Expansion of centralized grid service largely reinforces the existing sources of baseload supply. At the other extreme, assignment of the entire incremental demand to off-grid solar resources significantly alters the electricity supply in Africa South.
While storage value has been identified in many cases, three use cases are essential when it comes to off-grid systems: power quality, power reliability, and balancing support. Indeed, energy storage can enable time shifting at the time of excess low cost generation and the release of energy in times of peak demand [7 ].
With regard to off-grid generation in Africa, although off-grid resources have a role to play in expanding electric service, based on the extent of the existing electric grid infrastructure in Africa North, the continent is unlikely to fully bypass centralized grid service.
Most of Africa’s natural gas-fired generating capacity is located in Africa North, where most of the natural gas resources in the continent are located (Table 1). Most of the continent’s coal-fired generating capacity is located in Africa South. The Sahara Desert creates a barrier to shipping fuels and transmitting electricity on the continent.
1. Introduction: the challenges of energy storage Energy storage is one of the most promising options in the management of future power grids, as it can support the discharge periods for stand-alone applications such as solar photovoltaics (PV) and wind turbines.
