Is battery energy storage possible in Jordan?

In response to this, Fichtner in collaboration with the Jordanian Ministry of Energy and the transmission system operator, NEPCO, has analyzed the potential for battery energy storage and, in the role of Transaction Advisor, is providing support for implementing a pilot project.

Why should energy storage systems be installed in Jordanian power plants?

The lack of large energy storage systems prevents conventional power plants from running on maximum generation capacity, any extra generated power to the Jordanian electric loads will flow to Egypt via the tie line; installing large energy storage systems will enhance the electrical generation efficiency .

Why does the Jordanian national grid need an economic development?

The Jordanian national grid needs an economic development by managing the energy generation in order to decrease the generated energy price . The intermittent nature of output energy from the Renewable Energy Generators (REGs) varies instantaneously with any small variation in weather conditions .

How does the Jordanian grid work?

The Jordanian grid is connected via tie line with Egypt; due to Egypt's high contribution of the generated energy and connected loads, it controls the frequency over the grid, while the Jordanian national grid controls the power flow over the tie line.

What is integrated energy storage system (IESS)?

Advantageous integrated energy storage systems (IESS) can be utilized for power systems’ operations generating set units with maximum possible efficiency, optimizing of unit commitment, integrating of more renewable energy generators, and utilizing renewable energy generators as peak power plants.

How does a tie line work in Jordan?

The power flow over the tie line is metered according to the tariff value accredited; the Jordanian national grid sometimes exports generated electrical energy with a price lower than cost leading to financial losses. The tie line provides the capability to trade power.
