The project involves the design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of a 10 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) plant integrated with a 20 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) and a 33 kV evacuation line. The hybrid system will be developed on a 290-hectare site in Garowe, Puntland.
[pdf] The project concept and design is based on a state-of-the-art technology of hybrid operation between the existing hydropower plant turbines of UHE with new utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) to provide a quick frequency response to the national power grid, while simultaneously reducing the wear–and-tear on the hydro units, extending their overhaul interval and lifetime, improving the overall power system reliability, and reducing operational costs.
