Wellington-based EV charging services and grid management specialists Thundergrid have been collaborating with the airport to supply and integrate a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to store solar power generated during the day and fully power the terminal at night.
This 83L Single Door Lithium Ion Battery Storage Cabinet is designed for safe, smart Li-Ion battery charging, featuring a smart cooling system, double steel walls, four adjustable shelves with 20 plug sockets, and advanced safety features compliant with FM6050, OSHA, and NFPA.
Instead of employing noisy diesel generators or exposed power lines, these plug-and-play systems include solar panels, inverters, batteries, and all else in a shipping container—ready to deploy, ship, go, and turn on.
The new LNG terminal will become West Africa's flagship LNG import facility, supplying natural gas to a 300MW combined-cycle power plant in Cap des Biches, Dakar – Senegal's largest power plant – as well as several other power plants, industrial customers, and various additional.
Developed by Masdar in partnership with EWEC, the project will deliver 1GW of clean, continuous baseload power at a competitive tariff. 2GW solar photovoltaic plant integrated with a 19GWh battery energy storage system.
