Battery energy storage system for loadshedding mitigation. The Hex battery project will eventually incorporate a 60MW solar PV plant component, but for now, it will charge power from the Eskom grid. "We will charge batteries through the grid, ideally during off-peak. It''s a time when the wind is howling in the Western Cape, at 2am.
Considering large scale implementation of electric vehicles (EVs), public EV charging stations are served as fuel tanks for EVs to meet the need of longer travelling distance and overcome the shortage of private charging piles. The allocation of local battery energy storage (BES) can enhance the flexibility of the EV charging station. This paper
