AFRICA ENERGY STORAGE MARKET
INTRODUCTION
Energy storage is the process of storing energy produced at one moment for use at a later time in order to balance out the imbalance between energy production and demand.
Typically, an accumulator or battery is a device that stores energy. There are many different types of energy, including kinetic, chemical, gravitational potential, electrical potential, electricity, increased temperature, and latent heat.
Energy storage is the process of transforming energy from forms that are challenging to store to forms that are easier or more practical to store.
Short-term energy storage is offered by some technologies, whilst long-term energy storage is offered by others. Hydroelectric dams—both traditional and pumped storage—constitute the majority of energy storage today. An assortment of techniques is employed in grid energy storage to store energy on a wide scale within an electrical power system.
Rechargeable batteries, which store chemical energy easily converted to electricity to power a cell phone, hydroelectric dams, which store energy in reservoirs as gravitational potential energy, and ice storage tanks, which store ice frozen by less expensive energy at night to meet peak daytime cooling demand, are common examples of energy storage.
The energy in fossil fuels like coal and gasoline was formerly used by organisms that subsequently perished, were buried, and then through time were transformed into these fuels. Food is a source of energy stored in a chemical form that is produced using the same mechanism as fossil fuels.
The grid of the 20th century relied heavily on the combustion of fossil fuels to produce its electrical power. Less gasoline was burned when less power was needed.
The most often used mechanical energy storage technique is hydropower, which has been around for centuries. For more than a century, large hydroelectric dams have served as locations for energy storage. The rise of renewable energy sources like solar and wind power is a result of worries about air pollution, energy imports, and global warming.
Wind power is unpredictable and can be produced when no additional power is required. While demand frequently peaks after dusk, solar power availability varies with cloud cover and is only at its greatest available during the day (see duck curve). As the renewable energy sector starts to produce a larger share of global energy consumption, there is an increase in interest in storing energy from these intermittent sources.
AFRICA ENERGY STORAGE MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST
The Africa Energy Storage Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH
Eskom’s flagship Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project has begun construction on the first energy storage facility. The sod-turning ceremony took place at the Elandskop BESS site in KwaZulu-Msunduzi Natal’s and Impendle Local Municipalities. Eskom and Hyosung Heavy Industries, one of the chosen service providers for the BESS project, are working on the project.
