4 FAQs about [East Africa coal-to-electricity energy storage equipment]

Why is energy storage important in South Africa?

But as South Africa changes its model for producing and distributing electricity, the demand for energy storage solutions is likely to rise. As coal-fired power plants are decommissioned and renewable energy sources – typically intermittent – are increasingly adopted, reliable and efficient energy storage is coming more and more to the fore.

Does South Africa have a battery storage system?

Matzner notes that South Africa has already made some progress in the deployment of battery storage systems, which can typically provide up to four to five hours of energy storage.

How efficient is a thermal energy storage system?

The roundtrip efficiency, which depends on the existing steam cycle efficiency, is typically around 40%. After successfully validating the thermal energy storage concept in their demonstration facility in Belgrade, E2S Power is currently developing three utility-scale pilot projects with major utilities in Europe and North America.

Is South Africa transitioning to a new energy system?

An Investec podcast on South Africa's energy transition. Matzner explains that South Africa is currently in the process of transitioning to a new system for electricity supply and consumption, from the one previously built around a single, state-owned utility (Eskom).
