The Vertiv™ DynaFlex BESS uses UL9540A lithium-ion batteries to provide utility-scale energy storage for mission-critical businesses that can be used as an always-on power supply. This
The company will also add a battery energy storage system (BESS) with a capacity of 9 MW/5 MWh in Santiago and another unit of 6 MW/6MWh on the island of Sal. The new facilities will contribute to annual
A renewable energy mini-grid system has been inaugurated in Cabo Verde that will supply electricity to hundreds of residents living on the archipelago off of West Africa. The system includes an installed solar PV
During the presentation of the project, Cape Verde's National Director for Industry, Trade and Energy, Rito Évora, announced that the energy storage centre is scheduled to be operational by 2030, with the aim of injecting 7% of renewable energy into the national public grid and 18% into that of the island of Santiago.
Cape Verde can meet its goal of 50% renewables today by integrating energy storage. A 100% Renewable System is achieved from 2026, with a 20 year cost from 68 to 107 M€. Current paradigm doubles emissions in 20 years and costs ranges from 71 to 107 M€. The optimal configuration achieves 90% renewable shares with a cost from 50 to 75 M€.
In the case of Cape Verde, there is one study evaluating the wave energy potential which highlights the resource available, particularly for the northern islands, such as São Vicente . Unfortunately, the study identifies the wave resource to match that of the wind.
The archipelago of Cape Verde is a developing state in West Africa with extreme external energy dependency on refined oil imports despite their available solar and wind resources. Aligned with the global energy transition, the local government established goals in 2011 aiming at 50 and 100% RES.
We have selected the island of Santiago in Cape Verde as the study case given the available Open Access dataset , , and the current goals of the local government of reaching 100% RES-based system by 2050, the ongoing direct and indirect electrification of road and maritime transport via EVs and hydrogen vessels, respectively , .
Nevertheless, we discarded this due to the fact that the grid in Cape Verde is currently in expansion and this process is expected to continue during the foreseeable future following criterias related to energy access and political will, rather than techno-economical feasibility. Thus, falling out of scope.
We are deeply committed to excellence in all our endeavors.
Since we maintain control over our products, our customers can be assured of nothing but the best quality at all times.
