New Solar Energy Storage System from Grupo Moura Already Aims to Supply Other Companies Needing Effective Energy
The company Compesa has begun the installation of an electric energy storage system powered by solar energy within the Water Treatment Station of Petrópolis, in Caruaru, developed exclusively by the Pernambuco manufacturer, Baterias Moura, which ensured the full operation of the ETA, as a way to avoid the problems that a simple and quick power outage can cause in water pumping.

Battery Energy Storage Systems
The Battery Energy Storage Systems, or the ‘BESS’ Moura, is the first system developed and produced 100% in Brazilian territory, designed to serve various sectors of electrical supply in Brazil.
This is a result of the partnership between Moura and the Edson Mororó Moura Technology Institute (ITEMM), a very important research, development, and engineering institute that focuses on batteries and energy storage systems in Brazil.

With 5.6 trillion tons of natural hydrogen beneath the Earth, 26 times the known oil and more energy than all the natural gas in the world, the new gold rush is already mobilizing Bill Gates, Amazon, and Petrobras.

U.S. researchers publish the first national map of natural hydrogen, placing 30 states on the radar and changing what was known about clean energy in the American underground.

Mataripe Refinery takes a decisive step in the energy transition by adopting solar energy, reducing consumption, and signaling a structural change that could impact the refining sector in Brazil.

Solar-powered ice factory in the Amazon that eliminated a 5-hour trip to Manaus, prevents the loss of up to two-thirds of the fish, and now ensures income for more than 30 riverside families.
Battery storage technology plays a fundamental role in ensuring that homes and businesses can be powered by green energy, even when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing.
For example, the United Kingdom has the largest installed capacity of offshore wind energy in the world, but the ability to capture that energy and deploy it purposefully can increase the value of that clean energy; boosting production and potentially reducing costs.
Grupo Moura Develops Solar Battery That Will Also Work at Night
The name of the system created by Grupo Moura is Battery Energy Storage Systems – BESS, which refers to a set of batteries that were specially developed at the research unit in Belo Jardim, which store energy generated during the day, precisely when it is cheaper, and is distributed at specific times.
The battery also acts as a type of support when ambient energy drops, enhancing security during supply. Additionally, it enables financial savings, as during peak times the price of energy is doubled.
New Battery from Grupo Moura Is Also a Sustainable Alternative
Grupo Moura states that the BESS is a sustainable alternative for reducing carbon dioxide and other pollutant gas emissions. Furthermore, the BESS has various possibilities, with a highlight on a fundamental one in photovoltaic solar energy systems, which is to use the energy stored from sunlight during the day and at night for up to 8 hours.
Moura prioritizes eliminating the discourse that it is impossible to generate electric energy at night temporarily, a narrative coming from thermal energy producers who oppose solar energy. The fact is that the BESS is here to demystify all this counter-argument.
Initial Destination of BESS
The system was developed for the water and sewage concessionaire, which currently operates with lead-carbon batteries, dominant by Grupo Moura. However, the company is already working on lithium batteries, which are a power source for electric cars.
Regarding Compesa, Grupo Moura’s battery will have a one-year deadline to install equipment at the unit. Grupo Moura will be compensated based on the savings generated. However, according to the company’s president, Manoela Marinho, the initial project may be replicated in other company units, as it aligns with various solutions already being developed to reduce electricity costs in its units.
For Grupo Moura, this is one of the projects the company is betting on, precisely because of the potential and business viability it represents, in terms of cumulative solar energy.
