Cairo advanced energy storage technology

What is a large-scale energy storage project?

The project aims at providing the scientific, technological and policy basis required for the development and implementation of large-scale energy storage in Egypt, enabling increased penetration of renewable energy sources in the Egyptian energy system.

Can batteries solve Egypt's Electricity oversupply problem?

Egypt is exploring the potential of energy storage through batteries to combat our electricity oversupply problem: As Egypt continues to suffer from a major oversupply of electricity, the country is in need of new ways to tackle the issue.

Why do we need a virtual energy storage system?

Thus there is a need for some form of energy storage. Virtual storage for large energy generation systems is implemented by connecting all energy supply sources, conventional or renewable, to a common massive electrical grid; the demand side (consumers) are all also connected to the same grid.

How can battery storage help reduce energy costs?

Simultaneously, policies designed to build market growth and innovation in battery storage may complement cost reductions across a suite of clean energy technologies. Further integration of R&D and deployment of new storage technologies paves a clear route toward cost-effective low-carbon electricity.

Should battery storage be decarbonized?

Complementary advances in battery storage are of utmost importance to decarbonization alongside improvements in renewable electricity sources.

Will electricity storage benefit from R&D and deployment policy?

Electricity storage will benefit from both R&D and deployment policy. This study shows that a dedicated programme of R&D spending in emerging technologies should be developed in parallel to improve safety and reduce overall costs, and in order to maximize the general benefit for the system.
