Grid Connection Code for Renewable Power Plants (RPPs) connected to the electricity Transmission System (TS) or the Distribution System (DS) in South Africa. Grid Connection Code for Battery Energy Storage Facilities (BESF) connected to the electricity Transmission System (TS) or the Distribution System (DS) in South Africa. 3.
In South Africa, battery storage is increasingly seen as a key pillar to help provide grid stability and integrate variable renewables given its ageing coal-fired power fleet and grid.
South Africa’s state-owned utility Eskom anticipates that these projects will showcase the effectiveness of batteries in facilitating the integration of renewable energy into the country's energy mix, while simultaneously easing the strain on the national electricity grid.
However, in order to ensure that these distributed energy systems can be safely and stably connected to the power grid, South Africa has formulated strict grid connection standards, among which NRS097-2 certification is one of the key requirements.
‘Battery Energy Storage Facility Owner’ means a legal entity that is licensed or registered to develop and operate a BESF. ‘Codes’ means the Distribution Code, the Transmission Code and any other Code approved by the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA).
South Africa is aiming to procure utility-scale battery storage with two tender programmes: its Battery Storage IPP Procurement Programme as well as hybrid battery storage and variable renewables projects through its Risk Mitigation IPP Procurement Programme.
