Where is lima s first energy storage power station

What is the Lima pumped-storage project?

The Lima pumped-storage project is part of a capital expansion programme by Eskom, to help meet the country’s growing electricity demand. The feasibility design of the 1500 MW scheme, in South Africa’s Limpopo province, was completed in May 2007 and the tender design for the access tunnels and infrastructure of this scheme began in September 2007.

What are battery storage power stations?

Battery storage power stations are usually composed of batteries, power conversion systems (inverters), control systems and monitoring equipment. There are a variety of battery types used, including lithium-ion, lead-acid, flow cell batteries, and others, depending on factors such as energy density, cycle life, and cost.

Why do battery storage power stations need a data collection system?

Battery storage power stations require complete functions to ensure efficient operation and management. First, they need strong data collection capabilities to collect important information such as voltage, current, temperature, SOC, etc.
