The Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) has partnered with China’s BYD Energy Storage to construct the world’s largest grid-scale energy storage project in Saudi Arabia. BYD is set to supply an impressive 12.5 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) capacity. [pdf]
The main technologies Saudi Arabia employs are photovoltaic and concentrated solar power. Of these two, photovoltaic (PV) systems are the most commonly applied throughout Saudi Arabia. They produce clean electricity by converting solar energy through semiconductor materials. Between different PV systems, research shows that sun-tracking systems such as the 1-axis tracking system and the 2-axis tracking system produce the greatest amount of energy compare. [pdf]
