Kubathuthukisi bephrojekthi nezinsiza ezihlela ingqalasizinda emikhulu, uguquko ukusuka kumaphrojekthi okulinga ukuya kumthamo weleveli yegridi kudinga uzakwethu onekhono lokuqalisa elifakazelwe. Ukukhetha umkhiqizi olungile akunqumi kuphela ukusebenza kokuqala kodwa futhi nokwethembeka kwesikhathi eside kanye nembuyiselo ekutshalweni kwezimali. Kwa-Wenergy, siletha isipiliyoni seminyaka engu-15 kukho konke ukusebenzelana, siletha isitoreji sebhethri esikalini esisetshenziswa ngokwezifiso esihlanganisa ngaphandle komthungo ne-solar, umoya, kanye nesizukulwane esivamile. Njengochwepheshe ku izixazululo zokugcina amandla egridi, siyaqonda ukuthi ukukhuphula kudinga okungaphezu kwamabhethri amakhulu; idinga ukuguquguquka kobunjiniyela, ukuvuthwa kwe-supply chain, nokusekelwa okujulile kwezobuchwepheshe kuwo wonke umjikelezo wokuphila wephrojekthi.

Inani Lolwazi Lomkhakha Ojulile

Lapho amaphrojekthi enwebeka ukusuka kuhora le-megawathi ukuya esikalini samahora amaningi we-megawatt, izinselele zobuchwepheshe ezingalindelekile zivame ukuvela. Ukukhethwa kwezingxenye, ukuphatha okushisayo, nokuthobela ukuphepha kuba nzima kakhulu. I-Wenergy isichithe iminyaka engu-15 icwenga indlela yethu yokugcina amabhethri esikalini esisetshenziswayo, ifunda ekusetshenzisweni ezindaweni ezihlukene zesimo sezulu nezimo zegridi. Lokhu okwenziwa kusivumela ukuthi silindele izithiyo zokuhlanganisa ngaphambi kokuthi zibambezele ukwakha. Amayunithi ethu e-BESS afakwe esitsheni senzelwe ukuthunyelwa ngokushesha kuyilapho egcina amazinga okuphepha aqinile nokusebenza alindeleke kuzixazululo ezihamba phambili zokugcina amandla egridi. Ngokubambisana nomkhiqizi oye wabhekana nezinguquko zemboni, amaklayenti agwema isigaba sokuzama nephutha futhi aqonde ngqo ekusebenzeni okuthembekile.

Ukuthuthukisa Ukusebenza Kwegridi kanye ne-ROI Evuselelekayo

Icala lezomnotho lesitoreji esikhulu lincike enani lokuthwebula emithonjeni eminingi yemali engenayo. Amasevisi okuqina kwegridi, ukushefa okuphezulu, nokuqinisa okuvuselelekayo endaweni ngayinye izidingo ezihlukene kumasistimu ebhethri. Eyethu isitoreji sebhethri sesikali esisetshenziswayo amadizayini amukela lezi zimo zokusetshenziswa ezihlukahlukene ngokusebenzisa izakhiwo zokulawula ezihlakaniphile kanye nokukhetha kwengxenye ye-modular. Sivumela izinsiza kanye nabakhiqizi bamandla abazimele ukuthi bagcine ukukhiqizwa kwamandla ngokweqile ngesikhathi sesidingo esiphansi futhi bakhiphe ngokuqondile lapho izintengo noma igridi iphakama kakhulu. Leli khono liguqula izimpahla ezivuselelekayo ngezikhathi ezithile zibe izinsiza ezithunyelwayo, okuqinisa ngokuqondile i-ROI evuselelekayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, njengabahlinzeki bezisombululo zokugcina amandla egridi, siqinisekisa ukuthi amasistimu ethu axhumana kahle ne-SCADA ekhona kanye nezinkundla zokuphatha amandla, okwenza kube lula ukuhlanganisa emisebenzini yenethiwekhi eyinkimbinkimbi.

Ukuzivumelanisa nezimo Kuzo zonke Izicelo kanye Nokucushwa Kwegridi

Awekho amaphrojekthi amakhulu amabili anezidingo ezifanayo. Amanye amasayithi afuna ukuzimela ngaphandle kwegridi, kuyilapho amanye adinga ukulungiselelwa okuxubile okuhlanganisa imithombo yezizukulwane eziningi. I-Wenergy ibhekana nalokhu kuhlukahluka ngokunikeza isitoreji sebhethri lesikali sokusetshenziswa ngokwezifiso esisebenza ngokwezifiso esisuka ekufakweni okuzimele siye kumalungu afanayo amayunithi amaningi. Izixazululo zethu ezifakwe emabhokisini zisekela izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-on-grid, off-grid, kanye ne-hybrid, zihlinzeka ngabanikazi bephrojekthi abavumelana nezimo njengoba izinhlaka zokulawula nezimo zemakethe zishintsha. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ihlanganisa namapulazi omoya amasha noma ukufaka kabusha izitshalo ezishisayo ezikhona, izixazululo zethu zokugcina amandla egridi zivumelana nezimo ngaphandle kokudinga ukwakhiwa kabusha okumba eqolo. Lokhu kuzivumelanisa nezimo, kuhlanganiswe nezinqubo zokukhiqiza ezisezingeni, kuqinisekisa izikhathi zokuhola ngokushesha ngisho nokucushwa okwenziwe ngendlela oyifisayo.

Ukukala ingqalasizinda yamandla kudinga umenzi obuka amaphrojekthi ngokuphelele, alinganisele ukunemba kobuchwepheshe nokusebenza kohwebo. E-Wenergy, irekhodi lethu leminyaka engu-15 ekugcinweni kwebhethri elisetshenziswayo lisihlomisela ukusekela amakhasimende kuzo zonke izigaba, kusukela ekubeni nokwenzeka kwasekuqaleni kuya ekuphathweni kwempahla yesikhathi eside. Ngokuletha izixazululo eziqinile, ezineziqukathi zokugcina amandla egridi ezenzelwe izimo ezithile zesayithi kanye nemigomo yemali engenayo, sinikeza amandla izinsiza nabathuthukisi bakhe amagridi kokubili aqinile futhi anenzuzo. Simema amaqembu ephrojekthi ukuthi athole ukuthi kanjani Wenergy ubuchwepheshe bungasheshisa ukuthunyelwa kwabo ngezinga elikhulu elilandelayo.
