Cegasa – High Energy Storage System for a Mini Hybrid PV Solar Power Plant (Benin)

The project in Malenville, Benin, involves a 450 kWp roof-mounted photovoltaic solar power plant integrated with a Cegasa High Energy Storage solution. The system utilizes lithium LFP batteries with a storage capacity of 484 kWh (672 Vdc) to ensure a reliable power supply for the Juxtaposed Control Stations at the Benin-Niger border post, addressing the challenges of an underdeveloped local grid.

• The installation in Malenville, Benin, consists of a 450 kWp roof-mounted photovoltaic solar power plant and a Cegasa lithium LFP battery backup system with a storage capacity of 484 kWh (672 Vdc).
• The primary objective of the system is to provide a guaranteed power supply and energy backup for the Juxtaposed Control Stations at the border post between Benin and Niger, where the existing grid is described as very underdeveloped.
