Is the Sao Tome and Principe a flywheel energy storage system
Now São Tomé's first solar microgrid in Neves is testing a 200kW flywheel system that's already reduced diesel consumption by 40% during cloud cover events. Initial costs can make government officials sweat more than a midday market vendor. With 60% of the population still relying on diesel generators (World Bank, 2023), this island nation is literally burning money to keep fans spinning. Enter flywheel technology – the unsung hero of energy. . Global OTEC's flagship project is the “Dominque,” a floating 1. 5-MW OTEC platform set to be installed in São Tomé and Príncipe in 2025 (Figure 1). The company says the platform “will be the first commercial-scale OTEC system. But here's the kicker—they're using retired EV batteries from Europe, giving old power packs new purpose under the African sun [1]. Once operational, it will eliminate 13,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. It will then be installed at the University of Sheffield"s 2MW battery facility where it will be upgraded to provide 1MW of peak power and 20kWh of energy storage, and used as a hybrid energy storage s battery energy storage technologies.
