Large-scale energy storage power station solutions

Grid energy storage, also known as large-scale energy storage, is a set of technologies connected to the electrical power grid that store energy for later use. These systems help balance supply and demand by storing excess electricity from variable renewables such as solar and inflexible sources like nuclear power, releasing it when needed. They further provide essential grid se. Roles in the power gridAny must match electricity production to consumption, both of which vary significantly over time. Energy derived from and varies with the weather on time scales ranging from less th. . Electricity can be stored directly for a short time in capacitors, somewhat longer electrochemically in , and much longer chemically (e.g. hydrogen), mechanically (e.g. pumped hydropower) or as heat.

Namibia Power Generation and Communication BESS Power Station

The Erongo Battery Energy Storage System, also Erongo BESS, is a planned 58 MW (78,000 hp) battery energy storage system installation in . The BESS, the first of its kind in the country and in the region, will be capable of providing 72MWh of clean energy to the Namibian grid. [pdf]

FAQS about Namibia Power Generation and Communication BESS Power Station

How much will NamPower contribute to the Bess project?

NamPower will contribute approx. 100 million NAD to ensure the total project cost of around 500 m NAD are fully covered. The BESS plant will assist in peak shifting, energy arbitrage, provision of emergency energy, ramp-rate and reactive power control amongst others.

Will Namibia's electricity grid be stabilized?

The Managing Director of NamPower, Mr Kahenge Simson Haulofu, further said that the electricity grid in Namibia will be stabilized as short and medium-term power fluctuations from RE generation can be load-followed by the storage system.

What is the Bess and how will it work?

The BESS is expected to store "locally generated renewable power as well as electricity imported from the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP)". The electricity will be stored at off-peak times, when it is cheaper. The stored energy can then be discharged "during peak times".

Who won the Bess project?

German development bank KfW, the NPC and NamPower congratulate the EPC contract winning partners, Mr. Benny Jin, Shelmon Chu and Qiao Weijian on the construction of the BESS project worth 500m NAD, which will contribute towards climate change by strengthening the expansion of Renewable Energies in Namibia.

When will NamPower EPC plant be operational?

After an elaborate tendering and evaluation process, NamPower signed the EPC contract with Shandong Electrical, Engineering & Equipment Group Co., Ltd and Zhejiang Narada Power Source Co., Ltd JV on 13 December 2023. Construction work is planned for 18 months and the plant is expected to be operational by mid 2025.
