5 FAQs about [Zimbabwe substation battery bank]

How are substation battery banks purchased?

What are the different types of battery banks used for substation applications?

There are two major types of battery banks used for substation applications; lead acid and nickel cadmium. The nickel cadmium battery banks are about twice the cost of lead acid for the same size bank. The major advantage that nickel cadmium batteries have over lead acid is their performance in poor climatic conditions.

Where are battery banks purchased?

Battery banks are purchased direct from pre-approved battery bank manufacturers. Battery banks are purchased for individual substation projects and for replacement of deteriorated existing banks throughout the system as needed. Lead acid battery banks are purchased as close to their required need date as possible.

What type of battery bank does JEA use?

JEA has standardized on lead acid type battery banks to supply this 125 volt DC requirement for its substations. There are two major types of battery banks used for substation applications; lead acid and nickel cadmium. The nickel cadmium battery banks are about twice the cost of lead acid for the same size bank.

How will battery-energy storage technology benefit WAPP operators?

Battery-energy storage technologies will enable WAPP operators to store renewable energy generated at non-peak hours and dispatch it during peak demand, instead of relying on more carbon-intensive generation technology when the demand is high, the sun is not shining, or the wind is not blowing.
