Andreij Selänniemi

Andreij Selänniemi is a researcher at the Laboratory of Industrial Management Technologies for a Sustainable Future within the Faculty of Science and Engineering at LUT University. His work focuses on the intersection of energy storage technologies and renewable energy integration, particularly in market design and system sustainability.

His research interests center on enabling 100% renewable energy systems through long-duration energy storage solutions. He investigates how high penetration of variable renewable energy sources impacts electricity grid stability and market creation mechanisms. His work combines technical modeling with policy and economic analysis to support sustainable energy transitions.

The two most recent publications highlight a strong thematic focus on long-duration energy storage and its critical role in supporting grids with high shares of wind and solar power. These works explore both literature-based synthesis and empirical insights from industry experts, particularly in the U.S. context, revealing trends in technology adoption, market innovation, and systemic challenges.

Scientific Activities:

• Active publication in open-access energy journals (Energies, Energy Reports)
• Ongoing supervision of postgraduate research on long-duration energy storage since 2022

Advising and Grants:

• Involved in postgraduate supervision as recipient of funding (2022–present)
• Collaborates with M. Hellström and M. Björklund-Sänkiaho on energy storage and renewable integration projects

Labs and Teams: Part of the Laboratory of Industrial Management Technologies for a Sustainable Future, focusing on industrial-scale sustainable energy solutions and systems management.
