AFGHANISTAN TO LAUNCH 13 NEW POWER GENERATION PROJECTS
Photovoltaic power generation new energy and energy storage
A flywheel is a heavy wheel attached to a rotating shaft. Expending energy can make the wheel turn faster. This energy can be extracted by attaching the wheel to an electrical generator, which uses electroma. [pdf]
Afghanistan s new power storage
While solar panels soak up Afghanistan's famous sunshine, battery energy storage systems (BESS) act like electricity savings accounts. The China Town project in Kabul offers a perfect case study - their solar+storage system reduced generator use by 80%, saving $15,000 monthly in diesel costs [3].
