South Africa’s electricity minister has said the largest solar-plus-storage project, with a combined solar generation capacity of 540MW, and 225MW/1,140MWh of battery energy storage system (BESS) technology, in the Southern Hemisphere is evidence of efforts to mitigate the country’s difficult energy security situation.
[pdf] A roundup of energy storage news from across the continent of Africa, with Morocco’s ONEE shortlisting bidders for a pumped hydro project, Somalia launching a grid-scale solar and storage tender, and a microgrid pairing grid-scale solar, BESS and diesel at a mine in Zambia.
[pdf] More than 20 firms and consortiums have responded to an invitation to bid to build grid-connected solar parks and battery energy storage systems (BESS) in West African countries under a World Bank-funded programme.
[pdf] Given the significance of the residential sector in terms of energy consumption, a comprehensive understanding of households’ energy consumption patterns and choices is imperative. This paper focuses on analysin.
[pdf] While excess production capacity and a shrinking overseas demand for energy storage pose challenges, 11 leading companies have defied the odds. In the first 11 months of this year, they secured overseas orders totaling nearly 250GWh. Some companies have consistently clinched substantial deals.
[pdf] Flywheels have largely fallen off the energy storage news radar in recent years, their latter-day mechanical underpinnings eclipsed by the steady march of new and exotic battery chemistries for both mobile and stationary storage in the modern grid of the 21st century grid.
