中國儲能網(wǎng)訊：日前據(jù)悉，EnSync能源系統(tǒng)公司進軍正在迅速發(fā)展的非洲微電網(wǎng)市場，將向東非地區(qū)的一個村莊建設(shè)一個微電網(wǎng)項目。由于該地區(qū)沒有公用事業(yè)或配套基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施，這個微電網(wǎng)項目將為當(dāng)前社區(qū)獨立提供能源。
這個計劃建設(shè)的微電網(wǎng)包括一套180千瓦的太陽能光伏（PV）系統(tǒng)，一套112千瓦時的儲能系統(tǒng)，以及相關(guān)電力電子設(shè)備來整合和優(yōu)化能源來滿足需求和能源管理軟件。
EnSync公司是一家創(chuàng)新的分布式能源（DER）系統(tǒng)和能源互聯(lián)網(wǎng)（IOE）控制平臺的行業(yè)廠商。其所提供的微電網(wǎng)系統(tǒng)的非光伏組件都安裝在EnSync Energy DER SuperModule?中，這是一個完全集成的獨立分布式能源（DER）系統(tǒng)。該項目出售當(dāng)?shù)卮迩f，通過微電網(wǎng)向村民出售電力。
EnSync能源公司的模塊化技術(shù)和分析能力滿足了非洲國家快速增長的能源需求，雖然新興微電網(wǎng)市場具有一定復(fù)雜性，但非洲國家的傳統(tǒng)電力基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施往往匱乏。

EnSync能源公司執(zhí)行副總裁Dan Nordloh表示：“分布式能源（DER）的超級模塊能夠快速調(diào)試先進的微電網(wǎng)，可以顯著減少項目建設(shè)進度和成本。該系統(tǒng)使用簡單，同時也減輕了整合多個分布式能源的風(fēng)險?？蛻魧で螳@得電能，而我們將向偏遠村莊出售其可負擔(dān)得起并且可靠的電力。我們很高興能夠采用集成系統(tǒng)來滿足這些高要求?！?
EnSync 能源公司的項目工程師模擬了該村最初的預(yù)期能源負荷，以提供規(guī)模適當(dāng)?shù)奈㈦娋W(wǎng)的太陽能和儲能組件。通過SuperModule的 Matrix?能源管理系統(tǒng)和DER Flex?軟件支持等技術(shù)，EnSync公司的能源互聯(lián)網(wǎng)平臺可連接所有電源，并根據(jù)需求和天氣條件等變量優(yōu)化性能，從而使微型電力設(shè)施配置保持靈活性。
EnSync能源公司首席執(zhí)行官Brad Hansen表示：“我們向非洲和其他電力匱乏地區(qū)提供微型公用事業(yè)系統(tǒng)的能力證明了我們在公用事業(yè)市場的轉(zhuǎn)型領(lǐng)導(dǎo)地位，這個市場正在轉(zhuǎn)向分布式能源資源的生成和分配?！?b>（中國儲能網(wǎng)獨家編譯，轉(zhuǎn)載請注明來源）

New entry for EnSync into African microgrid market

EnSync Energy Systems has debuted in the rapidly growing African microgrid market through the sale of a project that will deliver electricity to an East African village.
EnSync is a specialist in innovative distributed energy resource (DER) systems and internet of energy (IOE) control platforms.
With no utility or supporting infrastructure in the area, this microgrid will independently provide energy for a community that currently has no electricity.
The planned microgrid consists of a 180-kW solar photovoltaic (PV) system, a 112-kWh energy storage system, power electronics to integrate and optimize energy sources to meet demand and energy management software.
The non-PV components of the system are all housed in an EnSync Energy DER SuperModule?, a fully integrated and self-contained DER system. The project was sold to a buyer who will sell electricity to village residents via the microgrid, essentially serving as the area micro-utility.
EnSync Energy's modular technologies and analytic capabilities meet the complexities of the burgeoning microgrid market in African countries, where energy demand is growing rapidly, but traditional electricity infrastructure is often lacking.
The continent as a whole is projected to contain 35,000 microgrids by 2021 that will serve as key electricity providers to millions of people who currently lack access.
"The DER SuperModule enables rapid commissioning of an advanced microgrid, significantly reducing project construction schedule and cost," said Dan Nordloh, executive vice president of EnSync Energy. "The system offers simplicity, while also mitigating the risks associated with integrating multiple distributed energy resources. Our customer was looking for a way to serve as the utility, selling affordable and reliable electricity to remote villages on a mobile phone-based payment platform," Nordloh said. "We are proud that our integrated system was chosen to meet these high demands."
EnSync Energy's project engineers modeled the village's initial expected energy load to appropriately size the microgrid's solar and storage components. The resulting micro-utility configuration will remain flexible through the SuperModule's supporting technologies – the Matrix? Energy Management System and DER Flex? software – EnSync's Internet of Energy platform that connects all power resources and optimizes performance based on variables such as demand and weather conditions.
"Our ability to deliver micro-utility systems to Africa and other electricity-challenged regions demonstrates our transformational leadership in the utility market, which is shifting towards distributed energy resource-based generation and distribution," said Brad Hansen, chief executive officer of EnSync Energy.
