Grupo Moura develops a system capable of using solar energy at night

New solar energy storage system by Grupo Moura already aims to supply other companies that need effective energy    

The company Compesa started the installation of an electric energy storage system powered by solar energy inside the Petrópolis Water Treatment Station, in Caruaru, developed exclusively by the Pernambucan manufacturer, Baterias Moura, which guaranteed the full operation of the ETA, as way to avoid the problems that a simple and quick interruption of energy can cause when pumping water.

Battery Energy Storage Systems

O Battery Energy Storage Systems, or the 'BESS' Moura, is the first system developed and produced 100% in Brazil, which was designed to serve several sectors of electricity supply in Brazil.

This is a result of Moura's partnership with the Edson Mororó Moura Institute of Technology (ITEMM), a very important research, development and engineering institute, which maintains its focus on batteries and energy storage systems in Brazil.

TECHNOLOGY AND SMARTPHONES – FREE MARKET

Battery storage technology has a key role to play in ensuring that homes and businesses can be powered by green energy, even when the sun isn't shining or the wind has stopped blowing.

For example, the UK has the largest installed offshore wind power capacity in the world, but the ability to capture that energy and deploy it purposefully can increase the value of that clean energy; increasing production and potentially reducing costs.

Grupo Moura develops a solar battery that will also work at night

The name of the system created by Grupo Moura is Battery Energy Storage Systems – BESS, which boils down to a set of batteries that were specially developed at the Belo Jardim research unit, which accumulate energy generated during the day, precisely during the period when it is cheaper and is distributed at specific times.

The battery also serves as a kind of back-up when the ambient power drops, which increases security during supply. In addition, it also enables financial savings, since at peak times the price of energy is doubled.

New Grupo Moura battery is also a sustainable alternative

The Moura Group reports that BESS is a sustainable alternative for reducing carbon dioxide emissions and other polluting gases. In addition, BESS has several possibilities, highlighting a fundamental one in photovoltaic solar energy systems, which is to use the energy that is stored with sunlight during the day and night for a period of up to 8 hours. .

One of Moura's priorities is to eliminate the discourse that it is temporarily impossible to generate electricity at night, a discourse coming from thermal energy producers who are against solar energy. The fact is that BESS is here to demystify all this contrary argument.

BESS initial destination

The system was developed for the water and sewage concessionaire, which currently works with batteries of the lead-carbon route, dominant for the Moura Group. However, the company is already working on the lithium route, which is a power source for electric cars.

In the case of Compesa, Grupo Moura's battery will have a period of one year to install the equipment in the unit. The Moura Group will be remunerated based on the savings generated. However, according to the company's president, Manoela Marinho, the initial project could be replicated in other units of the company, as it is in line with several solutions that were already being developed, with the aim of reducing costs with electricity in its units.

For the Moura Group, this is one of the projects that the company is betting heavily on, precisely because of the potential and the viability of the business that it represents, when it comes to cumulative terms of solar energy.
