4 FAQs about [Thermal energy storage in nigeria]
Is there a solar thermal power plant in Nigeria?
Despite the promising solar resource potential ( Fig. 8 ) in northern Nigeria area, as of now, there is no existing CSP plant in Nigeria. There is a need to study in details and practical terms, the technical and economic feasibility and requirements for establishing a PTC solar thermal power plant at specific locations in northern Nigeria.
What is thermal energy storage?
Thermal energy storage (TES) serves as a solution to reconcile the disparity between the availability of renewable resources and the actual energy demand. TES is a technology where thermal energy is stored by altering the internal energy of a material.
Can solar energy help solve the Nigerian energy deficit?
These two energy resources have been considered sustainable and can play a key role in solving the Nigerian energy deficit (Salman, Nomanbhay, and Foo 2018). Looking at the solar energy potential of Nigeria, it is readily available and easily adaptable to support human activities.
Can Energy Clusters be used as emergency power in Nigeria?
Development of an energy co-conversion generation technology for renewable energy sub-systems integration in a smart grid model will provide opportunities for energy clusters in Nigeria for power generation too (Ohunakin et al. 2014). These can serve as emergency power in terms of power generation.
