Recently, the SFQ 215kWh total capacity project has been successfully operational in a city in South Africa. This project includes a 106kWp rooftop distributed photovoltaic system and a 100kW/215kWh energy storage system.
The project not only showcases advanced solar technology but also contributes significantly to the development of green energy locally and globally.
Project Background
This project, supplied by SFQ Energy Storage Company to an operational base in South Africa, provides power for the base's production facilities, office equipment, and household appliances.
Given the local power supply conditions, the region faces issues such as inadequate grid infrastructure and severe load shedding, with the grid struggling to meet demand during peak periods. To alleviate the power crisis, the government has reduced residential electricity usage and increased electricity prices. Additionally, traditional diesel generators are noisy, have safety risks due to flammable diesel, and contribute to air pollution through exhaust emissions.
Considering the local site conditions and the client's specific needs, along with the local government's support for renewable energy generation, SFQ designed a tailored one-stop solution for the client. This solution encompassed a full range of support services, including project construction, equipment installation, and commissioning, to ensure a faster and more efficient project completion. The project is now fully installed and operational.
Through the implementation of this project, the problems of high load power, significant load fluctuations, and insufficient grid quotas in the factory area have been solved. By integrating energy storage with the photovoltaic system, the issue of solar energy curtailment has been addressed. This integration has improved the consumption and utilization rates of solar power, contributing to carbon reduction and increased photovoltaic generation revenue.
Project Highlights
Enhancing the client's economic benefits
The project, by fully utilizing renewable energy, helps clients achieve energy independence and reduce electricity costs, eliminating reliance on the grid. Additionally, by charging during off-peak periods and discharging during peak periods to mitigate peak load demand, it delivers significant economic benefits to the client.
Creating a green and low-carbon environment
This project fully embraces the green and low-carbon development concept. By substituting diesel fossil fuel generators with energy storage batteries, it reduces noise, significantly decreases harmful gas emissions, and contributes to achieving carbon neutrality.
Breaking traditional barriers in energy storage technology
Employing an All-in-One multifunctional integration, this system supports photovoltaic integration, grid and off-grid switching, and covers all scenarios involving solar, storage, and diesel power. It features emergency backup power capabilities and boasts high efficiency and long lifespan, effectively balancing supply and demand and enhancing energy utilization efficiency.
Building a safe energy storage environment
The electrical separation design, along with a multi-tiered fire protection system—including cell-level gas fire suppression, cabinet-level gas fire suppression, and exhaust ventilation—creates a comprehensive safety framework. This highlights a significant focus on user safety and mitigates concerns regarding the safety of the energy storage system.
Adapting to diverse application needs
The modular design minimizes footprint, saving installation space and providing significant convenience for on-site maintenance and installation. It supports up to 10 parallel units, with a DC-side expansion capacity of 2.15 MWh, accommodating various application needs.
Helping clients achieve efficient operations and maintenance
The energy storage cabinet integrates an EMS function, using intelligent control algorithms to optimize power quality and response speed. It effectively performs functions such as reverse flow protection, peak shaving and valley filling, and demand management, helping customers achieve intelligent monitoring.
Project Significance
The project, by fully utilizing renewable energy, helps clients achieve energy independence and reduce electricity costs, eliminating reliance on the grid. Additionally, by charging during off-peak periods and discharging during peak periods to mitigate peak load demand, it delivers significant economic benefits to the client.
As global electricity demand rises and pressure on national and regional grids intensifies, traditional energy sources no longer meet market needs. In this context, SFQ has developed efficient, safe, and intelligent energy storage systems to provide customers with more reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly energy solutions. Projects have been successfully implemented in multiple countries both domestically and internationally.
SFQ will continue to focus on the energy storage sector, developing innovative products and solutions to deliver higher-quality services and drive forward the global transition to sustainable and low-carbon energy.
