What would a large-scale battery energy storage system mean for a municipality?
In looking at what the introduction of a large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) would mean for a municipality they looked at multiple use cases to gain an understanding of what flexibility it could offer, what the future impact would be on the power system and establishing the most optimal.
What is a battery energy storage system?
BESS, or Battery Energy Storage Systems, stores electricity in batteries for on-demand power supply. The phrase “battery system” encompasses battery design, engineering, and deployment. Various energy sources like gas, nuclear, wind, and solar can charge BESS, making it crucial for stabilising grids and enhancing renewable energy reliability.
How much electricity can a Bess project store?
This project can store up to 100MWh of electricity, enough to power a town for five hours, and will feature 2MW of PV capacity. It is the first phase of the utility's BESS project plan to install 833MWh of additional storage at eight of its distribution substation sites across KwaZulu-Natal, the Eastern Cape, the Western Cape and the Northern Cape.
