Energy Storage Systems
Energy storage consists in preserving a quantity of energy for later use. ESS systems develop a cost-effective, reliable and environmentally friendly mixed flow battery. The benefits of EHS systems include: promoting the efficient use of intermittent renewables, the ability to combine them into a smart integrated energy system, reducing the need for additional generation capacity at peak hours, improving grid reliability, continuously improving performance and costs, and the ability to integrate renewables and fossil fuels.

These sources are solar and wind. The objective of Tozzi Green's research is to overcome the discontinuity of renewable sources so that the energy becomes usable on demand of the user. There's also another storage project in Madagascar which is the first solar photovoltaic plant that is expanded and equipped with batteries. Indeed, the first solar power plant will be equipped with battery storage and its production capacity will be increased by 20 MW. JinkoSolar also provides turnkey DC-coupled battery system to West Africa. It will integrate batteries, power conditioning system (PCS), EMS software and other necessary components. The batteries are charged directly from the power plant when there is excess energy production that would otherwise be lost, and then stored before being fed into the grid when needed. They can also be used for grid services such as frequency regulation or commercial and industrial peak shaving. While this scenario is possible today for industrialized countries, the same cannot be said for certain countries whose inhabitants' way of life is severely limited by a lack of electricity. As for all things, the ESS system also has its drawbacks such as inefficient "round trip" energy loss, additional cost and complexity, and infrastructure and space requirements. You've seen the pros and cons, will you use ESS? But in your decisions, don't forget that ESS can contribute to carbon neutrality.

Hello, this is your mentor Minkyung.
Thank you for giving information on renewable energy and ESS in Madagascar. It would have been better if you included pictures from the actual ESS in Madagascar.
Great job writing November report, and keep up the work :)

Hi, Barisoa Nancy Andriamiarimbola!
This is your mentor, Yoon.
Thank you for introducing renewable energy and its energy storage systems in Madagascar. Your report is more interesting as you not only explained what ESS is but also provided specific applications in Madagascar.
Great job on writing the thematic report.
I am looking forward to reading your following report!
