The Fundamentals of Battery Energy Storage for Beginners
VUKA Group has partnered with the South African Energy Storage Association and the GIZ to develop and publish an energy storage guide called The Fundamentals of Battery Energy Storage for Beginners.
The guide has been created as a practical guide for anyone considering installing an energy storage system. Aimed at the Commercial & Industrial Sector, the digital handbook launched today (Wednesday 12 October) and is available for FREE download.
The Fundamentals of Battery Energy Storage for Beginners was funded in part by the South African-German Energy Partnership, implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH (South Africa, Lesotho & eSwatini Country Office).
The South African Energy Storage Association (SAESA) has also been instrumental in working with VUKA Group to get the handbook off the ground. SAESA spokesperson Jo Dean said the objective of the handbook is to bridge the gap between end-user of the product and the engineering and supply partners. It is meant to keep both sides of the table equally informed.
What is the Fundamentals of Battery Energy Storage?
A step-by-step guide to all your behind-the-meter installation of battery energy storage project needs, the handbook will be useful to anyone responsible for overseeing or seeking funding for energy storage infrastructure. Divided into four main areas, the handbook lays out what you need to understand before embarking on your project, by explaining:
- Frequently asked questions,
- Technical matters,
- Regulatory matters, and
- Finance, investment and commercial considerations.
The e-book explores use cases and answers many of the frequently asked questions when considering the installation of an energy storage system. This guide is aimed at decision makers who have little to no experience in managing the day-to-day power requirements of their businesses but are now responsible for a substantial capital investment project.
