ACCELERATING THE ENERGY TRANSITION THROUGH POWER

Working principle of photovoltaic power station energy storage cabinet
Its working principle is that when the photovoltaic components generate excess power during the day, the surplus electrical energy is converted into chemical energy and stored in the internal battery pack; and when night falls or encounters rainy weather, the photovoltaic system generates insufficient power, and then the stored electrical energy is released to provide a stable power supply for the load.

Mauritania Energy Storage Power Purchase
This procurement aims to integrate a grid-connected BESS in northern Nouakchott, supported by an energy management system, civil infrastructure, electrical connection to the national power grid, and training/skill transfer activities. [pdf]FAQS about Mauritania Energy Storage Power Purchase
Why should Mauritania build a battery-based electricity storage facility?
The project will enable the financing and construction of Mauritania‘s first large–scale battery–based electricity storage facility, enabling the country to make optimal use of its abundant solar and wind resources, and ensure a more reliable electricity supply.
How does Mauritania get its electricity?
The last 24% is insured by the electricity importation coming from Manantaly hydro power plant based in Mali. In 2011, electricity production stood at 136 megawatts (MW) in Mauritania and was 100% from thermo power. Mauritania aims to increase and diversify its energy sources.
How much energy does Mauritania use?
Some projects are emerging to benefit from solar, wind and biomass resources and to increase the access rate to the grid. According to RPTES/World Bank study, consumption of Energy Mauritania stands to 481.000 tonnes of oil equivalent (toe).
How will Mauritania increase its energy sources?
Mauritania aims to increase and diversify its energy sources. For example, it has developed an electricity plant that will be alimented by Banda gas . This facility should produce 350 MW in 2015 and will be connected to Nouakchott and Nouadhibou. Furthermore, the plant should produce 700 MW and could export electricity to Senegal and Mali .
How does Mauritania contribute to energy security?
Through these multilateral partnerships, Mauritania affirms its commitment to continue implementing development projects that achieve its vision of energy security, in a way that serves the interests of citizens and enhances its capabilities in attracting investments.
