Together with the solar power and battery installer Solarvoima, CheckWatt is now providing grid support services to the Finnish transmission system operator Fingrid. Solarvoima has completed the installation of its first Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) for the Finnish balancing market at surface treatment company Alu-Releco’s facility in Riihimäki. Connected to CheckWatt’s virtual power plant
With the help of CheckWatt, hundreds of households and companies in the Gothenburg and Mölndal areas are participating in the local flexibility market this winter, thereby contributing to an efficient electricity supply. Read the full press release (in Swedish) issued by CheckWatt.
MATISSE is a European research project bringing together 30 partners from seven countries to develop an advanced framework for efficient engineering and validation of industrial systems using Digital Twins. By integrating Digital Twins with model-based, data-driven, cloud technologies, MATISSE aims to simulate, test, and predict system behaviours, enhancing both productivity and quality of industrial processes.
Organised by the strategic innovation programme, Infra Sweden, the conference showcases the results from funded projects on promoting a sustainable Swedish transport infrastructure. Results from IoTBridge, a spin-off of the project iBridge, is presented by Jacob Nyman in the afternoon, in the session: AI based surveillance system for condition monitoring of railway bridges (in Swedish: AI-baserat övervakningssystem för tillståndsbedömning av
Many wind turbine towers are approaching the end of their design life, which is typically 20-30 years. However, by using the latest techniques and knowledge from structural health monitoring, it is possible to optimise the operation of the turbines and safely extend their lifetime, and thereby also the revenues. IoTBridge, SM Teknik and researchers from
We will be presenting the innovation programme InfraSweden, and how participation led to the commercialisation of IoTBridge. IoTBridge participated in the InfraSweden project iBRIDGE in 2020-2021 to develop and test new digital solutions that could reduce the escalating costs of bridge inspection, maintenance and repairs, with 35.000 Swedish bridges being older than 50 years. Through
To enable grid ancillary services, CheckWatt and Huawei have been working closely together to integrate the Huawei residential batteries with CheckWatt’s virtual power plant (VPP) Currently. Read the announcement from Huawei on LinkedIn Huawei has a large share of the household market for energy storage in Sweden, and this announcement means a huge increase in
The PRAESIIDIUM consortium, in which CheckHealth is a partner, is developing solutions aimed at providing real-time prediction of the risk of prediabetes in individuals. The project is now launching its clinical studies to collect more data for the prediction modelling. To predict the risk of prediabetes, the project uses physics-informed machine learning based on a
When the Finnish nuclear power plant Olkiluoto 3 had to make a sudden shutdown on 19 November, CheckWatt‘s virtual power plant Currently was one of the balance resources activated, instantly providing the grid with 22 MW as frequency support. Currently is a virtual power plant that aggregates and coordinates thousands of distributed batteries to act
The monitoring work performed by IoTBridge in relation to the railway bascule bridge in Vänersborg, Sweden has now been published in a scientific paper. The paper describes the safety assessment processes and the underlying ideas behind them, the challenges encountered, and the developed monitoring dashboard for visualisation of results. It also explains how the system
