Ua hāʻawi ʻia nā ʻae hoʻomohala no ka ʻōnaehana hoʻopaʻa uila uila nui i hoʻolālā ʻia (BESS) a hiki i kēia lā.

Ke kūkulu ʻia nei ka papahana hoʻopaʻa pākaukau 100MW e ka mea hana uila a me ka hale kūʻai Meridian Energy ma Ruākākā ma ka ʻĀkau o Aotearoa.Aia ke kahua ma kahi kokoke i Marsden Point, kahi hale hana ʻaila ma mua.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Meridian i ka pule i hala (3 Nowemapa) ua loaʻa iā ia ka ʻae waiwai no ka papahana mai ka ʻAha Apana ʻo Whangārei a me nā luna o ka ʻAha Kūkākūkā o Northland.Hōʻailona ia i ka pae mua o Ruākākā Energy Park, me ka manaʻo o Meridian e kūkulu pū i kahi mea kanu PV solar 125MW ma ke kahua ma hope.

Manaʻo ʻo Meridian e hoʻokō ʻia ka BESS i ka makahiki 2024. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Helen Knott ke poʻo o ka hoʻomohala hou ʻana o ka hui, ʻo ke kōkua e hāʻawi ʻia i ka grid e hōʻemi i ka volatility o ka lako a me ke koi, a no laila e kōkua i ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i nā kumukūʻai uila.

“Ua ʻike mākou i kā mākou ʻōnaehana uila e hoʻopilikia ʻia i kekahi manawa me nā pilikia hoʻolako i alakaʻi i ke kumu kūʻai.E kōkua ka waihona pākaukau i ka hōʻemi ʻana i kēia mau hanana ma ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka lako a me ka noi, "wahi a Knott.

E hoʻopiʻi ka ʻōnaehana me ka ikehu liʻiliʻi i nā hola o waho a hoʻihoʻi iā ia i ka pā i nā manawa o ka makemake nui.E hiki ai ke hoʻohana hou ʻia ka mana i hana ʻia ma New Zealand South Island ma ka ʻākau.

I ke kōkua ʻana i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ikehu hou, hiki i ka hale hana ke hiki i ka hoʻomaha ʻana i nā kumuwaiwai fossil fuel ma North Island, wahi a Knott.

E like me ka hoike ana maiEnergy-Storage.newsi Malaki, ʻo ka papahana hoʻopaʻa pākaukau nui loa o New Zealand he 35MW ʻōnaehana e kūkulu ʻia nei e ka hui hoʻolaha uila WEL Networks a me ka mea hoʻomohala Infratec.

Ma ka Mokupuni ʻĀkau, ke kokoke mai nei kēlā papahana i kona lā i manaʻo ʻia e hoʻopau ʻia i Dekemaba o kēia makahiki, me ka ʻenehana BESS i hāʻawi ʻia e Saft a me nā ʻōnaehana hoʻololi mana (PCS) e Power Electronics NZ.

Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ka ʻōnaehana mālama pākahi megawatt-scale mua o ka ʻāina he papahana 1MW/2.3MWh i hoʻopau ʻia i ka makahiki 2016 me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka Tesla Powerpack, ʻo Tesla ka hoʻomaka mua ʻana o kahi hoʻonā BESS ʻenehana a me ka grid-scale.Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka BESS mua i hoʻopili ʻia i ka pā uila uila kiʻekiʻe ma New Zealand i hele mai ʻelua makahiki ma hope o kēlā.
