POWEROAD is proud to announce the successful commissioning of its advanced kontejnerový systém skladování energie, the BESS CENTRIC-A20, in South Africa. Following rigorous on-site final testing by POWEROAD’s engineering team, the system is now operational, powering a 375kW/860kWh hybrid on/off-grid PV+ESS project at a local shopping center.
Project Highlights:
- Located near the southernmost tip of Africa, where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet, this ESS project is exposed to high humidity and salt spray. The system’s C5 anti-corrosion shell and IP55 protection ensure stable, efficient operation in this corrosive environment.
- The containerized ESS includes automatic power-off protection and an active fire-suppression system, developed in collaboration with China Academy of Building Research Fire Institute, to enhance fire safety for both the shopping center and its visitors.
- Acting as a backup power source, the ESS features seamless on/off-grid switching, ensuring uninterrupted power for essential systems like lighting, payment, and security during grid failures, thus enhancing operational flexibility and stability.
- Utilizing the PV+ESS configuration optimizes clean energy use, taking advantage of time-of-use pricing to lower power costs, reduce operating expenses, and yield economic benefits for the shopping center.
- The ESS is connected to the POWEROAD Cloud Platform, offering visualized maintenance, detailed data analytics, and comprehensive operational services, including safety monitoring, operational strategy adjustment, and real-time battery balancing. This system proactively alerts for potential safety risks 30 minutes in advance, facilitating prompt troubleshooting and enhancing system security.
- Na stránkách POWEROAD ESS features an integrated design that allows for in-factory prefabrication and testing. It can be directly lifted and installed on-site without additional setup, significantly reducing the project timeline. With a simplified system structure, the ESS offers ease of installation, providing a plug-and-play experience.
In light of South Africa’s power instability, this project is critical in ensuring stable electricity supply. The green energy storage project demonstrates the potential for broader application of energy technology in South Africa, supporting the nation’s shift towards a low-carbon energy model. By leveraging time-of-use rates, the project cuts electricity costs, improves energy efficiency, and boosts the shopping center’s competitiveness. Situated in a prime ecotourism location, the environmentally friendly ESS enhances the sustainable tourism experience, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and contributing to the region’s green tourism development.
