Arnergy, an indigenous renewable energy firm has partnered with Momas Electricity Meters Manufacturing Company Limited (MEMMCOL), the leading provider of intelligent solutions and services in the Nigerian power sector, to complete the 500kVA Utility power system incorporating 540kWh (kilowatt hours or 0.54MWh) lithium-based battery energy storage system (BESS) for the Lower Usuma Dam Water Treatment Plant (LUDWTP) in Abuja.
Arnergy, committed to expanding access to sustainable energy across Africa, delivered the optimal power solution in collaboration with MEMMCOL (BDP). This solution converts the existing 1MWp on-grid power solution for the water treatment plant into a Utility-BESS interactive AC-coupled power system architecture sized at 500kVA and designed with 540kWh energy storage capacity.
The deployed power solution achieved 24 hours of power availability, zero fossil fuel interaction, a tremendous decrease in power expenses, and a top-notch power control system to switch seamlessly between Grid-Following and Grid-Forming operations modes.
In 2017, the Government of Japan, through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), collaborated with Abuja FCT Water Board (FCTWB) and the Federal Ministry of Power to deploy a 1.2MWp grid-connected Solar PV system to power the Lower Usuma Water Dam.
