And we are committed to continue pushing the envelope, and remain committed to maintaining our 100% fire safety record for our GridSolv Quantum energy storage system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Quantum<sup>HE\u00a0<\/sup>utilises 306 Ah battery cells, optimising the usable energy during the lifecycle and increasing the energy density of storage facilities by nine percent. The enhanced density reduces land requirements by up to fifteen percent and reduces the number of units required per facility, lowering equipment costs, expediting the development process and reducing maintenance requirements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Quantum<sup>HE\u00a0<\/sup>is compatible with W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s sophisticated GEMS Digital Energy Management Platform, which monitors, controls and optimises energy assets on both site and portfolio levels. GEMS can support large energy storage facilities with built-in control features and power purchase agreement optimisation. GEMS enables several advanced grid support services including black start, island operation and virtual synchronous generator (VSG) and it is evolving to provide predictive battery analytics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 is the third largest energy storage system integrator,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spglobal.com\/commodityinsights\/en\/ci\/research-analysis\/the-five-largest-battery-energy-storage-system-bess-integrator.html\">according to S&amp;P Global<\/a>, with a portfolio of over 3.5 gigawatts (GW) and over 7.5 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of energy storage capacity awarded, contracted, or in deployment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Learn more:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/storage.wartsila.com\/technology\/?_ga=2.136799668.580445176.1633934290-2065570389.1567520491\">W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Energy Storage &amp; Optimisation<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Media contact for more information on this release:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Katri Pehkonen<br \/>\nCommunications Manager<br \/>\nW\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Energy<br \/>\nMob: +358 50 591 6180<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:katri.pehkonen@wartsila.com\">katri.pehkonen@wartsila.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Image caption:\u00a0<em>Quantum High Energy (Quantum<sup>HE<\/sup>), a next generation energy storage system with advanced safety features and enhanced energy density.<\/em>\u00a0\u00a9 W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Corporation<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 releases are available at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wartsila.com\/media\/news-releases\">www.wartsila.com\/media\/news-releases<\/a>\u00a0and at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/news.cision.com\/wartsila-corporation\">news.cision.com\/wartsila-corporation<\/a>\u00a0where also the images can be downloaded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Energy in brief<\/strong><br \/>\nW\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Energy leads the transition towards a 100% renewable energy future.
