The opening, which coincided with the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2019, marks the first integrated control system for energy storage in Abu Dhabi. It aims to serve the city by ensuring load balancing during the day.
The Themar Al Emarat Microgrid Project – Battery Energy Storage System is a 250kW lithium-ion battery energy storage project located in Al Kaheef, Sharjah, the UAE. The rated storage capacity of the project is 286kWh. The electro-chemical battery storage project uses lithium-ion battery storage technology. The project was announced in 2019.
Abu Dhabi Department of Energy has opened the region's first Grid Scale Battery Deployment and the world's largest Virtual Battery Plant with a capacity of 108 megawatts distributed over 10 sites across the emirate.
"The landmark deployment ensures sustainable energy supply across several key sites in Abu Dhabi as part of an integrated plan to secure sufficient electrical power production to meet growing demand for energy in the emirate," said Awaidha Murshed Al Marar, chairman of the Department of Energy.
The Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Thermal Power Plant – Thermal Energy Storage System is a 100,000kW concrete thermal storage energy storage project located in Seih Al-Dahal, Dubai, the UAE. The thermal energy storage battery storage project uses concrete thermal storage storage technology.
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), a utility in the neighbouring Emirate of Dubai, is building a 250MW PHES plant for a reported 2024 operation.
