4 FAQs about Mauritius Microgrid Energy Storage

Why is battery energy storage system being introduced in Mauritius?

The CEB is introducing a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) on its network to arrest the fluctuation inherent to Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) systems. This is due to the increasing share of VRE in Mauritius' energy mix, as the country's energy transition to a low carbon economy gains momentum.

What is energy storage in a microgrid?

In a microgrid, energy storage performs multiple functions, such as ensuring power quality, performing frequency and voltage regulation, smoothing the output of renewable energy sources, providing backup power for the system, and playing a crucial role in cost optimization.

How will Mauritius transition to a low carbon economy?

Mauritius is transitioning to a low carbon economy, with the Central Electricity Board (CEB) installing the first grid-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). This is the first of its kind in Mauritius and enables high capacity storage of renewable energy in the grid.

Why is energy storage important in a microgrid exploitation?

The energy storage system has an important role in a microgrid exploitation because it allows the flexibility needed to assure the balance between the production and consumption, in the presence of variations of either loads or intermittent sources.
