Tesla's Li-ion Battery Inaugrated at Globe's Largest Solar Farm

• Dubai Electricity and also Water Authority (DEWA) has actually inaugurated a pilot project for energy storage at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park making use of Tesla's lithium-ion battery remedy. The project has a power ability of 1.21 MW and also an energy capability of 8.61 MWh with a life span of approximately one decade.

" The energy storage space project utilizing Tesla's lithium-ion battery service at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, aims to expand the energy mix and also improve energy storage space innovations," stated Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & Chief Executive Officer of DEWA. "The pilot project will evaluate the technical as well as economic capacities of this innovation."

"It also examines the function of this technology in the integration in between clean energy and energy storage space to accomplish maximum efficiency and also reliability," added Al Tayer.

DEWA is carrying out various other energy storage space projects that consists of, utilizing Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) in the 4th phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. The project combines CSP as well as photovoltaic or pv photovoltaic panels with a manufacturing capability of 950MW.

The project will certainly have the globe's largest global thermal storage space capability of 15 hours, facilitating energy schedule round the clock.

DEWA is also implementing a 250MW pumped-storage hydroelectric power plant in Hatta, the initial of its kind in the Arabian Gulf region. It will create electricity using the water saved at Hatta Dam with a storage capacity of 1,500 MWh. In cooperation with Expo 2020 Dubai and also Siemens Energy, DEWA has actually inaugurated the Green Hydrogen project, the first of its kind in the Middle East and also North Africa to create environment-friendly hydrogen making use of solar power. The project was carried out at the outside screening centers of DEWA's R&D Centre at the solar park.

Tesla is additionally partnering with Japanese firms to construct an energy storage facility using its rechargeable battery in Hokkaido in north Japan to aid secure the power system.
