Recently, Albasa station in Ethiopia, one of the first batches of microgrid projects of the World Bank 'lighting Africa', has been successfully put into operation.
A steady stream of electricity continues to be delivered to the surrounding remote villages, bringing light to the local people.
off-grid energy
The World Bank’s 'Lighting Africa' microgrid project aims to provide better, cleaner, and safer off-grid energy for remote villages and suburban towns, and promote African economic development.
The Albasa microgrid located in the Benishangul Gumuz area is mainly composed of distributed power sources such as photovoltaic, energy storage, and diesel generators.
microgrid solutions
The solution integrates the fast coordinating control technology of IEC-61850
NR was chosen to provide microgrid solutions for the project, including a microgrid energy management system, microgrid coordination controller, energy storage converter, photovoltaic inverter, and other core equipment.
The solution integrates the fast coordinating control technology of IEC-61850, and the virtual synchronous machine technology of energy storage and conversion, which effectively guarantees the continuous, safe, and stable operation of the off-grid system.
renewable energy
The successful operation of the project has been highly praised by the Ethiopian Electric Utility (EEU) and local media.
NR will continue to develop the core technologies for energy storage, renewable power generation, and microgrid control, giving full play to the advantages of technology and engineering experience. Focused on renewable energy and microgrid solutions, NR will provide better products & solutions for the global microgrid market.
