Solar+Storage System For Humanitarian Operations In South Sudan

May 4, 2019
Norwegian firm Scatec Solar has linked up with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to provide a solar-plus-storage system to one of its humanitarian operations in South Sudan, while it plans to expand into other emergency zones in the region. According to PV-Tech news, A 700kW hybrid PV project linked with 1.6MWh of lithium-ion battery storage will be installed at the IOM-managed Humanitarian Hub in Malakal, which houses close to 300 humanitarian workers that provide services to nearly 30,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the nearby Protection of Civilians (PoC) site, a Scatec spokesperson told PV Tech. This is the second solar system at Malakal, as IOM already uses solar pumps to distribute 500,000 litres of water daily to meet the water needs of the PoC and Humanitarian Hub residents. --------------------***-------------------- Source:https://tinyurl.com/y4xgfycy Photo:www.energy-storage.news ……………………………………. ‘All rights to go to the author of the news & image as mentioned above’ -------------------------------------------
