rapid load changes in FCR-N exceed the control speed of the regular system. In addition, the mechanical wear of the system is then higher. In order to meet the requirements for the provision of these control reserves, it is necessary to integrate a short-term storage facility.
